Hayley Barnard

“Hayley is an absolute gem of a speaker! We had had Hayley speak at two employee engagement events back when I was at Capital One. She made such a lasting impression that when we started to plan a DE&I event here at HSBC, it was a no brainer to secure Hayley as one of our keynote speakers.”

Amber Cross, Global Head of Internal Comms, HSBC

“Hayley recently delivered her inspiring session to over 3000 people at our annual conference. She really tailored her messaging to our colleagues and business and managed to make D&I practical and tangible. I know she has already received really great feedback from the audience, and we continue to hear how enlightening, thought provoking and interesting her session was.”

Steven Evans, Global Head of Wellness & Inclusion, Specsavers

“This was the first time I have worked with Personally Speaking and I can’t recommend them enough. Joanne and Louise were particularly helpful. The communications were seamless and timely between us. We booked Hayley Barnard for an IWD event and she was fantastic. She was warm, informative, on the briefing call she really got to know us as a company and as a result, the presentation was well thought out and received. The feedback from our clients and partners was fantastic. Thank you Joanne, Louise and Hayley, I look forward to working with you all again”

Ailish O’Dowd, Head of Marketing and Business Development, Hayes Solicitors

“A BIG thank you for an amazing presentation yesterday! We have received so many positive and great responses and the whole team really appreciated your style and way of presenting a super relevant topic. I have already had several conversations with people who have done some good reflection on inclusion.”

HRBP, Colgate-Palmolive

“Hayley presented at our Senior Management Conference on Unconscious Bias and Inclusive Leadership. We have had fantastic feedback in terms of the great content which was delivered in both an engaging and authentic style. For example, ‘This was fascinating, brilliantly presented and directly applicable in the workplace.”

Dan Forbes-Pepitone, Talent Director, SKANSKA

Steven Evans, Well-being and Inclusion Lead, SPECSAVERS

“Hayley was our guest speaker at our Altrad leadership seminar in Tarragona, Spain. With her incredible positive energy and kind heart, Hayley was able to convince the mostly male public of the need for D&I.”

Myriam Daenen, CFO, Altrad

“Thank you for your inspiring, engaging and insightful presentation during our Leadership Conference. You raised our awareness but also our confidence in this important topic.”

Volker Zoller, President EMEA, Essity

“We were delighted here with Hayley both at the internal and client event and have had nothing but good feedback from all attendees. I think her topic and the way in which she approached it, engaged and resonated greatly with the audience.”

Jackie Drew, Maples & Calder

“Hayley’s passion for topic was infectious and her professionalism in working to ensure the talk met our needs was impressive. Hayley is an engaging speaker that opens up the topic of inclusion of diversity in the workplace in such manner that inspires you to take action.”

Director of Operations, Roche

“Hayley’s style, tone and content was spot on!”

Chief People Officer, Willmott Dixon

“Hayley recently presented at our EuroCACS conference for our Connecting Women Leaders in Technology programme. Her approach was energising, informative and presented with style and humour. The audience left with practical advice on how to improve gender balance in our workplaces and great feedback!”

Maureen Gibbons, Director of Engagement, ISACA

“Hayley was great at using stories to illustrate the subject and made it accessible for the audience, most of whom had no knowledge of Unconscious Bias before the session. She spoke with humility about her own biases and was able to help others start to see theirs without being accusatory. Her style is conversational and relaxed.”

Jacqueline Page, HRBP, DIAGEO

“Hayley was fantastic, full of energy and gave us great insights and tools to take ourselves to the next level. She also spent significant time with us prior to the conference to understand the context of the in-house counsel and customise the message to the challenges we face in our roles. It was a pleasure to work with her.”
