Daniel Bedingfield
“Picking the right charity to give to is difficult. I need to know that my money will be spent wisely. I need to know that it will be used to help the children I’m giving to and not get lost in red tape. I trust the vision and ethos of Global Angels. I believe in their efficiency and their ability to make things happen.”
Daniel is a well known in the music industry as an international artist. He is also known for motivating people to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering and wants to empower disadvantaged children and youth. He is an outspoken leader in the anti-trafficking campaign, Stop The Traffik, which is working to abolish the modern slave trade and to rescue victims of slavery, focusing on women and children. Being involved in the launch concerts for Global Angels in the UK and US have been highlights. His recent trips to check out our work in Mozambique and Kenya were very successful in helping us establish that the funds we had sent over had been used well and that the projects were outstanding. We were then able to release the next phase of funding.
Jo Salter
“It is a pleasure to be part of such an amazing vision. As a mother of two, I have a passion for children and their health, safety and happiness.”
Jo was Britain’s first female fast jet pilot, flying the Tornado GR1. As a combat ready pilot with 617 Squadron, the Dambusters, she experienced operational tours of duty and took part in large international NATO exercises around the world. She worked in intelligence and is a fast jet instructor.
As an inspirational speaker, her tales from such an elite world offer alternative insights into personal development, meeting challenges and succeeding in the face of adversity.
Jo’s military experience is multifaceted: technical; professional; managerial; political. Add 9 years of e-commerce experience and management consultancy in both the public and private sector, an MBA, Associate Lectureship with the Open University Business School and flying air cadets as a volunteer pilot for the RAF at weekends – and no wonder she is so successful in combining management and leadership theory with her unique practical experiences to present a humorous, inspiring and moving range of speeches.
She is also the author of two books: Energize (Hamlyn) and Energy – 52 Ways to fire up your life and become an Energy Angel.
