We speak to groups of any size about leadership and complexity, weaving together powerful ideas, practical applications, and humour. People come away inspired, informed, and ready to take action.

At Cultivating Leadership, our areas of expertise are diverse, and we love to speak at conferences, leadership retreats, and other places interesting people gather to learn new things. Our speeches are customised to the audience and the event, but they are rarely what pops into mind when you hear the word “speech.” Instead, our talks are almost always conversational—where everyone gets to learn from everyone else. Whether the group is twelve or twelve hundred, we work to keep people engaged, interactive, and walking away with ideas that make a difference in their lives.

We design our talks the way we design everything else—with principles of transformation built in. This means that even in a short time, we can inspire lasting change.
