Speaker: Jon Betts

Speaker: Alan Branagh
Alan from Alchemists Forum works with founders, CEOs, MDs and leadership teams who are carrying real responsibility and facing high-pressure decisions, helping them step out of the day-to-day noise to think clearly and act with deliberate confidence. His central philosophy - Clarity, Decision, Action - centres on a simple but powerful idea: that visible business outcomes like growth, hiring, and performance are always downstream of the quality of thinking that precedes them.
