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.

Ronan Harrington is a world class resilience teacher. His ability to connect leaders to themselves and each other is rare.
John Waterfield, Head of Strategic Relationships, KPMG

Our Leadership Team is still talking about it and it has prompted a very healthy and open discussion about how we build resilience for ourselves and our people. Thank you Ronan – you were brilliant.
Scott Wheatley, Head of Financial Consulting, Deloitte

Insightful, authentic and engaging. His personal story is highly compelling and I would recommend anyone working in a high performance culture or role to spend time with Ronan.
Chris McBrayne, VP Technology, IBM

I left Ronan Harrington’s talk truly speechless and determined to take better care of myself. A rare, powerful alchemy that goes so far beyond a typical “keynote speaker” it seems a miss to even refer to it as that.
Julia Jahn, Director, Employee Experience AKQA

Ronan’s keynote was one of the stand out moments at our conference. A 500 person standing ovation and by all accounts, not a dry eye in the house.
Oliver Damgaard, Managing Director, HR TechX

I’ve told so many people about Ronan’s talk as it was one of the most thought provoking and poignant presentations I’ve ever had.
