Hayley Mulenda

Hayley Mulenda is a survivor. After nearly taking her own life at the age of 18, Hayley realised how mental health issues are increasingly affecting millennials, and she was passionate about doing something about it. Hayley’s experience and insight make her a credible voice for diversity, inclusion, mental health, and well-being. Hayley’s story has graced some of the world’s biggest stages, from Wembley Arena to Oslo Spektrum. From helping leaders bridge the gap with millennials and Gen-Zs to creating a safe space and mentoring hundreds of young people from diverse and lower socioeconomic backgrounds, Hayley is really passionate about making a change. Hayley sits on the board of Wagamama and consults their CEO to help reach young people from more diverse backgrounds. Her unique skills have given her access to C-Suite executives and graduates from FTSE 100 and Fortune 50 companies, helping to provide strategies that help employees with wellbeing and inclusion. Some of her keynotes have impacted Microsoft’s HQ in Redmond, working with their senior leaders and speaking with the CEO & senior leaders of Unilever. Her clientele includes JP Morgan, Harrods, Clifford Chance, Google and The Cabinet Office. In addition to covering the private sector, she has been able to work with Government officials and The Commonwealth Secretariat to share her thoughts on social mobility and young people. Hayley specialises in delivering unforgettable and powerful keynotes, fireside chats, Q&As, workshops, and seminars. Her talks have been described as mesmerising, impactful and life-changing. Maya Angelou said it best, “you may not always remember what they say, but with Hayley’s talks, you will always remember how she made you feel. Hayley will leave you feeling inspired.” Hayley has worked with several recognisable brands, including Invisalign. She is the Author of “The ABCs to Student Success” – where Hayley interlinks the alphabet, psychology and life lessons to ensure that students are able to deal with different circumstances that will enhance their success, not just academically but in life as well.
