There are high expectations of organisations today. This is passed down to leaders, managers and everyone involved. It can be stressful and frustrating when people know they aren’t contributing all they can to a company mission they believe in.

Science continues to reveal how we can help people to perform at their best. This keynote draws on the latest neuroscience and behavioural science to equip your people with the practical steps they can take to be more effective and efficient. We share the framework that everything can be fed through to take practical, tangible steps to make things better.

Attendees are inspired and their confidences raised to do what needs to be done having been empowered with the evidence. People say they are excited to make changes knowing that they will lead both to better performance of teams, but also a healthy, holistic result where people are also more engaged and fulfilled.

Leaders are often passionate, smart, hard working and wanting to do their best by their teams and their company. The decisions they have to make are complex, often urgent and hard. Their time is precious and they are pulled in many directions.

This keynote is designed to equip them with an evidence based approach to wise priorities when it comes to leading their people. What leader skills will be the most worthwhile investment of their attention? When hard decisions need to be made, what should guide them?

Learning how to guide a team’s brains and work with them rather than against them is hugely valuable and impacts everything from engagement and wellbeing to creativity and productivity.

We all know that to continue to be innovative, cutting edge, future-proofed and even healthy we need to keep learning. But do you really know what goes on in your brain when you learn? How to make it as efficient as possible? Time is precious.

This keynote is shining a light on the most valuable insights the brain has to offer to equip you to learn most effectively. Our PUSH (TM) into learning at Work reveals the core principles of learning that you need to build everything around. We share tips and tricks for building efficient learning habits into your weekly routines.

Understanding how to look after your own and your colleague’s wellbeing means you are likely to:

• Get sick less often (physically or mentally).
• Feel more in control.
• Be better able to contribute in and out of work.
• Enjoy life more.

Most people have some ideas of what they ‘should’ be doing. The questions are whether those things will give them the desired results, and how to sustain the desired behaviours. That’s where this keynote comes in.

We unpack what the research says to ensure their goals are going to give them what they actually want. Then we work on how to ensure their goals become a reality using the latest behavioural science.

If you need to change behaviours quickly, sustainably and without piling on a load of pressure to people then you need this keynote. Change can be hard…but it can also be more straightforward if you understand which brain networks to target.

We share a series of frameworks and models to give people confidence to understand and apply the science of behaviours. In times of frequent change, we need people to be able to keep up. Organisations that really understand how to change efficiently will have a competitive advantage.

Our brains do change throughout our life, by understanding how, you can intentionally influence the process – rather than undesirable changes creeping in. Come with the behaviours you want to change in mind and put them through the approaches we teach to start enjoying the benefits immediately.

As our understanding of the human brain expands, so does our ability to create workplaces where everyone—regardless of how their brain works—can thrive. But understanding neurodiversity isn’t just about being inclusive; it’s about unleashing the untapped potential within your teams by embracing differences.

In this keynote, Amy combines her professional expertise with her personal journey of educating and raising an autistic daughter to share profound insights into how people’s brains work differently—and why that’s a good thing. You’ll learn evidence-based approaches to foster collaboration, manage effectively, and work in harmony with diverse brain types.

This keynote offers practical strategies and an empathetic framework to empower leaders and teams to build environments where neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals can both perform at their best. Attendees will leave inspired, equipped, and ready to embrace the future of work with a new perspective on how to unlock potential across the spectrum of human diversity.

We all know we could be working smarter, not harder, but few of us know how to get there. Make Your Brain Work is a practical roadmap to achieving just that. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and behavioral science, this keynote shows audiences how to use their brains to work more efficiently, effectively, and sustainably.

Depending on the focus chosen for your audience, Amy explores one or more of the following key areas:

1. Personal Efficiencies: Learn how to master prioritization, minimize distractions, make better decisions, and set realistic goals.
2. Personal Effectiveness: Explore how self-awareness, learning agility, and habits shape your ability to achieve and adapt.
3. Self-Care & Wellbeing: Discover science-based strategies to manage stress, build resilience, and find a work-life balance that works.
4. Personal Productivity: Understand what drives motivation, engagement, and innovation in your daily work.
5. Leading & Managing People: Build psychological safety, create high-performing neural environments, and leverage the Hallmarks of High Performance to inspire your teams.

Audiences leave this keynote energised and equipped to take control of their performance and wellbeing. Whether it’s learning how to manage stress, stay focused, lead effectively, or embrace innovation, this session unlocks the potential of the most important tool they’ll ever have: their brain.
