About

Doug Manuel is a keynote speaker and performer who specializes in purpose-driven engagement, authentic collaboration, and fostering human connection. For over 30 years, he’s delivered dynamic in-person and virtual programs for Fortune 500 companies and top business schools worldwide. His impressive client list includes Harvard Business School, The World Economic Forum, LVMH, Google, Oprah, and many others.

Doug’s work is deeply influenced by the timeless wisdom of rural Africa, where he has traveled and lived for more than 25 years, pursuing his passion for West African music and culture. He’s also the creator of Do You Speak Djembe?, an award-nominated stage show recognized by the Chicago JEFF Awards.

With an eight-year background as a BBC documentary producer, Doug has recently returned to filmmaking to create a Netflix documentary titled Beats As One, exploring solutions to the global loneliness and isolation epidemic. His nonprofit, Lighting Up Lives, empowers partnerships with rural West African villages, inspiring grassroots action to solve local challenges.

Doug’s mission is simple: to connect people. Through his experiential keynote, Beats As One, he invites audiences to break barriers, build relationships, and tap into the power of shared experiences.
