My approach to public speaking and workshops is rooted in the same values that guide all my other professional endeavours: creating a workplace where people can thrive and flourish.

I am familiar with and speak about topics surrounding leadership development, psychological safety, cognitive biases, diversity, inclusion, and mental health at the modern workplace.

Creating a Trust Culture in an Organisation

Trust is the underlying element of any strong and reliable human relationship. On average, we spend 10,400 hours working in a year. These hours should be spent with people we trust. Building on my 16 years of experience in organisational consulting both in Asia and Europe, I break down the important elements of trust, its importance and relevance in the workplace, and the surprising influence that culture can have on it. 

I discuss some of the easiest ways to build – and break – trust at the workplace and why first impressions are crucial in trust building. I explore the importance of meaningful connections and their impact on the organisation’s well-being.

Developing the Modern Leader

Leadership is evolving and the pressure for leaders has never been higher. Leaders of today are expected to be therapists, economists, stand-up comedians, inspiring speakers, and creative artists: super-humans yet tasked with remaining human, accessible, humble and emotionally vulnerable.

In this topic, I delve into the many hows – “How do we adapt to the new face of leadership?”, “How do we evolve our practices to remain relevant and impactful?”, “How do we recognise our limiting habits and notions?”

Thriving in the VUCA World
