Welcome to Real Humankind!

About Us

Rebecca Holder is a writer, founder, and former senior corporate operator. Twenty-five years across the BBC, Accenture, Barclays and BP. Now writing the Substack Whose Story Is It Anyway? and working with senior professionals on AI, identity, and what comes next when the old career playbook stops working

The BBC Years

First job on Absolutely Fabulous. Stayed in British media for the next decade, working across some of the biggest programmes the BBC ever made. Helped build BBC iPlayer. 

The Consultancy Years

Joined Accenture. Spent years embedded in enterprise change programmes at the Including the launch of Barclays Faster Payments  BP, and others

Rewriting the script

Reversed two chronic conditions doctors had described as lifelong. Hashimoto's and infertility through my own structured personal protocols involving script re-wrting, supplements and living from the end result. 

The Mum years

Three kids. The work continued. Books were drafted in the spaces between. The long lesson of holding a senior career and a family at the same time, which most professional women will recognise.

Real Humankind

Founded in 2024 as the home for the writing, the advisory work, and the frameworks. Built the umbrella for everything that had been emerging for years. A space to make sense of two decades of pattern recognition and to start saying things out loud.

AI & Beyond

Pivoted to AI and went deep in up skilling. Started building MVPs on weekends, prototyping apps, testing what was actually possible with the new tools. 

Launched the Substack Whose Story Is It Anyway? and The AI Authorship Field Guide. 

Began advisory work with senior leaders on the human side of AI integration. 

WHO WE ARE

Real Humankind is a strategic advisory and transformation house with a creative studios arm. We work with senior leaders, founders, and organisations at major decision points.


The advisory wing applies twenty-five years of programme delivery experience inside Accenture, the BBC, Barclays, BP and SAB Miller to the strategic challenges senior leaders face today. The current focus is the human side of AI integration: helping organisations deploy AI well, helping leadership teams navigate the cultural and strategic implications, and helping senior individuals reinvent their work for a context where the rules are changing fast.


The creative studios arm develops original methodology, books, podcasts, television formats, and cohort programmes. Real Humankind Studios is in early-stage development with broadcasters on two original television formats. Real Humankind Press is preparing the first book, Rewrite Your Life, for publication in 2026. The Substack Whose Story Is It Anyway? publishes weekly under the imprint of Real Humankind.


The long-term ambition is a thought-leadership platform at the intersection of business, technology, and the human story.
