Feedback without Fear

Is your Organisation Fit for Purpose?

People make business succeed. Simple as that.

Discover your 10% differentiator

My primary focus is to assist leaders in identifying and utilising the small yet impactful qualities that make them stand out, using the '10% Differentiator'.

Often, leaders tend to concentrate on the 90% that is commonly known, and focus on being 'good enough'. However, they often overlook the 10% that makes them unique and valuable, the differentiator to becoming 'great'. Through recognising and refining these unique qualities, leaders can differentiate themselves from others and achieve greater success.

Through my speaking engagements, I share my expertise on the '10% Differentiator' and provide leaders with practical strategies for identifying and leveraging their unique strengths. Drawing on my own experiences as a leader and entrepreneur, I offer real-world examples and insights to inspire and motivate your leaders.

I provide practical tips and strategies to help leaders cultivate a growth mindset and create a culture of continuous learning within their organisations.

By booking me to speak at your next event, you can help your leaders discover their unique strengths and take their leadership skills to the next level.

Feedback without Fear

For the past two decades, discussions around feedback have predominantly focused on the skill of giving it, often overlooking the equally crucial ability to receive it effectively. In typical business settings, the term "feedback" is almost synonymous with its delivery. This perspective needs a fundamental shift.

The real competitive edge lies not just in how feedback is given, but in how it is received and utilised. Organisations and individuals must develop the capacity to interpret feedback, regardless of its delivery style, and convert these insights into actionable improvements. Embracing this shift can lead to substantial growth and agility, transforming feedback into a powerful tool for continuous improvement and strategic advantage.

Is your organisation fit for purpose?

The Fit for Purpose keynote addresses the critical challenges faced by modern organisations in adapting to evolving workforce dynamics and technological advancements. The problem lies in the persistent adherence to outdated work models and resistance to flexible work environments, leading to disengagement and high turnover.

The key differentiator lies in designing a fit-for-purpose culture by integrating new leadership skills, fostering a balance between remote and in-person collaboration, and embracing advanced technologies. By encouraging active listening, practical implementation of feedback, and innovative problem-solving, we enable organisations to thrive in today's rapidly changing work landscape.

AV Requirements

I prefer to use a lapel microphone to better engage with my audience.
I use presentation slides to supplement what I speak about, so a clicker is preferred so I can walk around the room as I speak.
I load my presentations onto a USB to connect to the main computer. My presentations are in PDF format but can be created in PPT if required.
I sometimes video and sound record my Keynotes and bring with me my own camera, stand, and camera microphone. The only requirement for this is a space to set up, no further support is necessary. NOTE: the camera microphone connects only to my camera to record sounds, it does not connect to the AV as a general microphone for the event.

You are enough

So many people are saying 'Your leaders need to be more’ - Have more empathy, be more mindful, become more agile, more this and more that.

The truth is, at any crucial moment - they are enough, they've just lost the spark. You would never stop and retrain an athlete mid event - could you imagine? It doesn't make sense.

Instead you must encourage, ignite and ask them to dig deep.

Leadership is no different and now is that time!

Leaders are ambitious. Born with an innate drive. It’s that force that we must utilise. We will have them back to being exactly the leader they love to be.
