Dionne Reid is a creative strategist, speaker, heARTist and founder of KiD iN YOU, on a mission to make adulting more enjoyable and revolutionise the way people and organisations work using play, purpose, and emotional intelligence.

Her work sits at the intersection of art, psychology, and play, translating emotion into strategy and strategy into meaningful change. Whether she’s designing workshops for global brands or sparking conversations that shift how we think about work and life, Dionne builds spaces where people can feel, create, and lead differently. Tuning in to the important things that are felt but not always seen.

Raised in Peckham, Dionne learned early that play wasn’t a reward it was a lifeline. What began as a personal language of survival has evolved into her professional philosophy: that play is a super power

Whether on stage, in boardrooms, or behind the mic, Dionne has become the go-to voice for heart-led transformation inspiring global audiences to lead with empathy, create with intention, and bring humanity back to high performance.

Her voice cuts through the noise of corporate jargon to remind people of something simple yet radical:
We don’t need to choose between being brilliant and being human.
