Emerging talent: Success stories of hiring students and apprentices

How small businesses can attract and hire emerging talent, particularly students and apprentices.

<h1>Hi. I&apos;m Bev Hepting</h1>
An award-winning, International, TEDx speaker, and coach.
I have always been a chatterbox.   So much so that many people said I could speak for England and win a gold medal.
However, as I got older I realised that I was opening my mouth and words would come out, but they had no meaning to the people I was talking too.   I did not really know what it was I wanted to say.
It was then I realised that talking was just the stuff that came out of my mouth when the brain had disengaged.
I needed to speak.  I needed to learn how to craft what I wanted to say so that people heard me and acted on the information I gave them.
<h2>Once I had figured that out, everything changed. I started winning competitions. I started building a bigger business and I learned that I could change the way I spoke to get new clients and speaking gigs.</h2>
And the trick is really easy.  It is about not being too clever.  It is about having the confidence to just say what it is.
From my background in Theatre, Teaching voice and speech to adults, winning speech competitions, and speaking at a variety of events, along with my experience of working with community leaders, project management and helping fundraisers get the message right to attract sponsors, I learned that business relies on getting a clear message to the customer or client you work with.  I also learned that many people just did not know how to do that.
<h1>That&apos;s when The Message Maestro was born.</h1>
I started talking to people about what it was they really wanted to say to people.  When networking I realised people would give a great job title and job description, but I still didn’t know what they did.  The problem we have is that we all want people to think we are really clever.  So our message gets complicated and we forget that our potential clients or customers do not understand the language we use in our own industry.
I started working with business owners who suddenly found a great way to talk about their business.  It resonated with their future clients and customers and suddenly they were not afraid to get up and talk in public to groups of people.
It suddenly became fun to talk about their business.
<h2>And me!</h2>
I continue speaking to groups.  They have became bigger as my business has grown.  People now pay me to speak and I speak on the international stage.   My story telling skills enabled me to do a TedX and I continue to build my speaking business as well as coaching more business owners how to speak to grow their business.

Hi, I’m Bontle! As an ex-McKinsey, triple certified coach, speaker, and AuDHD writer, I help leaders future-proof their organisations with bespoke transformation implementations powered by disruptive neurodivergent thinking. I’ve been in the thick of billion-dollar megamergers, rebuilt national education systems during crises, and, yes, even managed to steer digital transformations without succumbing to death by buzzwords. My journey has included +20 global transformations, helping dozens of SMEs on two continents, and coaching leaders from charities, telcos, startups, banks, construction sites, and the wellness world. The last +15 years have taught me that real transformation is messy, unpredictable, and, above all, about people.
I’m all about cutting through the corporate jargon to deliver solutions that actually work. I help leaders tackle the chaos of change by creating strategies that are as pragmatic as they are disruptive. My approach?
<ul>
<li>I solve problems for FREE! You can pick my brain all you want. You only pay for my help to implement or execute. The real value is always in the doing.</li>
<li>No copy-paste solutions. Each transformation is built for your specific context, your challenges, and your team</li>
<li>Focus on innovation-on-a-budget that delivers operational improvements using digital and AI tools and practices that won&apos;t wipe up your cash reserves.</li>
<li>Bring neurodivergent thinking to solve problems others miss</li>
</ul>
Whether it’s mapping out a digital transformation in simple terms, coaching leaders on how to leverage their neurodiversity, or calling out BS when the status quo just isn’t cutting it, I’m here to make sure change sticks in a way that empowers everyone.
One of my favourite things is working with startups at all stages of pre-unicorn growth. As an Enterprise Nation advisor, I offer tailored services for smaller businesses, from digital strategy roadmaps and agile transformation workshops to one-on-one coaching sessions and interim leadership roles. Whether you’re navigating the early stages of getting your first clients or need a fresh, disruptive approach to overcome persistent challenges, my goal is to help you turn chaos into clarity and unlock the full potential of your business.
My background:
<ul>
<li>Ex-McKinsey, ex-Deutsche Bank, ex-Virgin Media O2</li>
<li>AI startup co-founder</li>
<li>Certified professional, ADHD, and Agile coach</li>
<li>Transformation director (directly responsible for budgets of £1.5m - £6m with 3 - 160 employees)</li>
<li>Non-executive director</li>
<li>Professional speaker and expert facilitator</li>
</ul>
Let’s connect, challenge conventional thinking, and turn your big ideas into tangible, lasting impact.
My pronouns are she/her. My name is pronounced BOONT-laire SIN-neh.
