Nahla Summers | Speaker Biography

Promoting kindness in workplace culture for mental health improvement
Guinness World Record for longest journey on a stand-up bike
Author of 'A Culture of Kindness' and 'The Accidental Adventurer'

Nahla Summers is a thought leader, Guinness World Record holder, social change researcher, and cultural change consultant. Nahla spent 15 years as a senior leader in leading management firms worldwide. Then, the world she knew fell apart, and the kindness of a stranger became a catalyst for picking herself back up. From here, she started to research the power of kindness what kindness was, and she discovered that all the values that are umbrellaed in kindness: Gratitude, Empathy, Integrity, Time, Trust, Connection, and Courage were, for the most part, missing from the organisations she had worked within. She soon discovered that this was the root cause of workplace mental health conversations. When we focus on kindness and the values within that, we can change the workplace culture.

Nahla also set up Sunshine People CIC to start a social conversation about kindness. The Prime Minister has awarded her a Point of Light for ‘transforming the concept of sponsorship’. After cycling 3000 miles across America and walking 500 miles from South to North England, she broke a World Record by travelling 5007 miles on a stand-up bike, asking people to show their support by simply doing an act of kindness for a stranger rather than sponsor money, raising nearly 250,000 acts of kindness to date. Every year, she takes on a new challenge and discovers something new about the power of kindness on people. These incredible stories from her challenges are woven in to demonstrate how anyone can build resilience in just a moment.

An established author, she has several books, including ‘A Culture of Kindness’, a powerful theory about how we can bring kindness into the workplace to be happier and improve employee well-being. Her theory removes stress and anxiety from workplaces, therefore allowing increased productivity and profitability. ‘The Accidental Adventurer’ shares her journey of completing her challenges.
