Bruce Daisley's Biography

Bruce Daisley is a highly engaging, inspiring and charismatic keynote speaker and a best-selling author. He was the EMEA Vice President for Twitter, the organisation’s most senior employee outside the US, stepping down after eight years in 2020 to pursue his career as a consultant on workplace culture.

Bruce’s book “The Joy of Work” (Penguin Random House) – on improving workplace culture – was the bestselling business hardback of 2019 and came runner-up as CMI Management Book of the Year. It has been translated into 15 international editions and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review and the Washington Post.   In 2020, he published “Eat Sleep Work Repeat: 30 Hacks for Bringing Joy to Your Job” – based on his successful podcast. His original audio book on remote working ‘No Office Required’ was Audible’s pick of the month in February 2021.

In 2022, Penguin Books published his second book about the mistakes we make thinking about resilience: Fortitude: Unlocking the Secrets of Inner Strength. It was a Sunday Times Bestseller and named a Financial Times ‘best business book of the year’. This book is eye-opening on the shortcomings of talking about resilience and dives into groundbreaking research that explains how we can better develop and demonstrate this strength.

Bruce is an expert on the evolution of work – taking in remote working, workplace culture and nurturing innovation. He regularly appears on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Television talking about how our relationship with work is transforming, and how organisations can be ready for it.

In March 2023, Bruce was made a Honorary Visiting Professor at Bayes Business School of City University in London.

Bruce Daisley is one of our most highly-rated speakers, often winning praise for his entertaining, engaging style. Having had a front seat in the creation of both Twitter and YouTube he readily shares captivating stories of the challenges of creating – and policing – such rich and complex platforms.

A fascinating analysis of resilience - what it is, what is isn't and why, when we develop it together, it becomes something better and more important, fortitude. It seems that resilience is a team game. (About the book - 'Fortitude')
