When one plus one… equals 3!

Having worked with clients from just about every industry sector, and delivering hundreds of presentations around the world over the years, they’ve learned a few things about how to keep a room engaged while giving them some practical skills that live on long beyond the close of the conference. (Doesn’t that sound nice?)

“Obviously, we are grateful and delighted for any conference work we get; be it a keynote, a workshop or a guided facilitation, but here’s what we’ve found our clients love most.”

Opening Keynote Presentation

Kieran & Dan’s foundation keynote speech is “THE BEHAVIOUR REPORT™ “

The critical behavioural trends and insights you need to understand to successfully navigate our ever changing world.” giving your delegates a framework to filter the rest of the day’s content through. The 2024 edition of The Behaviour Report™ is called: “People Principles” where we explore the behavioural principles that shape:

1. #Influence
2. #Connection
3. #Performance

Conference Hosting & Awards Nights

Some clients also like to use us to then host the rest of the day, pulling the big themes and content together and creating a sense of connection between the other presentations and workshops. …

and the award goes to… We always try to build a genuine connection with the people we meet and work with (even if it’s only for a short time), and we’ve even been asked to host evening awards nights. It’s not for every event, but it’s enormously fun and allows us to bookend a conference in a way that feels connected and complete - people love a “call back reference” from earlier in the day.

Additional Presentations & Skills Workshops

This is an opportunity to have us take you and your team on a deep dive into Self-Awareness, Communication, Culture or Performance. You decide what works best for you and which workshop fits best with your conference theme and needs. These presentations and workshops are typically themed around:

1. People Principles : Pitch, Present & Persuade Increase your Influence through Communication & Presentation Skills
2. People Principles : Positioning, Profile & Personal Brand Create stronger Connection with your Customers, Clients & Community
3. People Principles : People, Personalities & Performance Build Strengths & Performance Systems through Self-Awareness & Empathy

Exercises, Interactive Sessions & Games

Getting people to listen to non-stop content (however interesting and useful) is a big ask. So we like to mix up the energy in the room with exercises, games and interactive sessions that “gamify” the learning experience. These might be about “hacking” a particular behavioural challenge, exploring opportunities for innovation or making some of the communication or team dynamic strategies we’ve discussed more practical and tangible. What we’ve found is, if they’re smiling, laughing and having fun, our audiences are more open minded to new ideas and those new ideas tend to STICK!

Panels, Hypotheticals & Great Debates

We’ve also been asked to mix up the format at a conference by captaining opposing teams of a great debate or to host a panel or hypothetical.

Past topics have included:

• “Can aged care be made sexy?” - For the ACSA conference
• “The world is out of control. Can we do anything about it?” - For Macquarie Bank
• Beyond “Left and right”: Why we need to explore safety strategies beyond just looking left and right. - For Level Crossings Victoria
• Can accountants be creative?: In a legal sense, of course, not in a “claim the family trip to Euro-Disney” kind of way. - For the CPA congress

Strategic & Leadership Facilitation

We’ll often run a pre-conference session over dinner or breakfast, or a discrete leadership breakout where we facilitate strategic and cultural options and solutions with the leadership team around communication breakdowns, performance breaks, brand strategy and disconnected teams and purpose.

Foundation Presentation & Workshop

“PEOPLE PRINCIPLES”

This presentation helps your and your team to develop greater behavioural understanding, self-awareness, improve your communication, navigate team dynamics, drive collaboration and of course, to increase personal & team performance.

However, this is not just another talking head keynote. In fact, it’s so more than a speech… it’s a show! Depending on the time allowed for the presentation, we even divide our content into discrete “segments” and “sketches” to change up the energy in the room and keep people engaged.

If you’ve ever seen Michael McIntyre’s “The Big Show,” you get the idea.

Our Behaviour Report for 2024 is People Principles, where we explore the fundamental behavioural principles relating to:

1. Influence - Discover what makes your customers and clients buy and your team and community buy in
2. Connection - Increase your Collaborative Intelligence (We-Q) and build a compelling cultural identity
3. Performance - Shore up the vulnerabilities in your strengths and turn your weaknesses into assets
