Pam Bateson

Thrive Partners

Pam Bateson has spent more than twenty-five years helping founders, executive teams and global organisations build stronger leaders, healthier cultures and higher-performing businesses.

She founded Thrive after recognising that most leadership development teaches people what to do but rarely changes how they think or lead. Today, Thrive combines executive coaching, leadership development and technology to help organisations create cultures where people perform at their best.

Trusted by organisations including Sky, DHL, PepsiCo, GE Aerospace, Boots, HM Treasury, Virgin, Merlin Entertainments, Boden and Keyloop, Thrive has supported thousands of leaders through coaching, mentoring and leadership development, delivered through a global network of more than 350 accredited coaches.

Pam is also the host of the Leading with Impact podcast, where she sits down with exceptional leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers to uncover the conversations behind extraordinary performance.

At Ideas Fest, she'll do exactly the same—asking the questions that reveal the leadership lessons most founders never share from a keynote stage.
