Culture is your secret weapon in the era of AI
When everyone has the same AI giving them the same answers, the only thing left that sets you apart is your culture. This session offers a simple three-stage way to build one worth having, and people leave with five things they can try on Monday morning.
How boring ruined work **A talk to add zing to your event, as the barnstorming last act of they day**
Meetings have trebled in a decade, and back-to-back calls are quietly draining the life out of our teams. This is a funny, pointed look at how we ruined our own jobs, and what to do about it.
The Last Business Advantage in the Age of AI? Workplace Culture
While leaders plan for AI to level the playing field of productivity and efficiency, the real competitive advantage might lie somewhere else – with workplace culture. With Microsoft describing the future of work as having ‘intelligence on tap’ business is quickly going to find that it’s not just the quality of their thinking that sets them apart – it’s the human layer that lies on top of it. Bruce explains how we should think about culture, how we should build it and how to create culture that genuinely differentiated.
Squad Goals – How to Build, Lead and Inspire a Winning Team
Many leaders find themselves whispering an embarrassing feeling: that their team doesn’t feel as energised as it used to be. In this session Bruce breaks down the core reasons for teams to feel bonded and gives leaders clear steps to create their own high performance teams. Drawing lessons from sport, psychology, and business, it shows how leaders can shape culture, foster connection, and unlock performance – whether you’re leading five, fifty or five thousand.
Should we be optimistic about the future of work?
With a lot of discussion about the robots taking over we might wonder if the outlook for humans is bleak. In this entertaining presentation Bruce gives reason to be cheerful – we might be heading to our best time ever.
Finding Fortitude – How to dial up team resilience in tough times
Wanting the people around us to be more resilient is natural – whether our teammates, family or friends. But sometimes expecting individuals to be resilient is a hard challenge, we don’t know what actions we’re meant to take to unlock this inner strength. In this presentation drawing on lessons from his bestselling book, Fortitude, described by the Financial Times as ‘the best business book of the year’, Bruce unpacks resilience and explains how any of us can bounceback better.
