Kirsty Hulse is a world leading Confidence Coach and motivational speaker. She founded her first company at 26, a marketing agency with global clients like Virgin Atlantic and IBM, which turned over nearly a million dollars in its first year of trading.

A highly qualified coach and accredited meditation teacher, she has delivered training programs to audiences of over 14,000. Her work has been described as “game changing”, “life changing” and from the thousands of people she has worked with, 100% of attendees would recommend her work to a colleague. 

She is also a standup comedian and brings this passion for humour into her work.

Laura Linham is a journalist with over 13 years of experience, on both the regional and national press, who changes her hair colour about 15 times a year.

Having cut her teeth on her local paper, it wasn’t long before her byline was appearing in magazines, national newspapers, at OneSub and on the cover of the book she co-authored - So, You Say I Can't Vote!: Frances Connelly: The working-class woman's route to the vote. Her name also didn't appear on two books that she’d ghost-written.

Fuelled almost entirely by caffeine and chaos, you can find her on Twitter, if you like talking about comics, politics and journalism.
