Amale Ghalbouni's biography

At a glance

  • Transformation strategist and leadership expert with 20+ years experience
  • Author of Experimental, a playbook for change-fatigued organisations
  • Founder of The Brick Coach change consultancy working with global brands
Amale Ghalbouni helps leaders in complex organisations turn change-fatigued, risk-averse teams into ones that can experiment, adapt and move forward with confidence. A former executive strategy director with nearly two decades of experience working with FTSE 100 companies, Amale is the founder of The Brick Coach and the author of Experimental, a practical guide for leaders trying to build change-ready teams. She has delivered keynotes and workshops for organisations including Microsoft, Visa, UBS, Levi's, and the BBC, and has spoken on TEDx stages and at global leadership events. Amale's work is built on a straightforward premise: people don't stall because they lack motivation. They stall because the environment around them makes change feel unsafe. Drawing on her frameworks, the Experimental Culture Toolkit, and the Experimental Change Method, she helps leaders reshape that environment so their teams can take action before certainty arrives. Audiences who attend Amale's sessions leave with a clear understanding of why their teams are hesitating, a practical method for shaping change that can survive contact with a risk-averse organisation, and specific steps they can take that week to rebuild trust, focus, and momentum inside their teams. Book Amale when you need your leaders to leave the room ready to act, not just inspired to think about it.

Topics, sessions and talks

Experimental Culture: How To Move Change-Fatigued Teams
Disruption and uncertainty are no longer temporary conditions. For many teams, they have become the operating environment. Amale Ghalbouni uses this keynote to introduce the Big Freeze: the pattern of delayed decisions, cautious behaviour, and eroding energy that appears when pressure builds and the environment no longer feels safe. She then walks leaders through how to build the five conditions of an Experimental Culture — connection, clarity, curiosity, courage, and celebration — so that teams can move into what she calls Free Flow. Leaders leave with a clear diagnosis of what is driving hesitation in their own teams, and a set of practical moves they can apply immediately to shift the dynamic.
Experimental Change: The Science Of Building Change-Ready Teams
Most change programmes do not fail because the strategy is wrong; they fail because the change was never shaped for the real people, pressures, and habits it has to move through. In this keynote, Amale Ghalbouni introduces the Experimental Change Method, a practical framework for turning complex, ambiguous change into something teams can understand, support, and act on. She addresses the specific moments when resistance, self-doubt, and old habits pull people backwards, and shows leaders how to size and sequence change so it survives contact with organisational reality. Audiences leave knowing how to move a team from endless planning into practical, recoverable action.
Leadership And Team Experiences: The Experimental Culture Sessions
Amale Ghalbouni's suite of experiential sessions is designed to develop each of the five conditions her research identifies as essential for a high-performing, change-ready team: connection, clarity, curiosity, courage, and celebration. Each session is hands-on and deliberately practical, using props, physical artefacts, and structured interaction to move participants out of their heads and into action. Available as standalone 90-minute boosters, half-day sprints, full-day offsites, or multi-session learning series, the experiences are tailored to the team's specific context and can be sequenced to support an ongoing change programme. Teams leave not just with fresh thinking, but with a shared language, stronger working relationships, and a set of behaviours they can carry back into their day-to-day.
