Keynote Topics
DEEP PERFORMANCE
Be the best of the best
FOR LEADERS, SALES AND MARKETING TEAMS, OPERATIONAL TEAMS AND GENERAL TEAM PERFORMANCE
High performance has its place in an organisation 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 GOAT’s (that’s Greatest of All Time for the uninitiated!) and the uncompromising world of fighter pilots, and how to apply them in your business.
You’ll learn:
- The trust-based “nameless and rankless” methods used by fighter pilots globally to deliver exceptional outcomes and a win rate of 98%.
- The relationship between Purpose, Time and Trust. Three powerful elements that can’t be bought and must be created, to drive organisational-wide velocity and sustained high performance.
- How to create an agile and adaptive mindset, without the chaos and confusion.
- How to create more time by investing in the right things and saying NO purposefully.
The GID Mindset - Get It Done!
The secret to unlocking 400% more OF EVERYTHING
FOR SALES, PRODUCTIVITY, ENGAGEMENT, RESILIENCE, AGILE WAYS OF WORKING AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT
The world around you is accelerating. We look at emerging research on how organisations 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.
You’ll take away:
- The value of sustained high performance (or “deep” performance) for you, your team and your customers
- A simple four step structure that helps you “think quick” and create velocity to gain the competitive edge
- Keep it simple. How to create more time in your day through greater alignment in thought, action and impact
- The “GID” mantra and why focusing on big picture outcomes rather than tasks is the key to success
- Close the “Say-Do” gap. How to build trust by ”doing” what we say we’re going to do (and do the right things in the first place!)

You’ll take away:

What’s the point of every action, meeting, or product in your organisation, or to put it another way, the purpose? This keynote explores why creating purpose, understanding purpose at different levels of your business, and understanding our customers purpose is the key to becoming indispensable.
Having a Vision, Mission and goals is one thing, helping everyone in the organisation connect to them is another.We’ll dive deep on connecting daily purposeful actions to your organization’s “Big Purpose” to help improve engagement, productivity and wellbeing across all levels of your business.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
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.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
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.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
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.
