Public Speaking
Creativity is more than a skill, it is a performance system.
Drawing on 20+ years leading brand and communications teams, alongside MBA research into creative climate, Jemma Baker Volp explores how the conditions inside organisations shape idea flow, resilience and strategic execution.
Her talks move beyond inspiration to practical insight, equipping leaders and teams with frameworks they can apply immediately.
Whether speaking to executive teams, leadership cohorts or cross functional audiences, she connected research with lived organisational experiences.
