Laura Chamberlain

Laura Chamberlain, PhD is an award-winning professor of marketing at the University of Warwick and the author of Brilliantly Bouncy. With 20 years of academic and industry experience, including contributions to Marketing Week, Laura has made it her mission to transform how we think about resilience.

Drawing on extensive research and her own personal journey, Laura challenges the traditional "grit your teeth and push through" narrative, replacing it with a framework that makes resilience positive, practical, and even enjoyable. Her approach is built on small, manageable actions that create lasting change and fit into real, sometimes messy lives.

Through her company, Think Talk Thrive, Laura works with individuals and organisations to build sustainable strength for everyday challenges and significant setbacks alike. Her philosophy is simple: you already have the capacity for resilience. You just need the right tools to access it.

Known by colleagues as Tigger-like in her boundless enthusiasm, Laura lives this ethos daily alongside her two young children, who remind her that true resilience comes from embracing the process rather than chasing perfection.
