Doug Manuel is an experiential keynote speaker on human connection in an age of disconnection. A BBC-trained filmmaker, he has worked with organisations including Harvard Business School, PwC, Google, LVMH and the World Economic Forum, and has shared the stage with Oprah Winfrey.
His From Me To We sessions, shaped by nearly 30 years in rural African communities (especially Abéné in Senegal), blend storytelling, rhythm and music to show what happens when people stop working in isolation and start listening, trusting and working as one. No musical experience needed.
I work at venues, conferences and offsites as well as at the client's workplace. For the keynote sessions, the duration is usually 30 to 60 minutes. Message me to know more.
