Brain 101: Mental acuity = resilience

Delve into the fascinating world of neuroscience and unravel the profound mysteries of your own mind in my keynote, 'Brain 101: Mental Agility = Resilience.' Despite all of us having a brain, only a handful truly comprehend its capabilities, necessities, and the secret to unlocking its peak performance. This presentation is set to change that.

Engage in an exciting journey to discover your primal brain - the 'engine room' of your consciousness that silently influences over 90% of your decision making. Far from a traditional keynote, this session places you at the heart of the discovery process through an extraordinary real-world 'experiment.' You will be led through a series of experiences and insights that will make you question the power of your own mind and your own perception of reality.

During this highly interactive session, we will shed light on the operations of the subconscious mind, revealing how its primal instincts and patterns shape our daily lives, decisions, and overall resilience. We will also explore practical strategies to hone your mental agility, a key factor in fostering resilience and achieving personal and professional success. This keynote will provide you with a unique blend of science, discovery, and practical applications, leading you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your limitless potential.

Defining moments

The content for this session will explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. This session will help participants discover the psychology of what defines a memorable 'experience' and why we can remember a peak experience up to 20 years later. In a world full of challenges, we tend to feel most comfortable when things are certain but we can learn to feel most alive when they are not. We will work on the concept of 'breaking the script’ and influencing our own lives and the lives of those around us every single time

Generational leadership: Embracing age diversity in the modern workforce

Generational identity, though often overlooked, plays a significant role in shaping our experiences, perspectives, and interactions in the workplace. Like an invisible hand, the era in which we were born influences our world views, social trends understanding, economic realities, behavioural norms, and interpretations of leadership.

Today, five distinct generations coexist in the workforce. A rapidly evolving landscape, where approximately 40% of us report to younger managers, and the power dynamics are increasingly shifting towards youth, largely driven by Digital Intelligence (DQ). From fledgeling startups to global giants, young digital leaders are reshaping the contours of leadership, yet we often expect them to instinctively grasp the relational wisdom that their older counterparts have spent years mastering.

This keynote delves into the complex interplay between generational diversity and leadership. We'll examine evidence demonstrating that gender, ethnic, and age diversity contribute significantly to an organisation's success. However, we'll also confront the challenging realities of age diversity, exploring strategies to navigate and leverage these differences effectively. By understanding and appreciating the unique strengths, perspectives, and challenges each generation brings to the table, we can foster more inclusive, productive, and dynamic workplaces.

Get ready to debunk age-related stereotypes, challenge your assumptions, and discover the transformative potential of generational
leadership.

Hardwired for change: The human capacity to adapt and transform

Challenge the norms, question the status quo, and step into the paradox of human adaptability!

This provocative exploration confronts the long-held belief that humans resist change, instead proposing an alternative reality - what if we are, in fact, naturally inclined to adapt and evolve?

Does merely considering this question unsettle your established beliefs or challenge your existing knowledge? What if the real fear
isn't change itself but the potential loss that the change might represent?

In this enlightening keynote, we dive deep into the physiology, neurology, and psychology of change. We dissect our physical capability to regenerate and adapt, explore the neurological underpinnings of our response to change, and delve into the psychological aspects of our perceived resistance to it. Through this comprehensive approach, I aim to unravel the true essence of our relationship with change.
Join me as I debunk myths, shatter misconceptions, and discover our innate ability to embrace change.

This keynote is not merely a presentation; it's a journey to rediscovering our inherent adaptability and resilience. So, are you ready to embrace the truth of your evolutionary journey?

The future of human behaviour: How we will live, work & consume in a rapidly changing world

In a world hurtling toward AI integration, neural interfaces, and digital-first identity, the ability to understand human behaviour isn’t just a competitive advantage—it’s a survival skill.

Enter Milo Wilkinson. A Behavioural Scientist trained in criminal science, neuroscience, and leadership psychology—with seven degrees and clients spanning Fortune 100 boardrooms, elite sports teams, and high-security interrogations—Milo doesn’t guess where behaviour is heading. She predicts it.

In this mind-expanding keynote, Milo exposes the psychological and neurological shifts driving how we’ll live, work, and consume over the next decade. From the death of ownership to the rise of digital fashion, from AI-driven matchmaking to slow content outperforming viral videos—Milo’s presentation is less trend forecasting and more behavioural decoding.

Expect case studies from Gucci’s virtual sneakers to Patagonia’s reverse marketing campaign to Neuralink’s brain-AI interface, each deconstructed to show what’s really happening in the human psyche— and what that means for your brand, business, and leadership strategy.

Why this keynote?

Because it’s not enough to talk about what’s next. We need to understand why humans will behave the way they will. That’s where this keynote thrives—at the intersection of behavioural science, innovation, and market influence.

Perfect for: Visionary leaders, investors, futurists, CMOs, founders, behavioural strategists, and anyone responsible for staying ahead of what people really want.

This isn’t a presentation. It’s a masterclass in decoding the future human

The neuroscience of belonging: Designing leadership that connects

What if the future of high performance didn’t hinge on KPIs, but on whether people feel they belong?

In this high-impact session, I take leaders deep into the neuroscience and behavioural reality of belonging—revealing why it’s the next frontier beyond psychological safety. Audiences will explore how the brain responds to inclusion, exclusion, and why the absence of belonging is processed as physical pain. Through powerful storytelling, cutting-edge research, and provocative reflection points, leaders will learn why belonging is not a soft skill—it’s a biological survival driver that impacts cognition, loyalty, and organisational performance. From infant bias experiments to oxytocin’s role in trust, I demystify the science and translate it into everyday leadership behaviours that stick.

Key Takeaways:

  • Discover why the brain processes exclusion like physical pain—and how that impacts performance.
  • Learn how to replace “fitting in” culture with true belonging through small leadership behaviours. 
  • Understand the “ingroup vs outgroup” neurological bias and how leaders can rewire it.
  • Walk away with a leadership action plan to embed belonging into team rituals and decision-making.

Trust matters: Unraveling the psychology of trust in relationships and beyond

Dive into a profound exploration of one of the most vital elements in human relationships: trust. My keynote offers a compelling journey into the underpinnings, significance, and practical aspects of trust in both professional and personal contexts.

Trust, a seemingly simple concept, plays a foundational role in our lives. It is the invisible glue that holds relationships together and the catalyst that facilitates collaboration, mutual respect, and shared understanding. But where does it originate, and why is it such a critical component in our relationships?

In this illuminating keynote, we will delve into the origins of trust, its psychological underpinnings, and its powerful impact on our interactions. We navigate the subtle complexities of building trust, enhancing existing trusting relationships, and - crucially - recovering trust when it has been damaged.

Addressing these and more nuanced aspects, we promise to provide you with:

  1. A comprehensive understanding of the psychology of trust, tracing its roots and its role in our lives.
  2. Practical strategies for building and nurturing trust in various contexts, from the boardroom to the living room.
  3. Actionable insights on how to restore trust once it has been broken, fostering healing, and reinstating productive interactions.

By the end of this keynote, you will be equipped with a greater understanding of trust's role and the tools to harness its power, creating more trusting, productive, and meaningful relationships in all areas of your life. It's an opportunity to reassess, rediscover, and reinvigorate the trust you place in others and the trust you inspire. Are you ready to make trust a strength?
