Why do so many of us fear and resist change and how can we learn to embrace it? We are managing more change at a faster pace than at any other time in history. In the midst of so much uncertainty even the most flexible among us can be stretched to breaking point. Incorporating fascinating insights from biological and behavioural science, in this groundbreaking talk Ruth builds a new understanding of the deeper reasons uncertainty is so destabilizing, giving audiences a transformational toolkit to build their capacity to not just tolerate change, but embrace it as an instrumental part of work and life success.

We don’t always get to choose what happens to us, but we do get to choose how we
respond. Learn proven and empowering strategies to develop a radical ownership mindset, reframe challenges as growth and stay hopeful, motivated and feeling in control in out-ofcontrol times. From a resilience expert who has overcome enormous challenges from a very young age, this session will not only boost your productivity, it will change your life.

Underneath our professional facades, we are all flawed and vulnerable human beings who want to feel valued, cared for and like we belong. While many businesses try to keep the messiness of our humanity out of the office by erecting walls between people’s real and work selves, this approach fails to build the trust and connection that drives true innovation, collaboration and engagement. In this talk you will learn how a human-first approach not only creates stronger and more authentic work relationships, it harnesses the natural energy and drive of individuals leading to greater business success.
