Al Kingsley MBE · Media

The work, on the record.

If you’re deciding whether to put me on your stage or around your board table, don’t take my word for any of it. Watch a session, read the articles, and see what it looks like when I’m holding a room.

Articles and columns

I write a regular column for Forbes as a member of the Forbes Technology Council, and over the years I’ve written for most of the UK education press. A selection below; the archive runs to about ninety pieces.

The rest lives in three places: my Forbes author page, the full publications archive at alkingsley.com, and my LinkedIn newsletter, Al’s Edu Recommends.

Podcasts

Some I host, most I turn up to. Either way, it’s long-form conversation, which is where the interesting answers live.

On stage

Proof it all actually happens. If you’re an organiser and need photography for a programme, a deck or socials, start with these, or ask for the full media pack.

High-resolution versions, headshots and a short bio, sized for programmes and socials.

And the books.

Nine and counting, from governance handbooks to The Awkward Questions in Education (Routledge, 2025). Most of what’s in the sessions above, I’ve also written down properly.
