Studies show that when people are more confident, they tend to advance more quickly and to rise to a higher level compared with those who had less confidence.

So how do you improve your confidence and deliver sustainable results?

This keynote will:

  • Share the importance of why leaders need to trust themselves and know what they can and can't control.

KEYNOTE - HOw to Create a high-TRust CULTURE THAT ENHANCES SAFETY

When employees trust management and the organisation they are more likely to exchange ideas and information, discuss difficult issues and find ways to create synergy.  

But if people don’t trust, they close down.  It means they won’t contribute in meetings, collaborate or try anything new for fear of retribution.  In fact, a Vital Smarts study found that 93% of people believe their organisation is at risk of an accident waiting to happen because people are unwilling or unable to speak up.  

This keynote will:

  • Reveal how workplace trust issues impact employee wellbeing and safety.
  • Discuss powerful steps to helping people feel safe.
  • Unpack communication employees require to influence behaviour change.
