From a childhood in a developing country to adulthood in England, mastering diversity has been a way of life. She also had to fight her way back from illness and burnout as a working mother, as a result of holding down two jobs. Her journey, filled with challenges and triumphs, has shaped her into a passionate advocate for personal and professional growth. Her TEDx Talk delves into how embracing wellbeing transformed her life and career.

In 2018, she published the bestselling book, Octopus On a Treadmill: Women, Success, Health, and Happiness which documents her journey as a working mother. It teaches readers how to right food can make you feel great, how exercise can improve all aspects of life, how to stabilise emotional webbing, when to make space for spirituality, and how to manage your time.

She has also frequently contributed to Business Woman, The Daily Express, Daily Mirror, Metro, Daily Mail, The Sun, Good Morning Britain, and Entertainment Daily.

Testimonials

This is the second time we have had Gifty in our business. Our first experience was International Women’s Day with the real focus being Equity. We bought Gifty back in June of the same year to present at one of our partner events. Gifty is an extremely talented and knowledgeable well-being workplace expert and I have no doubt we will call on her expertise in the future.
Jade Whymark, TD Synnex

Wow, what a lasting impression you have left GKN Women’s network and the few guys that also attended!.
Charlene Coleman, GKN Aerospace

Thank you so much for an amazing event last week. We had a very strong turn out! You have definitely inspired our employees to either join our ERG or ask questions as to how they can support an ERG. We were also really encouraged with the engagement at the end. As you know, we were prepared to ask questions in case of silence but we didn’t have to resort to it – all questions came organically from the audience! We will continue this year to discuss mental health and wellness in the workplace and putting a spotlight on issues that need to be addressed….and ask people to DANCE. We will certainly remember you in the future for any engagements Brinks has planned.
Emily Rankin, Brinks Inc, United States

We were delighted when Gifty agreed to share her thoughts and experiences with fellow ACCA members at our International Women’s Day event. She was open, warm and engaging and happy to share her experiences, thoughts and suggestions with attendees both during the Q&A and book signing sessions. Gifty was professional, paid great attention to detail & was a pleasure to work with.
Astrid Lovelace. Women’s Network Engagement Manager. ACCA

[Of Octopus on a Treadmill] Every working mother needs to read this book, if for nothing else, to know that you are not alone and to have a good laugh, as it is hilarious in parts. I wish I’d had this book when I was starting out – it is a celebration of all women. Gifty Enright’s wonderful book encapsulates the timeless truth that what a woman puts into her body, mind and spirit can either weigh her down, or buoy her up to live a better, stronger, healthier and happier life. Gifty has gently woven science, wisdom, humour, experiences from her life and the lessons from different cultures; creating a book that is easy to read, practical and an eye-opening reminder of how and why we need to live a better life.
