I'm Benjamin Laker, a bestselling author and renowned leadership advisor dedicated to exploring how leaders can address pervasive global crises—whether it's geopolitical unrest, climate change, or economic and health disparities.

Building on this foundation, I design and deliver leadership programs around the world—from Singapore to Paris, London to San Francisco—providing everything from intimate workshops to keynote addresses for clients including American Express, Apple, Google, and Microsoft. My engagements often focus on revealing emerging trends and organisational strategies that define the future of work, offering strategic insights that enable leaders to adapt and thrive amidst changes in the ever-evolving economic and political landscape.

So, why engage me to help your organisation? 


I hold a professorial chair in leadership at Henley Business School—the oldest business school in the UK, part of the University of Reading—and I’m invited to attend United Nations Climate Change Conferences and United States House Select Committee hearings, which provide legislative recommendations to the United States Congress. 

You can read my thoughts in Harvard Business Review, Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Additionally, I speak on television networks, including Bloomberg, BBC, and Sky News, where I discuss emerging trends, economic developments, and political shifts, offering expert commentary and strategic advice to a broad audience. So, whether in print or on screen, I frequently share knowledge that empowers leaders and organisations to navigate and succeed in an ever-evolving landscape.
