Confident Conversations

Discover how Helen Bennett inspires our future generation of leaders by bringing together deserving teenagers and business leaders in Bennett's Business Bash. Helen is the founder of Human Reality, a training & human resources consultancy. When Helen got involved with a local school to conduct mock interviews, she realised that for some, their lack of confidence could be attributed to a lack of social skills and aspiration. Determined to change this, Helen organised the first Bennett's Business Bash for a small group of disadvantaged teenagers to sit down for dinner with senior business and organisational leaders in a first class venue. In this show Helen shares the challenges, the lessons, and insights gained. How one teenager banged on the door to be let in. When she realised she needed to do a crash course in handshaking. What nearly caused a riot. Why one teenager said "it's the first time I've been made to feel really special" Mentioned on the show and other useful links Human Reality website Huma
