Initiated by ITV Creative Diversity Partners, Nahrein Kemp and Sam Tatlow MBE in 2023 for Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse leaders, Amplify ran for 10 months with design and facilitation by myself as coach and leadership specialist.

As one of ITV’s targeted initiatives to address retention and promote talent progression, Amplify’s aim is to improve diverse representation at senior level across the business. The programme worked with aspiring leaders from across ITV including commissioning, production, news, commercial, marketing, technology and streaming, matching each participant with a Sponsor from the Management Board as well as become a Sponsor themselves to a new entrant joining ITV.

11 brilliant individuals received bespoke coaching sessions, action learning training, leadership theory and took part in panel discussions with top industry speakers.
