I’m a sought-after public speaker, with panels and keynotes at Disney, Apple, University of the Arts London, Adidas, and The Guardian under my belt.

I inspire audiences and teams to do more with less, be bolder and braver, and work with compassion, daring, and fun.

Whether it’s a large-scale event or an intimate workshop, I bring energy, practical insights, and a fresh perspective to every stage.

“Just wow! Brilliant. Even through Zoom the engagement from staff was evident.”

I talk about:

  • The Brand-Culture Gap: Why most organisations don't live their values… and what it's costing them
    Most organisations have a lovely values page that nobody reads, and bears no resemblance to the working culture. This talk explores why that gap opens up, what it actually costs you (in trust, in talent, in customers who can tell), and what closing it really takes.

  • How to Say Something Worth Listening To: On building organisations people actually believe in
    It’s pretty noisy out there and it can feel impossible to build an engaged community around you. This talk is about the difference between brand messaging and something people actually trust, and how to build an organisation that earns its customers instead of just hoping for them.

  • Bloody Good Period: From Facebook post to national culture change
    I started Bloody Good Period as a Facebook post and created a national movement that changed how periods are talked about and provided for. This talk is the honest version of how I did it: what I got wrong, what actually worked, and what it takes to build the kind of culture change that everyone wants to be a part of.

Why book me?

None of this is theoretical - I've actually done the real-life, high-stakes version of everything I talk about. With humour, compassion and clarity I’ll help your audience apply what I’ve learned to their most pressing pain points.

Three women are seated on stage, one holding a microphone and talking, with two others listening and smiling. The woman on the left is wearing black with a patterned drape, the woman in the middle is wearing a black top and bright green pants, and the woman on the right is wearing a mustard yellow outfit and glasses. There is a small dog partially visible on the bottom right. Bottled drinks are on a small table in front of them.

    What truly stood out was Gabby’s passion; it was more than evident from her enthusiasm, which kept the whole audience engaged during her presentation.”

  • Media Trust

    “I highly recommend Gabby Jahanshahi-Edlin as a keynote speaker. 

    Gabby delivered an impactful keynote speech at Media Trust’s ninth annual Women's Voices event held at Meta’s King’s Cross HQ in London on 5 March 2025. The event brought together over 100 media and creative volunteers with 15 women and girls charities to mark International Women’s Day.

    Gabby skilfully shared her personal journey as the founder of Bloody Good Period while also providing practical and impactful insights on creating campaigns that work. Gabby’s engaging and authentic delivery captivated an audience filled with creative professionals. She connected with attendees on a personal level, leaving a lasting impression. Her keynote not only inspired action but also reinforced Media Trust's Women’s Voices mission to empower charities and champion strategic communications as a way to tackle inequality and social injustice.”
