How to enable people to be self-motivated, have fun and achieve mammoth results
You got through one of the most turbulent times in recent memory. Well done!
Now, you managed to lead your people back to some measure of normality. Well done again. You’ve dealt with the initial drama that caused. Well done yet again!

In this session Leon will help you ensure your people and teams have the conditions to achieve mammoth results.

Joy at work
As business leaders we track useful metrics like increased growth, increased productivity and increased employee retention. But what is the best way to achieve these?
The best way is to focus on enabling employees to enjoy work rather than endure it! As a business leader himself, Leon knows how hard it is to run a business but after asking 100s of leaders and employees what enables them to come alive at work he found something surprising. The times they describe coming alive are when they are growing, productive and don’t want to go anywhere.
Whether you are a leader or an employee, in Leon’s masterclass you will learn what we all need to enable us to thrive!
Key takeaways:
- How to enable creativity through vulnerability
- How to have difficult conversations
- How to create a shared vision to focus on what matters
Smart conflict resolution at work
As a great leader you are focused on what is best for your employees as well as your business but at some point conflict with employees is inevitable and even necessary. How you resolve conflict and engage employees in your company vision will determine whether you feel like you are are delivering your world class product or service whilst gliding on ice or battling through treacle.
In this session we will explore how to resolve conflict so that your can focus on doing what you love. Unless you know what to look for, conflict can hijack your best intentions. In this keynote, Leon will help you and your senior leaders align your employees needs with your business needs and get the best out of your staff and teams.
Key takeaways:
- Learn to listen deeper to succeed in business
