Book for an event


Belinda Parmar OBE is one of the world's leading authorities on empathy, technology and business performance. She teaches emotional intelligence as a discipline and argues that integrity, energy and wellbeing in a team start with the leader doing that work on themselves first.

A qualified barrister, OBE recipient and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Belinda’s Global Empathy Index – connecting empathy rankings directly to earnings, productivity and retention – is published in the Harvard Business Review.
