ABOUT STEVE HERBERT

Despite a face for radio and a voice for the silent movies, Steve Herbert remains one of the best-known keynote speakers and industry commentators on a wide range of UK employment and business issues. A noted industry personality, Steve is an award-winner and a regular and sought-after speaker at events, with a unique and engaging delivery style that aims to demystify and explain complex issues to his audience. This same approach is reflected in both his written work and regular commentary for many HR and industry-facing publications. His topic areas include (but are certainly not limited to) employee wellbeing, the economic outlook, productivity, employee benefits, human resources (HR), employee engagement, and presentation skills. Steve is noted for his “fun and informative” presentation style at workshops, webinars, and seminars. His 40 years at the sharp-end of the employee benefits industry has resulted in thousands of professional contacts including Human Resources (HR) experts, Finance Directors, C-suite professionals, journalists, lawyers, policy makers, trade bodies, and thought leaders across a range of associated topics. Testimonials from all the above groupings (and many others) are publicly available via the “recommendations\" section of his LinkedIn profile. His speaking career has resulted in gigs in some of the most interesting and unusual venues available right across the United Kingdom. He has shared a platform with government ministers, four well-known professional comedians, a boxing world champion, professional magicians, the first British man to lift the football European Cup, TV and radio hosts, Olympic and world athletics medallists, adventurers, a Desert Island Discs castaway and many other very notable and hugely engaging speakers on a vast array of topics. In April 2024 Steve established his own consultancy offering a unique “webinars that work” service for any organisation seeking to reach a client audience at scale and low cost, presentation skills coaching for experts and novices alike, HR thought leadership, and highly informed and researched content creation. One client testimonial simply concludes; “Top speaker, top expert, top advice.”
