How she presents

Belinda is a natural speaker; audiences leave with a framework for making the leadership calls AI cannot make for them and the confidence to lead the transition rather than be led by it.

In Detail

Her Empathy & Empowerment Programme for one bank where she trained over 200 Fraud & Complaints advisors, delivered a 9% uplift in net promoter rates and a 7.5% reduction in call handling times. Her work with AGL produced a 20.9% reduction in customer complaints and $1.7 million in cost savings. Her Global Empathy Index, published in the Harvard Business Review, connects empathy rankings directly to earnings, productivity, and retention. As AI absorbs more cognitive work, Belinda helps leaders identify what only humans can do and build it deliberately. A qualified barrister, OBE recipient, and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, she is currently writing a leadership playbook on turning empathy into a practical toolkit for the AI era.
