Book Claire Brumby | Leadership and Motivational Keynote Speaker

Claire Brumby is a UK leadership keynote speaker, motivational speaker, bestselling leadership author, award-winning entrepreneur and experienced commercial leader specialising in self-leadership, change, resilience, confidence and performance.

Through powerful storytelling, practical leadership tools and real-world business experience, Claire helps people think differently about how they lead themselves and others – particularly through change, challenge and pressure.

From building and exiting her own multi-million-pound FMCG business to appearing on BBC Dragons’ Den and working with leaders and organisations across sectors, Claire brings lived commercial experience to the stage.

Her keynotes explore the human side of leadership: how we think, respond under pressure, build confidence and resilience, challenge old patterns and take greater ownership for what happens next.

Claire is also the author of Forget Normal – I Want M.A.G.I.C., published by Kogan Page, a modern leadership book exploring what it takes to lead in a changing world. In a world that demands adaptability, authenticity and emotional intelligence, Claire offers a fresh way to lead, one rooted in intuition, resilience, courage and personal power.

Every keynote is tailored to the organisation, audience and desired outcome. Creating an experience that is relevant, energising and designed to move people into meaningful action.

With warmth, wisdom and magnetic presence, Claire challenges outdated ideas of leadership and equips organisations with practical tools to navigate change, unlock potential and perform at their best.

For organisations looking for a female keynote speaker who can energise the room, challenge the status quo and leave audiences with a roadmap for immediate action, Claire delivers lasting impact long after the event ends.

Why me?

I don’t speak about leadership from theory alone. I’ve lived it.

I built a business from an idea into a multi-million-pound FMCG brand, navigated growth, uncertainty, setbacks and change, pitched on BBC Dragons’ Den and ultimately exited the business.

Since then, I’ve worked with leaders, teams and organisations across sectors, combining commercial experience with leadership development, professional coaching and behavioural insight.

That means I understand the reality behind the leadership conversation – the pressure to perform, make decisions, bring people with you, navigate change and keep moving when the answer isn’t obvious.

My style is energetic, honest, practical and relatable. I challenge audiences to think differently, but importantly, I give them something to do with that thinking.

Because a great keynote shouldn’t simply create a moment in the room. It should change what happens afterwards.

I’m proud to have been recognised as one of the top 10 UK business speakers alongside other esteemed leaders such as Lord Alan Sugar and Deborah Meaden, and to have been named among the 50 Women Who Are Changing The World Today.

In a world that is changing faster than ever, playing it safe is no longer the safe option. Leaders and organisations need the courage to challenge the status quo, unlock new ways of thinking and take bold, aligned action.

My keynotes are designed to do exactly that.

I deliver powerful, transformational sessions that energise audiences, spark fresh perspective and leave people with a clear roadmap they can use immediately, in business, leadership and life.
