About

Regarded as one of the UK’s most prominent business mentors, Chelsey has mentored hundreds of businesses and individuals and worked on leading government mentoring projects. She founded National Mentoring Day in 2014 which was inaugurated in the Houses of Parliament and has grown it to be an internationally recognised day, with over 250,000 organisations around the world taking part annually.

The initiative is now celebrated worldwide supporting all forms of mentoring across all sectors and shining a spotlight on mentors and mentoring initiatives making a difference.

Lord David Young was the founding patron and championed the initiative which has received government recognition, worldwide press coverage and support from leading brands and corporate organisations.

The four pillars of National Mentoring Day are to connect, educate, support, and celebrate the impact of mentoring across enterprise, education and society.

Chelsey’s career includes over twenty years in media, television, communications, publishing, PR and marketing. As an international speaker, commentator and presenter, Chelsey campaigns tirelessly to showcase the transformational power of mentorship with the aim of empowering and encouraging more people to take up mentoring.

Known as the UK's No 1 Pitching expert, Chelsey has trained many high profile CEO’s, TV personalities and entrepreneurs around the world as a leading public speaking expert to successfully create and deliver the perfect pitch to investors, VC's, clients and the media.
