KEYNOTE SPEAKER

I spend my time obsessing over two key themes that can change the way your team works together:

• Activating human agency in the workplace and

• Staying connected without being consumed

The future of work is about empowering the best people to use the best tools to solve customer problems, experiment, fail and learn fast. I can help your team realise this future and ship breakthrough products.

Problems are most effectively solved when people believe they have the opportunity to speak freely, engage honestly and contribute in a meaningful way to the direction of the business and the lives of their colleagues, clients and customers

I am an experienced entrepreneur who believes that a company culture focused on agency and mental health can drive positive change in the world. Cohesive teams produce elegant solutions to complex problems.

A compelling company culture attracts the best talent and lets them do their thing. Over more than 20 years as an entrepreneur and consultant I have learned that above all else, the right people, doing the right work, pointed in the right direction can overcome any problem and produce profitable results.

With multiple business exits, two best-selling business books and a lifetime of business experience I offer clear, actionable keynotes to create real change.
