  Eliza Filby

  Historian of Contemporary Values and Visiting Professor, King’s College, London

  Eliza is a speaker, writer and consultant specialising in a history of Generations and contemporary values. Eliza looks at how the people’s values and behaviours are changing and the implications for politics, work, consumption, society and economics. She studies the evolution of generations rather than lazy generalisations; nuance and history is key. Her job is to differentiate between what is age-related and what is generation-specific. Eliza published her first book God and Mrs Thatcher: The Battle for Britain’s Soul in 2015 based on her PhD. When writing about political change in the eighties, she became more and more interested in the generation that were born in that era i.e. Millennials. Out of which, spun a research career into generational change. Eliza has written for the major broadsheets in the UK from The Guardian, Times, Telegraph as well as reviewed for the Financial Times. She loves the thrill of a live broadcast and has frequently appeared on the media from BBC News to Fox News as well as radio programmes. Eliza also regularly appear on the Sky News Evening Paper Review Show. 'Research for research sake is lovely but I relish sharing my knowledge with people and organisations for whom it has particular value and I’ve been lucky to speak at and work with some truly impressive companies both big and small. I have debated at the Oxford Union, sparred at the Conservative Party Conference, delivered Powerpoint slides at Buckingham Palace'.

  Ben Lyttleton

  British football journalist and author

  Ben Lyttleton is a football journalist and author who understands that we can learn the most important aspects of work and life from the world’s most popular sport. In his book Edge: Leadership Secrets of Football’s Top Thinkers, he interviewed some of football’s top coaches, including Thomas Tuchel, Didier Deschamps and Emma Hayes, to learn how they identify, develop and retain talent, focusing on resilience, empathy, and creativity. Ben has worked with leading football and NBA teams and their coaches to help them develop elite performance. His first book Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty examined how elite athletes understand and manage their anxiety to perform at their best under pressure - making good decisions and executing tasks while keeping your composure can be trained! He has advised Premier League and national teams on their penalty strategy. Ben has developed a comprehensive picture of leadership, teamwork, talent improvement and performing under pressure and he uses football as the perfect lens through which to improve behaviours and results for leaders in any business. He is also the co-author of the best-selling children’s book series Football School, which uses football to open up the school curriculum and inspire a generation of children to develop a love of reading. Ben works with literacy charities, the Premier League and some of its biggest clubs by using football as a powerful educational force for good. Ben’s latest project is as co-owner of the Danish professional football club, Akademisk Boldklub, known as AB, where he is using his lessons from a career in football to gain an edge for his team.
