Gamal Turawa
Gamal Turawa helps organisations build cultures of belonging, dignity, and trust through G'Ology, his framework for how people meet and work together. A former Metropolitan Police officer, Gamal is the subject of the BAFTA-winning short film The Black Cop.
Gamal Turawa is an international speaker and facilitator who helps people, teams, and organisations become more aware of how they meet, communicate, and work with one another. He is the creator of G'Ology and the Five Bs.
His perspective comes from moving between very different worlds. Gamal grew up fostered within a white family in Kent, later lived with his biological family, spent time in Nigeria, and built a 26-year career in the Metropolitan Police Service. His story is the subject of The Black Cop, a BAFTA-winning short film now used internationally to open up conversations about identity and belonging.
G'Ology rests on three principles: curiosity over judgement, awareness over certainty, and dignity over identity. The Five Bs (Belonging, Before, Beside, Behind, and Never Belittle) give teams a simple lens on trust, psychological safety, conflict, difficult conversations, and the gap between intent and impact. Gamal uses storytelling, humour, and reflection in keynotes, and runs more participative masterclasses and sessions for leaders and teams.
Audiences leave more curious about experiences beyond their own, more aware of the assumptions they carry, and more confident engaging with discomfort and difference. Leaders also take back a practical question: what is it like to experience me as a leader?
Book Gamal for culture, inclusion, and leadership events that aim to change how people treat each other day to day.
Topics, sessions and talks
Gamal Turawa will discuss The 10 Essential Elements of Dignity, drawing from Dr Donna Hicks' research. He will explore the fundamental aspects that contribute to human dignity, emphasising their importance in personal and professional interactions. Attendees will gain insights into fostering respectful relationships, enhancing communication, and creating inclusive environments. By the end of the talk, participants will understand how to apply these essential elements to promote dignity in their everyday lives and workplaces.
Gamal Turawa's eye-opening experience of being an ex-Metropolitan Police officer was captured in the BAFTA-winning short documentary, The Black Cop. Having faced extreme homophobia and racial profiling throughout his career, Gamal uses his story to take your team on an emotional exploration of identity through the lenses of race, religion, and sexual orientation. His journey is both profound and impactful. Gamal will deliver a thought-provoking presentation based on his incredible journey that will cause delegates to reflect on what informs our identity and how our experiences and events shape our story. It has been described as a powerful testimony to the power of resilience and has given many hope.
Gamal Turawa's G'Ology work starts from a simple observation: people experience culture through people. Using the Five Bs (Belonging, Before, Beside, Behind, and Never Belittle), Gamal examines the everyday moments that shape trust, from the conversation avoided to the voice overlooked. The format is reflective and conversational, drawing on his own story and humour. Teams come away with a shared, practical language for belonging, a clearer view of intent and impact, and more confidence engaging with difference.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
