I believe that we cannot solve real social issues with broken systems and outdated approaches.
This belief drives my mission to inspire and equip others to embrace new ways of thinking and working to unlock meaningful, sustainable change.
I’m Ndidi Okezie OBE—a systems thinker, inspiring speaker, and passionate advocate for
transformative change. With over 20 years of senior leadership experience across education, corporate learning, and youth development—including roles at Teach First, Pearson, and UK Youth—I have dedicated my career to tackling complexity and creating
systemic solutions that deliver lasting impact.
I am deeply passionate about helping individuals and organisations connect their actions to meaningful outcomes, unlock their potential, and harness the power of systems thinking to navigate challenges. I have spoken to a wide range of audiences, from intimate groups to conferences of over 7,000 people, sharing insights that inspire
dialogue and action. My expertise has been featured on national platforms, including LBC, Newsnight, and the Today Show, as well as in publications such as The Guardian, Third Sector, and Children & Young People Now. Through my signature framework,
Think Big, Focus Deep, Learn Loud, I equip audiences with the tools to think differently, act boldly, and create scalable change. Let’s create impact together.
Crack the System is a podcast that brings together leaders from education, business, philanthropy, policy, and youth to spark the conversations that matter. With each host bringing their expertise from diverse fields, the show dives deep into today’s most pressing issues
