Human Connection Practitioner and founder of G'Ology
Subject of the BAFTA-winning documentary The Black Cop
Former Metropolitan Police leadership and inclusion programme designer

Gamal Turawa is a Human Connection Practitioner who helps organisations strengthen trust, belonging, and courageous communication through human-centred approaches to performance. After 25 years with the Metropolitan Police designing and delivering leadership and inclusion programmes, Gamal now advises organisations across sectors on building psychologically safe cultures. He is the subject of The Black Cop, a BAFTA-winning short film used internationally to support conversations on leadership and identity. Gamal's philosophy addresses a critical workplace challenge: creating environments where people feel safe enough to be honest, valued enough to contribute, and supported enough to perform at their best. His approach combines professional insight from policing with lived experience navigating his own identity and belonging across cultures, including growing up in foster care. This dual perspective helps leaders understand the human factors that influence trust and communication, moving beyond policy to practical culture change. Audiences gain frameworks for building psychological safety within their teams, practical tools for navigating difficult conversations about identity and belonging, and actionable strategies for creating cultures where people can contribute fully. Gamal translates complex human dynamics into accessible concepts leaders can implement immediately. Book Gamal to help your organisation move from talking about inclusion to creating environments where people genuinely feel they belong.

Gamal's Story

Gamal Turawa's eye-opening experience of being an ex-Metropolitan police officer was captured in the Bafta-winning short documentary, The Black Cop. Having faced extreme homophobia and racial profiling throughout his career, Gamal uses his story to take your team on an emotional exploration of identity through the lenses of race, religion, and sexual orientation. His journey is both profound and impactive. Gamal will deliver a thought provoking presentation based on his incredible journey that will cause delegates to reflect on what informs our identity and how our experiences and events shape our story. It has been described as a powerful testimony to the power of resilience and has given many hope.

His frameworks translate complex human dynamics into practical tools for building trust and belonging, particularly valuable for organisations determined to move beyond policy into genuine culture change.

Testimonials

Nestlé PTC Confectionery engaged with Gamal Turawa, 'G', to be the closing speaker following a month long communication and events plan focusing on inclusion & diversity. Having seen G speak at a Stonewall Conference the previous year, we were keen to engage with G and allow him to share his inspiring story and his radiating passion and enthusiasm with our team. G did not disappoint and received excellent feedback from the attendees, who were blown away by not only his story but the way he shared it – with humour, humility and vulnerability. Sometimes the power of storytelling can be the difference between engaging hearts and minds and in this case G really helped us on our journey to building awareness, as we progress on our path to creating a culture where our people feel that they belong. Thank you G!
