THE LEAD TRAINER
Jon Briggs
For more than forty years, Jon Briggs has made his living through communication. As a broadcaster with the BBC and ITN, an international conference moderator, keynote speaker and one of the UK’s best-known voice artists, he has spent his career understanding what makes audiences listen, engage and remember.
As the original UK voice of Siri, he has also witnessed the rise of artificial intelligence from the very beginning, giving him a unique perspective on where technology can help communicators and where the irreplaceable human connection still matters most.
Along the way he has hosted more than 400 international conferences, interviewed world leaders and business icons, and coached senior executives to communicate with greater clarity, confidence and impact.

Ali Rusted
Ali spent 20 years at the BBC making programmes designed to connect with a variety of audiences. She also launched two digital radio stations, BBC 4 Extra and 5 Live Sports Extra, and was fortunate enough to work with some of the best presenters and reporters in the country — witnessing at first-hand the art of communication.
After leaving the BBC, Ali became a presentation skills coach and works across business, sport and media industries. She is convinced that great communication skills lie at the heart of successful business relationships and uses every bit of her knowledge, experience, and insight to help people maximise their potential to connect effectively.
