Ben Russell from Empowerment-Ed

Ben Russell runs Empowerment-Ed, and his keynotes land on four things: healthy and respectful relationships, leadership capacity, self-improvement, and shifting the culture of an organisation. Schools and workplaces across Australia bring him in. His approach leans personal and experiential rather than slide-heavy, pairing research with what he's actually seen work, and the aim is honest reflection plus tools people can use on Monday. Formats run from short keynotes through half-day workshops to full facilitated days and PD masterclasses. He's a fully registered Queensland teacher, ACER wellbeing verified, and carries public liability and indemnity insurance. A microphone is the main requirement, with AV useful.
