ENERGY STRATEGY

keynote strategy Aug 31, 2024

It was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with the top talent at Origin Energy last week in Sydney for their Accelerate Talent Masterclass series and support their emerging leaders to get energy right for their customers, communities, and planet using the Strategic Mindset Process.

Meeting Andrew Thornton, Executive GM of Integrated Gas, was a highlight, and I appreciated the insightful comments Andrew shared about line of sight with respect to implementing strategy in large organisations, as well as hearing his strategies for overcoming this dilemma.

A huge thank you to Lena Lennartsson and her amazing team for organising such a fantastic couple of days.

A big shoutout to the storyboard artist Alice Edy from livedrawing.com.au for capturing my presentation so brilliantly on one page (see blog image)—your work brought my strategic mindset concepts to life!

I look forward to future collaborations with Origin and continuing the strategic conversation.

IN SYDNEY

keynote strategy Jul 31, 2024

Invite to Sydney

I am delighted to be presenting at a special combined Business Sydney and Sydney CBD Chamber next month!

I will be sharing important insights, connecting with fellow professionals and contributing to this vibrant business community.

I will reaffirm the need for a Strategic Mindset in the face of an increasing array of disruptive business models.

Those business leaders attending will realise that their dominant logic and existing worldview (however successful) can act as blinders to weak external signals and rising opportunities, ultimately impeding strategic renewal.

Shifting regulation, consumer preferences, technology platforms and new connected business models are pushing out efficiency frontiers within many industries.

No industry or firm is immune to this.

UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

keynote Jul 10, 2023

Gratitude and commendation for Joe Pezzano and Garth Taylor. 

These two remarkable individuals form a dynamic duo called 1E Group that can transform your National Conference into an absolute hit.

Last month, I had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at the Advantage Conference hosted by Garth and Joe in Perth.

SHAPING OTHERS

keynote strategy Jun 06, 2023

When leaders approach me after a speaking engagement, their eyes brimming with excitement, I am filled with a profound sense of connection.

As a passionate motivational speaker and author, there is no greater satisfaction than witnessing the enthusiasm and engagement of leaders who have just heard me speak at a conference. I love to surprise and delight my audiences while unpacking the steps needed to create a strategic mindset, build future perspectives and shape a brighter future.

After many of my talks, there is often an opportunity to connect with individual audience members, to learn about their trials and successes. I cherish hearing their inspiring journeys. Through their victories, I am reminded of the limitless potential within each of us. 

It is in these moments that selling copies of my books and signing them with a personalised note of encouragement becomes much more than a mere transaction; it becomes a heartfelt exchange and a catalyst for change. We shape each...

IDEA SPREADING

keynote strategy May 22, 2023

When I arrived to speak to Morton Bay business leaders at the Sandstone Point Hotel on Friday, every table had a sign placed by my host, the Caboolture Chamber.

The sign read: "A Strategic Mindset is essential in today's business world where disruption is constant."

The idea of a strategic mindset is an idea worth spreading.

It was an honour to speak to the Caboolture Chamber. They certainly know how to organize a fun event and create a fantastic learning environment – so much laughter and learning over the hour.

Even though the Caboolture Chamber is still relatively new in the Chamber of Commerce realm, they are already filled with enthusiastic and dedicated community leaders, such as Morton Bay Councillor Adam Hain, Paul Garcia, Chamber Relationship Manager from Business Chamber Queensland, and Yvonne Rinaldi, Principal of Caboolture Montessori School, as well as dozens of business owners and managers, like Marissa Austin, Operations Manager from ETC Ltd. I was truly...
