MAKING CHANGE THAT LASTS

We can strengthen our willpower like a muscle, and learn to sustain our motivation for the long haul. In this keynote, you’ll learn the techniques how.

RELEASE YOUR POTENTIAL

What is potential, are we achieving it and how might we listen to turn confused messages of ambition into a plan for a more satisfying result. In this keynote we explore blocks to creativity and our unconscious scared-self and how to remove them to become more successful and fulfilled.

MAKING BETTER DECISIONS

Can we ever make truly rational and informed decisions? We all owe it to ourselves to know how our brains make decisions – and how we can learn to make better ones in our professional and personal lives.

AUTHENTIC PRESENTING AND THE ART OF STORY TELLING

Learn simple techniques to build and maintain an engaged, committed and high performing team environment.

DON'T SELL, JUST SERVE
