The Influence Leverage

This is a highly results-oriented keynote, which reveals how people can easily leverage on the pillars of influence to achieve powerful business and personal results. This is an essential skill, especially in today’s fast-moving business environment shaped by the realities of digital transformation and disruption.

The Opportunity of Change

An insightful keynote that empowers people to see themselves as effective agents of change. This is especially relevant as the speed and impact of organisational and societal change is rapidly increasing, and that overwhelms many people.

The audience is guided through a journey of re-discovery whereby they re-discover the strengths and inner resources they may have lost sight of and regain the confidence to overcome any change they face.

This keynote sets the stage for people to realise the business rationale for change and ignites them to be powerful drivers of change, both professionally and personally.

Leading for Change

The fast-changing business landscape demands leaders who can lead agile high performing teams. Leading for Change is a transformational keynote that empowers leaders in the psychology of change, and a practical roadmap to lead and sustain it.

This keynote sets the stage for people to be effective agents of change, providing them with the knowledge, tools using a blend of training and coaching, needed for them to lead change in their organisations.

Participants gain clarity on the business case for change; the confidence on how to help people see the value of it, thereby attaining commitment and progress. They will walk away with personalized action plans, on actual work scenarios that achieve their desired results.
