"Most of us need to slow down and focus on what really matters. I help leaders drive meaningful change and uncover what truly drives growth. There’s a lot of stress and pressure out there — many of us feel overwhelmed. We help people cut through the noise and focus on what matters most. You can have anything you want in life but there are two absolute conditions: You must know what you want (this is the hard bit) and you must believe you can have it."

THE LEADERSHIP SESSIONS

Slow the f down to speed up

There aren’t many keynote speeches that can really change lives in 30 minutes

Emma Harris’ #slowthefuckdown gives the audience a wake-up call to how our relentless pursuit of more and a lack of awareness of what drives our behaviours can lead to us living unfulfilled lives. Emma’s shocking story of how a near-death experience changed her perspective takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, helping them connect with their own thought processes and giving them tools and strategies that enable them to make choices that better serve their needs and desires. Using a combination of science, psychological theory and humour, Emma makes her lessons both simple and relatable, leaving the audience with a clear understanding of how to change their approach to living and help them live more fulfilled lives.

Leading Through Change

There’s no doubt that the business world is in a state of perpetual change

Data and technology is driving a truck through every element of our working lives and never before has the pace of change been so aggressive. However, 70% of change initiatives fail, largely due to employee resistance not being managed effectively by leaders. Using a combination of NLP techniques, DiSC personality profiling, high performance principles and well-established theories on change, Leading Through Change is a comprehensive guide to change including: a theoretical understanding of what happens to people during a time of change, different ways to support them at different phases how to meet the needs of different personality preferences.
