SPEAKING TOPICS
THE THREE ENVIRONMENTS OF PERFORMANCE
All success, whether it be in our personal or business lives, ultimately comes down to how well we understand ourselves, our teams, our families, our customers, the marketplace and the communities we contribute to and serve. Just as critical, is our ability to get each of these individuals and groups to take decisive action, and to bring (and be) their best.
This keynote speech and leadership workshop is designed to help you master The Three Environments of Performance™ – the Psychological (Mindset), the Social (Culture) and the Structural (Strategy). In other words, how we can develop a personal ID-ology™ of achievement, create a Culture of the Willing™ and drive Performance by Design™.
In this exciting, thought-provoking and often hilarious presentation, Dan will reveal cutting edge behavioural research, insights and strategies that deliver real world results to your performance as a leader, as a team, in your culture, and to your organisation and community as a whole.
In a world where AI, quantum computing and robotics will replace much of the grunt work we perform on a daily basis, where social and marketplace expectations are increasing and commercial competition is even more demanding, it will be our capacity to lift in the face of challenge, to discover our “you-nique advantage” and to work with and energise the people in our worlds, that will single us out as the leader everyone wants to follow, and as the community everyone wants to be a part of.
HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET
One of the reasons change is so difficult and high performance so illusive, is that we tend to focus mostly on the functional or mechanical factors much more than the mental and psychological. However, the fields of performance and positive psychology and growth mindset have proven that we must “win in the mind,” in order to win in the field of play. In ID-ology™, Dan reveals what it takes to not only change your mindset, but to fundamentally shift your beliefs and sense of identity, success and achievement.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURES
Dan has worked with leaders and teams across virtually every industry and territory. In Cultures of the Willing™, he explores how our Culture, Environments, Mythology and “No-where-else” Behaviours not only inform who we are and who we are becoming, but also how the talent in our teams can self-regulate their own decisions and behaviours – all in a way that is congruent and aligned with our values and goals. Cultures of the Willing™ is how we make our vision… tangible!
HIGH PERFORMANCE STRATEGY
Performance by Design™ is based on the science of positive, personality and performance psychology as well as behavioural economics strategies. It explores how our Default Filters & Frames™ inform our Beliefs, Biases, Blocks, Blind spots and Breaks; how our Strengths and Weaknesses can both offer opportunities to lift our game and stand out as high performers; as well as how behaviour design can create a bias towards success (and just as importantly, a bias away from failure).
