Lena Thompson is a transformative keynote speaker, mentor, and award-winning entrepreneur with over two decades of experience that spans both the corporate and personal development worlds. Her unique journey, from a successful career in IT consulting to becoming a globally recognised expert in human behaviour and the future of work, has made her a sought-after speaker on the international stage. Combining her extensive corporate background with deep insights into emotional and mental resilience, Lena empowers individuals and organisations to unlock their full potential and create purpose-driven cultures.
Lena’s early career was marked by her role as a QA/Developer for AFA Systems and her subsequent positions as a Systems Developer for SourceCode Technology Holdings and a Workflow/SharePoint Developer for Rackspace Hosting. She spent 15 years consulting for some of the world’s most renowned companies, including Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, and Anglo Irish Bank. Despite her success in the corporate IT sector, Lena felt an increasing sense of unfulfillment. This led her to embark on a journey of self-discovery in 2018, where she studied human behaviour, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and metaphysics—fields that would eventually redefine her career and life purpose.
Today, Lena is the Future of Work & Human Design Consultant for Lena Thompson International and a highly regarded keynote speaker. She travels the world sharing her expertise on purpose, personal development, productivity, and employee engagement. Her work as a co-author of You Can Have It All and her role as Executive Director at Nature’s Frequencies, where she worked with cutting-edge technology to help individuals raise their energy levels and reduce stress, highlight her commitment to helping others achieve professional and personal success. Lena’s specific keynotes, "The New Age of Productivity" and "The New Age of Reality," have resonated with audiences at prestigious events such as HRTech in Copenhagen, Future of Work in Singapore, and the World Diversity in Leadership Conference in Calgary.
Hiring Lena Thompson for your next event means bringing on board a speaker who not only understands the intricacies of the corporate world but also possesses the rare ability to integrate these insights with personal development and human potential. Lena’s innovative approach, which includes her Magnetic Speaker and Human Design programmes, has been transformative for countless professionals and organisations.
