Building an Unstoppable Mindset

Mental health is pivotal to all human development, informing our performance, our mindset and our ability to connect with others. Mental health is indeed the foundation to a life well lived, in and out of the workplace. Alarming statistics now show us that mental health is a global issue with depression, anxiety and even suicide rates rising dramatically from 2023 to 2024.

From self leadership is born the ability to lead others and when individual leadership is complimented with frameworks that encourage opportunity, inclusion and connection, we create powerful environments for quicker decisions, collaborative advantage and unified work efforts.

Cultivating Healthy Company Culture

In this time of Hybrid workforces, disconnected employees and industry disruption, the importance of healthy company culture has never been more pivotal to performance and longevity. More specifically, the ability for leaders to create a culture that instills a sense of belonging and connection is now paramount to cultivating collaboration and collective action. From remote teams to organizations at large, a focus on community and culture is no longer a nice-to-have, but instead a must-have.

Through his inspirational Passion Effect message, company culture keynote speaker, Seb Terry, explores the most effective way to cultivate thriving workplace culture through creating a framework that leverages individual agency as the catalyst for connection and evolution..

Engagement Starts with Passion

Nearly 9 out of 10 of employees in the US admit they lack passion in the workplace, contributing to an alarming engagement rate of just 33% nationwide. With employee engagement issues leading to absenteeism, declining productivity and disenfranchised workforces, the onus for leaders to effectively engage their teams is vital in sparking individual performance and company growth.

The opportunity therefore lies in holistically inspiring employees through leveraging purpose as a tool for engagement and action. Employee engagement keynote speaker, Seb Terry, powerfully brings to stage his captivating message while offering a framework that links individual passion to company vision.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand.
