So lockdown 3.0 is here, and working from home continues to be the norm for many. But, it comes at a cost – and we don’t just mean financially, but physical and mental health too!

That’s why we’ve put together some of the best keynote motivational speakers who can offer engaging ‘working from home’ talks.

Some will simply inspire, others will make you chuckle and others will provide you with real ‘take away’ benefits to make your life easier and fun.
