Keynotes
Toxic Fuel: Is it driving your team?
Finding the balance between high performance and burnout is one of the toughest challenges for go-to-market teams. Drawing on my experience in both tech sales and mental health, I offer practical insights for revenue teams under pressure. Together, we’ll explore what’s really driving your team, and how to create a culture where people can share openly and achieve sustainable success.
Key takeaways:
- Identify the toxic fuels driving your team and how to find sustainable performance.
- Connect with your high performers in a way that keeps them engaged for longer.
- Spot the signs of burnout in your team and what to do before it costs you the rep.
The Mental Health Toolkit
With so much labelling, stigma and generic advice about mental health, genuine support is hard to find. I share my story, research, and practical tools to help your team build their own mental health toolkit. This keynote is thought-provoking and inspires people to connect, open up, and find what really works.
This talk can also become a series of four more talks, each focussing on one tool in more detail.
Key takeaways:
- Practical tools to reduce mental health struggles and build resilience, for a stronger foundation at work and at home.
- A clear, hopeful approach to mental health that replaces stigma with understanding and actionable steps.
- Ways for colleagues to establish deeper, more authentic connections at work.
Beyond the Labels: What Leaders Need to Know About Mental Health
Even as awareness grows and new labels emerge, more people are stepping away from work without turning to the support on offer. I share my firsthand experience with the mental health system, alongside shocking stories and research to leave you feeling more able to foster connection and positive change in your team.
Key takeaways:
- How to genuinely connect with and support colleagues experiencing mental health challenges.
- Understand mental health and burnout from the real-life perspective of employees navigating the system.
- Learn how to shift mental health in your team from a problem to be managed into an opportunity for growth.
