Culture Camp Guernsey - 7th October 2026
One day. Big energy. Brilliant minds coming together. A day to make sure that inclusion stays in the conversation.
Culture Camp is coming to Guernsey.
After running successfully in the UK, the first ever Culture Camp Guernsey will take place at The Old Government House on Wednesday 7th October 2026 – and it will be the biggest celebration of workplace culture on the island.
This is the first one. It won’t be the last. Culture Camp Guernsey will be an annual fixture from here on in.
Who's it for?
People leaders. HR, L&D, DEI, ops, founders, managers, coaches, creatives and anyone who believes that culture is everyone’s responsibility.
What to expect
Expect energy, honesty and challenge in equal measure. You’ll leave camp with ideas and the fire to create workplaces people don’t want to escape from.
Our first Culture Camp in October 2025 explored topics from what it means to lead across generations, to supporting people through their toughest moments. Throughout the day we were reminded of how wellbeing fuels performance, and how culture can shift 1% at a time. Between sessions, we made space to connect, reflect, and recharge – with turmeric and ginger wellness shots, and plenty of conversation that carried long past the closing session.
What you'll get:
- A full day of inspiring talks and energising workshops.
- Big topics on all things leadership and culture
- An inclusive atmosphere of warmth, energy and optimism.
- Fresh thining and practical ideas that you can implement straight away.
Meet the speakers
Naomi Glover
Naomi Glover is an Applied Neuroscientist with a sharp focus on brain health at work – and she’s one of the speakers people couldn’t stop talking about at our last Culture Camp. Naomi’s session unpacks what the science actually says about how our brains function (and falter) under modern work conditions – including the bit most workplaces still don’t talk about: menopause. You’ll leave with practical, evidence-based shifts you can make for yourself and your team.
Lucy Carpenter
Lucy Carpenter is the Compassionate Employers Lead at Hospice UK, which means she spends her working life thinking about how organisations support their people through the hardest moments of their lives – bereavement, illness, caring for someone they love. Her session is about how leaders show up when it matters most, and why getting it right isn’t just kind – it’s one of the most powerful trust-building things a leader can do. If your team is made up of humans, this session is for you.
Chris Chamberlain
Chris Chamberlain is Operations Manager at Guernsey Mind, and his session is about the cost of culture. Chris will unpack the real price organisations pay when culture is left to chance – sick days, attrition, presenteeism, the quiet leak of people checking out before they hand in their notice. This session names what it actually costs to not take culture seriously, and what changes when you do.
Lucy Harvey
Lucy Harvey is COO at Stribe, the award-winning employee survey software. Her session is called “Heard. Filed. Forgotten. The feedback gap burning out HR and eroding trust.” We’re collecting feedback from our people – but most of us aren’t confident that anything actually changes as a result. This session names exactly where the feedback loop breaks. Lucy will share what leaders are saying is really going on, then hand over to the audience for the kind of conversation Culture Camp was built for.
Gemma Ellison
Gemma Ellison is the founder of Heart Leadership and Culture Camp, and she’ll close the day with a session on The Culture Habit – Heart Leadership’s signature methodology. This helps organisations build the everyday leadership habits that shape culture and performance, because culture isn’t built by strategy documents, it’s built by what leaders do in ordinary moments. Small habits, consistently practised, compound into something remarkable.
