Taren Gesell | How to combine good stress management efforts with strategies to work smarter and create high performance
“More is more until it is not”. Taren Gesell, also known as Triathlon Taren, explores how we can create high performance while managing our stress levels.
Taren’s experience as a triathlete and as founder and CEO of MOTTIV has allowed him to reflect and understand when he is pushing himself too far, requiring him to pull away from stress, rather than push through it.
Taren emphasises the importance of making a conscious effort to create balance in your life, with tips for how to fully relax, even though you may think you already are. Combining good stress management efforts with strategies to work smarter, high performance with less stress could be achievable.

Rabbi Dr. Daniel Friedman | How relevant are leadership principles from ancient texts to business leaders today?
How relevant are leadership principles from ancient texts to business leaders today?
Rabbi Dr Daniel Friedman, the founder of The Center for Torah Values, strives to make Torah meaningful, relevant, and inspirational to everyday life. Daniel explains how the core leadership principles that are explored in ancient texts are still completely relevant in leadership today but can be re-packaged to suit our current fast-moving business era.
Daniel highlights how ancient texts demonstrate resilience, self-awareness, and recognition of personal strengths and weaknesses as vital values to leadership. Therefore, with the inevitable mirroring of past events or ideas in our world today, it is essential that we continue to apply the values emphasised in these texts, to business leadership today.

Aaron Phipps MBE | Just Do It: Lessons on Overcoming Adversity and Seizing Opportunities
Be inspired to “just do it” by Aaron Phipps, gold medal-winning Paralympian, who lives his life by this motto.
At the age of 15, Aaron’s life completely changed as he fell life-threateningly ill with meningitis. Having been given another opportunity to live life, Aaron now takes it in his stride to grasp all opportunities thrown at him and see where they lead him.
Saying “yes” and “just do it” led Aaron to the Paralympic rugby team and to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro where he astonishingly crawled on his hands and knees for 4 days to reach the top. Aaron is a true inspiration in overcoming adversity and an advocate for seizing opportunities.

Gen Z, the “on-demand generation”: how do we manage them in the workplace?

In 10 years, a third of the workforce will be made up of Gen Z, so Rebecca shares how important it is that we begin to reflect on this generation's qualities, expectations, and values. Understanding how to embrace Gen Z will help them flourish and thrive as a generation and the wider organisation.

Hans Horlings | How workplace engagement can drive an organisation’s resilience?
Hans Horlings, freelance public speaker, trainer, facilitator, and coach discusses how workplace engagement can drive an organisation's resilience.
Hans emphasises how highly engaged employees have a drive and purpose, which allows them to overcome obstacles, be committed and have confidence and belief in themselves. With this level of engagement comes an automatic increase in resilience.
Hans uses a fascinating analogy of being a sailing boat captain to describe the process of experiencing and overcoming obstacles, and how this ultimately builds confidence. A highly engaged and resilient workplace can be created by focusing on the things we can control and combining this skill with confidence, drive, and purpose.

Dr Susan Kahn | How is your unconscious self impacting your work?
How is your unconscious self impacting your work? Dr Susan Kahn, business psychologist and coach, explains what our unconscious self is, and how unlocking and thus bringing this buried side of us to the surface, can help us become better leaders.
Strategies to become more self-aware can help us engage with our unconscious self and can allow us to identify potential defence mechanisms which could be destructive at work. Dr Kahn emphasises how our defence mechanisms serve to be protective, however, they can limit what we can achieve at work and create negative differences in the way your team perceive you, compared to the way you perceive yourself. Dr Kahn suggests ways of identifying and addressing these behavioural patterns, which in time can help us become improved leaders.

Jonathan Cave | How to create sustained success by ”Inpowering” yourself
“Inpowerment”: the art of digging deep inside ourselves to find what really makes us unique and great, to then bring it to the surface and apply it to everything we do.
Jonathon Cave, entrepreneur, coach and facilitator, discusses what “inpowerment” is, and how his personal journey led him to this inspiring process. At the age of 40 Jonathon decided to leave his incredibly successful career in law, in order to truly find himself, his purpose, and finally his central alignment.
Jonathon emphasises how by questioning ourselves and looking deep inside, we can find our central alignment, and once you find your central line, the energy you radiate and feel will be completely freeing and ultimately “inpowering”.
