Special Requests

Chairing, hosting, focus-grouping, small group coaching. We’re here for you.

Need a chat show host? Jessica’s you’re woman (seriously). Here’s a small flavour of the ‘special requests’ we’ve been pleased to accept in recent years. If it’s about accelerating women’s careers and you’ve got a budget, or a compelling proposal, please be in touch.

The Female Lead Report launch

Speaker and contributor

The Female Lead empowers women through stories and science and has 8.7 million followers across social media.

They dispel gender myths through research and data, sharing the stories of successful and inspirational women.

When founder, Edwina Dunn (the brilliant bright mind who invented the Tesco Clubcard) asked Jessica to be involved in the write-up and launch of their From Labour Ward to Labour Force research she said yes.

A global survey of 8,000 mothers revealed the difficult truth of returning to work after having a baby. Jessica produced content for the employer toolkit, press release and sat on the launch panel at Edelman (where she met MD Francesca Woodhouse, our fantastic guest on episode 101 of COMEBACK COACH).

PR agencies seeking spokesperson

Psychologist for PR campaigns

Jessica’s an engaging mouthpiece for research-led consumer brand campaigns on radio and with print journalists. She’ll discuss the research from a psychology perspective, bringing findings and products to life. From Nivea and Post-it notes, to Olay and skincare supplements.
Chairing Panels at Linklaters, Jupiter Asset Management, RBS & More

Putting panellists at ease, curating engaging and enlightening conversations.

Jessica frequently Chairs panel events, providing support and guidance on people and question selection, preparing panellists, and helping them shine on the day. She’s hosted and chaired at Jupiter Asset Management, Federated Hermes, AXA XL and RBS to name a few. The bright minds pictured here are Parents & Carer/Family network leads who formed a panel at Linklaters to share best practices.

“Top-class panel chairing Jessica Chivers! You did a brilliant job at drawing our key insights and giving everybody their moment to share their experiences. We absolutely loved having you as part of this event.”

Fatherhood focus group at ITV

Designing and facilitating a session to flush out the challenges dads face

Longstanding client ITV knows we love their “we were wondering if….” ideas. This was a focus group we ran to flush out what’s happening with dads and taking shared parental leave.
You might have a group of employees whose needs you want to understand better by hearing their experiences spoken aloud. Or perhaps you’ve noted their needs and now want a positive presence to facilitate problem-solving and peer-to-peer exchange.

Bespoke career talk for TwentyFour

Interactive talk and panel Chair

“One of the team heard you talk at Jupiter Asset Management and we would love you to speak about careers and AI at an annual event we host for future leaders,” came the request. When we listened carefully to what the team wanted to achieve from the gathering we put a plan together for an interactive, psychology-based talk followed by a panel showcasing the career decisions of three young, talented members of the TwentyFour team. We also played golf…

“Jessica was a brilliant speaker who immediately put everyone at ease and encouraged a shy audience to actively engage. Her enthusiasm was infectious and created a positive and inspiring atmosphere that energised the whole room. Her insights were both thought-provoking and practical, leaving attendees with valuable takeaways for their future careers.”
