‘An absolute master of taking the audience on a journey and keeping them glued throughout’.

Jackie Handy is a leadership development specialist who focuses on belonging, culture, and the focus needed to help people thrive at work.

As a former senior leader in executive recruitment, she noticed that the way people connected with one another directly impacted results. Her professional experience and subsequent research led her to develop The Matter Model® to help organisational people leaders focus on what really matters when you lead people.

Jackie’s work is shaped by her lived experience and deep belief in people. She’s a passionate advocate for Dementia UK, a proud long-distance hiker, and someone who believes the best leaders aren’t the loudest – they’re the ones who focus on the things that matter most.

She now supports clients across sectors from global tech giants to local government teams, and brings equal energy to a training room of ten or a event auditorium of thousands.

Her Best Storyteller recognition at the UK Speaker Awards shows she doesn’t just take to the stage, she takes audiences on a journey. One where insight meets humour, and leadership stops being a performance and starts being human again.

Expect laughter. Expect goosebumps.

Expect lessons for that will refocus your leadership, permanently.
