Claire Carr, who organised the Future of Business event, was delighted Maggie shared her insights at the conference: “Maggie is an expert in Emotional Intelligence (EI), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and their impact on business and careers,” Claire said. “Her ability to distil complex themes into actionable career development steps made her an ideal keynote speaker for the conference.”
Indeed, Maggie has a wealth of experience and is a passionate and informed communicator. For over 20 years, she has been inspiring individuals, business leaders, entrepreneurs for growth and for the last ten years has been CEO of Meres Consult. She is a Regional Director for the Athena Network in London, where she has been a partner for over seven years. Last year she released a book called The Key to Happiness, and she has also given a Tedx Talk on the subject she discussed with the students at the Future of Business conference:

The Future of Business conference offered prospective students the chance to experience a real-life conference setting, allowing them to design their own day by selecting from a range of engaging sessions. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate what makes Hull University Business School distinctive while helping students explore the various options available to them at university.
The day featured inspiring workshops on topics such as business and society, future career paths, storytelling with data, problem-solving and strategy, innovation, marketing and finance, global business, and driving social impact. These workshops were delivered by a mix of academics, business partners, alumni, and Entrepreneurs in Residence, providing a dynamic, engaging, and insightful experience for attendees.
