Isobel has helped thousands of professionals, in a wide range of sectors, develop the confidence to speak with impact and has also coached leaders in industry, trade, and politics, including the former UK Deputy Prime Minister and members of both cabinet and opposition.

With a PhD in Behavioural Economics, Dr. Myriam Hadnes describes herself as a Facilitation Evangelist – a practitioner obsessed with uncovering why some facilitated experiences spark curiosity while others send people scrolling.

Through her boutique agency Workshops.Work, Myriam and her team deliver over 200 workshops each year to help multinational organisations turn collaboration from a buzzword into a lived experience.

Myriam has hosted the ‘Workshops Work’ podcast for more than 300 episodes, publishing a new conversation with facilitation experts each week. During the pandemic, she founded the NeverDoneBefore Festival and community — an international online experiment where facilitators co-created and delivered hundreds of “never done before” workshops between 2020 and 2024.

As a long-distance runner and soon-to-be author of ‘Unprofessionalism’, Myriam believes the future of work isn’t about being more polished, but about daring to be more human.
