Keynote Topics
Leading with Empathy
Empathy is a capability you can, and must, build for success. From perspective-taking to becoming consciously curious to exploring for understanding and leading with empathy and impact. Daniel unpacks the reasons it can be challenging and provides a 'how to' process of empathy in the workplace.
Managing Pirates & Passengers
Ever noticed how great teams start strong but can falter under tensions, with falling productivity and unaddressed issues? Often, the culprits are Pirates, who disrupt and divide, or Passengers, who merely coast without contributing. This session targets these challenges head-on, offering fun, practical guidance on leading decisively. Be inspired to manage team dynamics, enhance team performance, and drive your team towards success with proven strategies and simple tools.
Empathy, Ethics & AI
Amidst breakneck technological change, some think humans will soon be redundant. Nothing can be farther from the truth. In this incredibly captivating and interactive session, Daniel shows the importance of empathy & ethics in decision making and why we need good people now more than ever.
Leading the Great Reconnection
There has never been a more important time to reconnect our fractured workplaces. In a world dominated by complexity and uncertainty, we need leadership. Many feel isolated, afraid & disconnected. Are you going to be a victim of the great resignation or lead your team to a great reconnection?
Collective Courage
Challenges are inevitable - what matters is how we meet
them individually and as a team. This impactful keynote draws from more than 10,000 km of charity cycling journey across Thailand. Exploring life-changing insights into overcoming adversity, this journey focuses on moments of peak fatigue and doubt when pushing forward is vital.
This story underscores that our greatest challenges and solutions lie not in our external circumstances but in the decisions we make and the attitudes we create.
