Speaking Topics:
‘The Power of Culture’
Culture is the elephant in the room. It’s big and hard to overlook, yet people continue to ignore it. Too many leaders are often not prepared to face it, deal with it or even consider its potential.
In this keynote, Jeremy arms you with the knowledge about culture -
What is it,
What defines it and
What impact it has
Practical pathways to guide you through
Culture change requires key influencers across an organisation to genuinely see and believe what needs to be different and then engage a critical mass of people to also want to be a part of the new way of working. This is straight forward but not necessarily easy. It’s straightforward as there are key signposts to shape, shift and strengthen a culture. It’s not easy because culture change is complex, confusing and confronting as it creates uncertainty which can often lead to emotional responses.
Jeremy has the ability to bring these elements alive through real stories and case studies, well proven strategies and deep insights to get underneath on what really drives behaviour change. People will walk away with a new found knowledge with practical suggestions on how to leverage the power of culture in their organisations.
‘Behavioural PACE’
How we think, feel and act is unique to us all, however there are patterns that emerge. Understanding these patterns increases our self awareness on what makes us ‘tick’. When we know not just what we are like, but why we do this, we then become more powerful contributors to our organisation, teams and communities.
Do we need to slow our pace down, quicken it up, or simply find the right cadence to be successful in the environment we live and work in? Behaviour change is complex so breaking out the components can make it easier to understand and manage. PACE is an acronym of Jeremy’s research and experience in what drives behaviour. Learn how Personality, Attitudes, Capability and Environment impact the way we think, feel and act and ultimately behave with others.
‘Team VOICE’
Team development has been around for many years, but many people focus only on relationships, or structure, or capabilities. What if you could broaden your understanding of what it takes to be a high performing team, whilst going deeper into what is driving the team forward and what is holding it back?
Jeremy’s experience with working with thousands of executive leaders, leading large and boutique consulting firms, and being involved as a player and administrator in high level sport, has highlighted to him the breadth and depth required to run high performing teams.
His ability to make complex human performance interactions easier to understand and navigate sets him apart. His research and experience highlights 5 distinctive factors of success for any team to ‘sing from the same song sheet’ and be clearer about their Team VOICE.
Come and learn about how to assess, monitor and develop teams through his Team VOICE framework. Teams need to be clear on the Vision, how they are Organised for success, create strong Interdependent relationships, establish and build the right Capabilities to deliver the vision, and understand and activate the right Energy in the right moments to keep people happy, focused and engaged.
