Lead with Purpose
This talk inspires leaders to lift up from their complex, fast paced and uncertain world to help define their ultimate purpose. Most leaders operate on autopilot with a tendency to repeat habits which can undermine the very outcomes they are trying to achieve. It’s only when they discover their big why that they can become purpose-led and able to formulate a roadmap to guide them in the direction they want to travel.
The talk provides inspiration, insight and practical steps to:
- Discover the power of purpose to be an inspired leader
- Transform your mind-set to be purpose-led
- Apply your purpose to nourish your work, life and relationships
60 to 90 minutes.

“”Companies whose success is founded on creating meaning for their employees, as well as for their customers and stakeholders have an invigorating sense of purpose that goes beyond business success and which makes people feel they are changing society. Lead with Purpose is a proven way to create our own sense of meaning.”
Authentic Leadership
Being authentic is the foundation for successful leadership. However, most leaders lack the necessary self-awareness to be who they really are on a consistent basis. As a consequence, leaders might think they are being the best version of themselves, but in reality there is a gap between how they see themselves and how others experience them. This gap is a risk because the primary way to truly engage and inspire others is through building strong emotional connection based on authenticity.
The talk provides inspiration, insight and practical steps to:
- Shape your personal leadership brand based on purpose, values and strengths
- Recognize how you show up as a leader makes a real difference
- Form a compelling leadership vision focused on authenticity to accelerate personal development
60 to 90 minutes.

Resilient Leadership
The new world of work demands cheaper, better, faster. There is too much to do and not enough time. Resource is scarce and it appears we don’t have the capacity to deliver. In this reality leaders need to develop new muscles to have the necessary resilience to bounce back and flourish. Leaders need to become corporate athletes where they build new muscle memory physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually to succeed.
The talk provides inspiration, insight and practical steps to:
- Increase insight to manage adversity and bounce back quickly
- Improve ability to adapt and utilise optimism for unleashing energy and drive
- Enhance flexibility to improvise when things are tough, see new opportunities and create new possibilities
60 to 90 minutes.

Connected Leadership
Leadership is relationship. Great relationships create great results. The problem is that the majority of leaders place task before investing in building strong connections with others. New research in neuroscience shows that we are wired to connect. We have neural mirrors that respond to the signals we send. Trust can be measured. Alignment can be evidenced. Leaders need to develop strong connections and networks to be successful.
The talk provides inspiration, insight and practical steps to:
- Develop strong relationships to create enduring followership
- Enhance your skillset to influence win/win outcomes
- Explore compassion as a way to engage others
