International team offsite — Being Our Authentic Selves: a facilitated performance-marketing offsite exploring authenticity and team experience.
King’s Performance Marketing team commissioned a bespoke ‘Being Our Authentic Selves’ offsite in Sitges in September 2023. Jarell worked with L&D lead Will Rattigan to tailor the content to an international team, on a rapid preparation timeline. The commission included a bespoke outline, learning resources and a facilitated session. The client thanked Jarell after delivery for his responsiveness and preparation. The programme demonstrates rapid, context-specific facilitation rather than a standard off-the-shelf workshop.
Havas UK
Workplace learning — Let's Talk About! virtual employee session, with a further distinct engagement recorded in the founder's archive.
Havas commissioned the ‘Let’s Talk About!’ virtual employee learning session in June 2023. The work was designed around cultural consciousness and workplace conversations. A signed agreement and founder’s post-session correspondence support the delivery record. A separate Havas engagement is recorded in the archive, with its precise scope still being reconstructed.
Alstom UK & Ireland
Leadership dialogue and speaking — Centre Stage 'I am the Voices' intersectionality panel; post-event recommendations from organisational contacts.
For Alstom UK & Ireland, Jarell joined the July 2024 Centre Stage ‘I am the Voices’ discussion on mental health, intersecting identities, cultural taboos, microcultures and allyship. He prepared a tailored attendee guide with reflection prompts and practical strategies, coordinated with organisers and participated in the live discussion. Organisational contacts Chris James and Simran Sandhu subsequently provided recommendations.
Henley Business School
Leadership, coaching and learning — Distinct retreat facilitation, coaching programme and LGBTQ+ positive-action masterclass experience.
Henley commissioned distinct leadership development experiences, including a multi-day retreat and associated coaching programme in spring 2025. The coaching programme comprised 18 sessions, with adjustments informed by participant feedback and practical tools tailored to the brief. Institutional correspondence thanked Jarell for his care and contribution and acknowledged the usefulness of his report and recommendations. Henley also publicly lists Jarell as Visiting Faculty.
Budweiser Brewing Group
Employee networks and speaking — Understanding Intersectionality panel for the PROUD employee community, December 2024.
The PROUD LGBTQ+ employee community commissioned Jarell for its December 2024 ‘Understanding Intersectionality’ panel. The brief involved panellist preparation and tailored participant resources: The Phoenix Rising Workbook, The Lantern of Wisdom Guide and The Intersectional Mosaic Handbook. Organiser Olivia White thanked Jarell after the event for his contribution. A fellow panellist also published an independent positive review.
Dods / FDA
Professional development and wellbeing — Burnout-focused conference learning session with a documented organisational recommendation.
Dods engaged Jarell to deliver a burnout-focused professional learning session in 2024. The engagement combined psychologically informed insight with practical professional reflection. Organiser Eva Banks subsequently recommended his work. Further Dods correspondence and later AI/public-sector event invitations form part of an ongoing professional relationship, but are not counted as the same commission.
Kingston University
Resilience education — Empowerment and resilience workshop for nursing students, December 2023.
Kingston University commissioned an empowerment and resilience workshop for nursing students, delivered on 1 December 2023. The session focused on helping emerging healthcare professionals reflect on resilience and agency in demanding environments. The original commission and invoicing record substantiate the session. Later proposed workshops were not delivered after commercial terms were declined.
Eastlight Community Homes
Workplace culture — Cultural consciousness lunch-and-learn confirmed by the client.
Eastlight Community Homes hosted a cultural consciousness lunch-and-learn in October 2023. Client contact Hugo Drummond explicitly confirmed the session had taken place. The work brought culturally conscious reflection into a workplace learning format. A favourable evaluation summary was shared historically; no numerical satisfaction or impact claims are used here without the underlying evaluation.
Hallgarten & Novum Wines
Mental wellbeing and inclusion — Workshop on cultural consciousness, diversity and mental health, with original client feedback.
Hallgarten & Novum Wines commissioned ‘Building Cultural Consciousness and D&I in Mental Health’ in September 2023. The workshop connected diversity, cultural awareness and mental wellbeing to workplace experience. Contemporary correspondence and original client feedback confirm delivery and provide qualitative evidence of its reception.
Compass Pathways
Inclusive wellbeing — Race Equality Week workshop preparation and founder-documented delivery narrative; independent host completion record still being reconciled.
Compass Pathways engaged Jarell in planning ‘Cultivating Inclusive Wellbeing’ for Race Equality Week in February 2024. The workshop design incorporated culturally conscious scenarios, facilitated reflection and practical learning resources. The founder’s case narrative reports delivery; the independent post-event host record remains to be located.
Henley Business School — positive-action masterclass
LGBTQ+ positive-action masterclass — A separately commissioned Henley learning session in July 2025, drawing on Jarell Bempong’s culturally conscious facilitation and leadership experience.
Henley separately commissioned a July 2025 LGBTQ+ positive-action masterclass. The founder delivered the learning session on 16 July 2025, with pre-event programme coordination and post-event invoicing correspondence preserved. This is distinct from the spring retreat and coaching programme, demonstrating a further form of university-based learning and facilitation.
