Conference keynote:
FINDING YOUR OOMPH - GET YOUR MOTIVATION AND DRIVE BACK

Lost your motivation and wondering where it’s gone? Keen to get your drive back? You’re not the only one. 

We know from time to time it feels like you're running uphill and getting nowhere, so we’re here to help you get your motivation back and feel positive again.

Being passive is not our default mode as human beings, otherwise we would have been born as a sloth or a panda. It’s in our nature to move forward, in a direction of something we desire or value. Understanding our personal motivation can help us feel more in control, support performance and help us achieve our goals, both short and long term. 

Feeling demotivated is also normal - maybe because of unattainable goals, conflicts, lack of challenge or autonomy or too much challenge. Whatever it is, by understanding a few simple techniques, you can confront these things, get clarity and drive peak performance in whatever you do.  

In this interactive keynote, we’ll explore: 

  • Emotional awareness and the impact on oomph, so you can begin to recognise and respond to the emotions you’re experiencing
  • Intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, helping you realise what it takes to give yourself and your team the boost you all need
  • Understanding values and how this impacts motivation, so you can work together to find values that motivate you and your team
  • Flow, motivation and strengths, giving you techniques to help keep that positivity flowing
  • What to do when stuck to become unstuck and flourish, helping you finally get some clarity and that all important mojo back 

So why not book this keynote today - you’ll have your motivation back in no time.

Growth Mindset

Conference keynote:
GROWTH MINDSET

This growth mindset keynote investigates the fascinating psychology and neuroscience of growth mindset and looks at the theories behind the way we learn and develop

‘I can and I will’, goes the saying. David Brent probably had it printed on a mouse mat… and a mug. Maybe even a t-shirt. Brent had many failings; mysogny, choreography - but he wasn’t a quitter. He had growth mindset. He faced whatever life threw at him with positivity, and when he got knocked down (frequently), he got back up again and kept trying.

David Brent is probably not the best person to model your managerial style on. But growth mindset -the ability to meet change and adapt – is something every successful person and organisation needs. Growth mindset cultures improve motivation and effort. They develop positive approaches to new challenges. Teams with a growth mindset are more likely to embrace challenges and be more persistent.

This keynote uncovers the secrets that lead to success and gives delegates techniques they can use in everyday life to develop and thrive. Thankfully, it won’t turn you into David Brent – but it will make you laugh, and if you practice what it teaches, it will help you to be more positive and resilient .

An introduction to unconscious and conscious human mind

Teaser: This keynote delves into human behaviour and takes a scientific look at the mind
Date:: 2023-12-14 14:07

Conference keynote:
INTRODUCTION TO THE UNCONSCIOUS AND CONSCIOUS HUMAN MIND

This keynote delves into human behaviour and takes a scientific look at the mind

Most people do not realise that we are hard-wired to prefer people who look like us, sound like us and share our interests. We make decisions that affect our lives and the people around us, based on deep sub-conscious processes. This is called unconscious bias and is one of the hottest topics in employment because it bypasses rational thinking and affects diversity and equality.

This keynote delves into human behaviour and takes a scientific look at the mind and the processes that happen within it. Delegates will discover how we learn to think, act, behave and communicate and gain a greater understanding of the processes that help and hinder development.
