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.
