Lucy Cooke is a zoologist, author, and National Geographic explorer who transforms complex animal behaviours into powerful insights for organisations. Her expertise bridges the gap between natural science and business strategy, offering fresh perspectives on leadership and sustainability.
Lucy's credentials include a Master's in zoology from New College Oxford, where she studied under Richard Dawkins. She has authored four books, including the feminist paradigm-shifting bestseller Bitch: What does it mean to be female? and the New York Times bestseller "A Little Book of Sloth." As a BBC Wildlife Magazine columnist, she also writes the popular "Female of the Species" column.
Through her work, Lucy helps organisations understand leadership dynamics by drawing parallels between animal behaviour and workplace environments. Her research on pack mentalities provides actionable frameworks for team building, while her insights on sustainability offer businesses practical approaches to environmental challenges based on natural systems.
Audiences leave Lucy's presentations with concrete strategies for fostering inclusive leadership models, practical tools for implementing sustainable business practices, and a renewed perspective on gender dynamics in professional settings.
