Bio

Eloise Skinner is an entrepreneur, author and existential therapist. She is the founder of two businesses: One Typical Day (an ed-tech start-up), and The Purpose Workshop (a social impact consultancy).

Eloise Skinner first lived on a council estate in East London, and later studied Law at Cambridge University and trained at Oxford University Business School. Having practiced as a lawyer in the city, and after some soul-searching (including a year training to be a monk), Eloise followed her passion into existential psychotherapy. A published author, Eloise also teaches Pilates, yoga, meditation, massage and nutrition. She also has her own podcast, ‘About Wisdom’.

Eloise is passionate about spirituality, meaning, purpose, social impact and education. Above all, Eloise is driven by the idea of integration – the power of bringing together all aspects of work and life; to live fully, with intention, integrity and purpose.

Eloise Skinner is the author of The Purpose Handbook and The Junior Lawyers’ Handbook and is a dancer and fitness instructor with a significant social media following. Eloise has written for publications such as Entrepreneur, Business Insider, Management Today and Harvard University, and has been featured in publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian and The Express.

Eloise also sits on the youth board of the UK's national social mobility charity, Career Ready, and is an enterprise advisor for the Mayor of London.
