RONAN HARRINGTON | KEYNOTE TOPICS

From Burnout to Resilience: Ronan reveals the secrets to being a high performer with a low risk of burnout. He introduces a new way of working, grounded in the science of resilience, with practical tools that teams can use to achieve sustainable high performance. A former futurist to the British Foreign Office, Ronan shares how he went from the corridors of power to being diagnosed with a lifetime chronic pain condition. With depth and resilience, Ronan shows what it truly means to be resilient.

How to Lead Resilient, High Performance Teams: Ronan shows leaders, managers, and executives how to shift from overwhelmed task coordinators, to composed performance conductors and caring leaders. The talk is packed with tools to build surplus time to give your team the emotional support and autonomy they need to perform at their best, resulting in a high-performance team where people feel energised to do the best work they can do.

Rock Solid Confidence Under Pressure: When your business is going through a tough patch, you need to understand how to turn things around. Ronan shares case studies where companies have skilfully acknowledged what needs to change, and have build a game plan that rebuilds confidence in their staff and their clients. When morale is low, this is the pep talk your team needs.

How to Embed a Culture of Sustainable Performance: Ronan shares new methods used by leading companies to overcome old, engrained ways of working. He introduces the 3 M framework: mindsets, mechanisms, and modelling. This method allows them to define, embrace, and scale any desired leadership behaviour. This is a must-see keynote for leaders who want to create a company-wide culture of sustainable high performance.

Clients include Aviva, EY, HM Treasury, IHG, Kellanova, KPMG, L’Oréal, Meta, Pax8, Sage, Sky, and the University of Oxford.
