Showing the world the value of enthusiasm

and encouraging you to be more unapologetically, unabashedly yourself

THE ENTHUSIAST & CO IS FOR EVERYONE WHO’S BEEN TOLD…

Whether you’re enthusiastic about something in particular or you’ve just got a general spring in your step, enthusiasm is something powerful, and something we should hold on to.

We should be unabashedly, unashamedly proud of loving something with all of our heart, all of our head, or both — now, more than ever.

It's time to show off your passion, your joie de vivre, what lights that spark inside of you (and in doing so, maybe even encourage others to do the same too.)

The Enthusiast & Co supports you in doing just that, via friendly Substack posts and inspiring public speaking appearances.

(The & Co part is you, by the way — because The Enthusiast is a one woman band.)

Specifically me, Ellie Kime: enthusiasm expert, lifelong lover of things and Millennial/Gen Z — depending on who you ask — sick of hearing the word snowflake.

What began as a hand-embroidered t-shirt for a branding photoshoot quickly became something that resonated with thousands of people across the world, and was featured in The Evening Standard, Huffington Post, Stylist’s newsletter, and more.

I did my MA on the representation of fangirls in the media, and have presented on stage in front of 600+ people, talking about why enthusiasm is an asset and how to use it (and teaching them the game of Yellow Car No Return).

Interested in an enthusiasm expert?

I love talking all things enthusiasm in both corporate and community settings. If you’re looking for an engaging, inspiring speaker with experience hosting and presenting, then I’d love to chat!

Let's chat keynotes, panels and activations

“Ellie spoke at my event, ConfidenceLive and she was TRULY AWESOME. An amazing speaker, who had the audience hooked on every word. I would not hesitate to work with her again - if you're looking for someone to bring knowledge, humour and warmth to your event - book Ellie.” - Kirsty Hulse, founder of Roar Training

“With the various hats that Ellie wears, we thought she would be incredible talking about her experiences and she didn’t let us down. She was very real, personable and, most of all, enthusiastic about all the things she does. Her positivity and energy and ability to live life on her own terms, were hugely inspiring to our audience. She was a joy to work with throughout and I wouldn’t hesitate to invite her to speak a future event.” - Martha Brook, founder of Martha Brook
