Keynote Talks
Daring to Lead in a Fragmented World
Why courageous leadership is the key to trust, legitimacy, and renewal.
In a polarized world, leadership demands courage. This talk explores trust, legitimacy, and how bold leaders can rebuild confidence between business, society, and the future we share.
"Neil doesn't just teach concepts; he embodies them, bringing a level of authenticity and insight that is both rare and invaluable. This integrity, combined with his ability to make material resonate on a personal level, ensures that participants not only learn but are inspired to apply these sessions in their own lives. Working with Neil is always a reassuring experience. We know that whatever the brief, he will deliver it flawlessly, leaving the audience with valuable insights." — Colleen McLintock, Omnicor

The Key to Authentic Leadership
AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP does not have to mean wearing your heart on your sleeve. Neil takes leaders on a mind-expanding (and heart-inspiring) journey where leaders learn the difference between honesty and authenticity and learn to work with both in a new and powerful way.
Why Honesty is the Best Policy
TEAM PERFORMANCE improves when people are more honest with each other. However, such truthful conversation only happens more easily when it is safe to do so. Neil presents a coaching approach to developing psychological safety—and thereby improving performance—in teams.
Making Monday Great Again!
PEOPLE BECOME authentically engaged and motivated when they treat work as an opportunity for growth. In this motivational talk, Neil shows how to recognise and draw on the deeper benefits of work so that work becomes more fulfilling, even before you find that perfect job.

Keynote Talks
Daring to Lead in a Fragmented World
Why courageous leadership is the key to trust, legitimacy, and renewal.
In this inspiring and transformational talk, Neil draws on his rich experience as a high-flying magazine editor and Internet entrepreneur who "won and lost it all" and shares a practical philosophy and foundational mindset for dealing with uncertainty based on his deep knowledge of mindfulness principles and vast coaching experience.
"Human beings, and especially business leaders, believe that everything is up to them, that nothing would happen if they didn't decide it or do it. Yet if you look more carefully, you see that reality takes its own course—it emerges, often despite you. In a world of uncertainty and complexity, Neil shares a well-tested practical philosophy on how you can control less—have less emergency—and get better outcomes, even in the most consequential situations."

The Uncertain Times
Subscribe to this inspiring and thought-provoking newsletter in which Neil shares a practical philosophy and foundational mindset for leading through uncertain times. Here's an excerpt:
Every leader feels the pressure of having to know, of having to have all the answers. They lie awake at night fretting. They present a brave face to their team. They grab at articles like this and scan them for answers. Decision-making frameworks. More acronyms to cram into that tiny space already so full of information and worry. Finding none, but suspecting there may be something of interest, they save for later. Here's what you need to know instead. But beware. It's not a technical answer, wrapped up in an acronym. We have enough of those. Some are already in the donation box. Ready for it?

Unhelpful Assumptions (for Leading Through Uncertainty) #4 | “Something’s Wrong”
If a problem is not happening to you, then is it really a problem? We may not like the answer to this philosophical-sounding question, but it has very real and practical implications. There is that philosophical question that if a tree falls down in a forest and nobody is [...]
Unhelpful Assumptions (for Leading Through Uncertainty) #3 | “We’re in Control”
As some people would have it, even a plane can’t fly without them in it. How disappointing for them when they discover autopilot. If you’ve been a regular reader, you might have noticed a theme emerging about how we can’t throw ourselves like a missile at reality and expect [...]
Unhelpful Assumptions (for Leading Through Uncertainty) #2 | “Our Plan is Right”
Just as rules are meant to be broken (sometimes), we could say that plans are meant to go awry—and they do (very often). How, then, should you respond when things aren’t going to plan? In the 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final against England, South Africa’s Springboks found themselves struggling [...]
