For leaders, sales and marketing teams, operational teams and general team performance.

High performance has its place in an organization and deep down, we all need and want to perform and to be part of a high-performing, winning team. However, research highlights the stark reality, that not everyone can be, or wants to be, a high performer. However, we can all be deep performers!

This topic explores the power of deep performance. You’ll gain insights into the simple lessons and habits of the best of the best, from business leaders, the GOATs (that’s Greatest of All Time for the uninitiated!) and the uncompromising world of fighter pilots, and how to apply them in your business.

Chaos, fatigue, burnout, loneliness, dis-engagement. What does the future of humanity look like? There’s plenty of talk about technology, what about you? Are you being left behind? Or do you sometimes wish you had a little bit “more” to get you through the day? More, time, more energy, more growth, more clarity….more fun?! ?

The world around you is accelerating. We look at emerging research on how organizations can take advantage of disruption to not only keep pace with change, but to accelerate ahead of it. We’ve all heard the phrase “We need to buy time”? Well unfortunately you can’t! In an accelerating world, mastering the time you have is fundamental to
success.

If we can’t buy more time, how do we create it? The GID mindset is a way of getting your people to think fast and work in unprecedented synchronicity – it’s the future for humans to work in the era of digitalization and automation. It’s about focus, getting “it” done rather than “things” or “stuff done.”

  in the first place!)

This presentation is great for leaders, strategic thinking, sales and marketing, resilience, motivation, and inspiration.
