#38 - Ronan Harrington - Resilience in the Decade of Disruption

Ronan helps organisations understand the coming decade of disruption, and how they can move from burnout to resilience.

His talks are rare in that they combine big picture trends with the science of resilience, and are packed with lots of psychological tools to manage stress, anxiety and burnout. Audiences leave with a surprising dose of optimism about the future and confidence in their ability to cope with increasing complexity.

His expertise comes from having worked as a scenario planner to the British Foreign Office and strategic lead at RethinkX, the Think Tank  analysing technological disruption and its impacts on society. He is also a Client Director at Tough Cookie, which help major companies to improve their mental resilience.

In the past year, he has delivered inspiring keynotes to KPMG, McKinsey-Aberkyn, and INSEAD, giving senior leaders the insights they need to respond to this moment of chaos and uncertainty.

His talks are inspiring because they come from my own lived experience of being in senior leadership positions. He speaks openly about the stress of being a decision maker in chaotic environments. This includes the severe burnout he faced after leading the political strategy for the global climate movement. Now more than ever, audiences need to understand how to cope with crisis and adversity, and having experienced his own dark night of the soul, he can speak honesty about how to use it as an invitation to grow as a leader.

His speaking topics include:

Resilience in the Decade of Disruption


Challenges and Opportunities in a post-Covid World
Technology and Emerging Trends

Employee Engagement 
Mental Resilience
Health and Well-Being
