Keynotes & Consulting

KEYNOTE 1

Embrace the Chaos and Win!

 

We’re living in chaotic times. We are experiencing chaos on the global stage, in our politics, cities, and communities. In our personal lives, we frequently deal with chaos through loss, grief, trauma and disappointment. It can impact our relationships and physical and mental health. Evidence shows it also has a profound impact on our outcomes and success at work. Distraction and reduced focus, loss of motivation, poor communication, fractured relationships, fear and uncertainty are ways chaos can impact our workplace and organizations. It fundamentally affects our chances of winning in life and at work.

 

Companies, organizations and associations are only as strong as their people, and never has individual happiness and wellbeing been under more threat than now. And no one — no industry, business division, or level of leadership — is immune to chaos and its effects on staff morale, performance and bottom line. Is there a better way to help ourselves and our teams to recognize and deal with chaos so it doesn’t become a destructive force? Can you win amidst chaos? Yes. In fact, by embracing chaos it can serve as the catalyst for growth and improvement. The trick is being able to identify the chaos, name it and move in it to recognize the opportunities that can help you, your team, and your organization reach new heights. Through his keynote Winning Chaos! Steve can help you do this.

KEYNOTE 2

Own your own Sh#t – Putting personal responsibility back into the workplace

 

Organisations are only as strong as their people. When your people spend more time hiding, denying or blaming others for their behavior/problems, then your organization suffers. Our organizations, like many parts of our society, are impacted by an epidemic of people not taking responsibility and ownership for the problems they have and the messes they create. Can this be changed? Can we shift our focus back to personal and work accountability and responsibility? Yes, I believe you can, and by doing so you’ll achieve better outcomes.

 

In this keynote presentation, author, executive and recovering tech entrepreneur Steve Huff shares powerful stories, case studies and strategies to illustrate how taking responsibility can reap rewards in your personal life and the workplace. Steve explores how to replace the culture of “This isn’t my responsibility” to one of “I’m responsible”. In doing so, Steve will introduce the concept of powerful choices and how owning your own sh#t can lead to increased power, influence and success.
 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the impact avoiding responsibility can have on your organization

  • Discover the proven techniques for building responsibility and accountability

  • Differentiate powerful and powerless choices

  • Demonstrate how powerful choices can increase responsibility, power and influence.
