Full Presenter Profile & Bio

At the heart of any successful negotiation is the ability to seamlessly facilitate a successful exchange. That exchange may be financial, a service exchange, an information exchange or a simple handshake. Irrespective of the type of exchange, those who are able to build trust and harness intentional influence in that intersection are the leaders empowered to create positive outcomes for every stakeholder in that exchange. It is in the moments ‘in between’ the exchange where we must learn to translate, transform and direct.

Speaker Topics

The Influence Exchange
We have entered a new age in business, where those who have the power to influence have built trust and credibility with their target audience. The art of influence is nuanced, deliberate yet delicate, and often found in the spaces in between formalities, in the moments, the mannerisms, and the magic in each exchange. In this presentation, Bronwyn takes the audience through a step by step process highlighting the tools she has tried and tested in persuading some of the largest global financial firms to shift more than 20 billion dollars into more sustainable investments. She has mastered executive translation across countries, cultures and industry sectors. Audiences will walk away from this presentation with a suite of skills to help build metaphorical bridges that deeply connect and create influence. Bronwyn shares empowering strategies to build authority that can make or break business negotiations on an interpersonal level, within teams, cultures and industry sectors, both locally and on a global scale.
The Purpose Exchange
Digitisation has undeniably redefined the landscape of business. Consumers have never been more informed or able to express a point of view about the implications of business activities. As a result, consumer expectations have transformed. Trust, transparency, ethics and accountability for social impact has ignited a new kind of trade. In this presentation, Bronwyn unlocks a step by step process, inspiring audiences to explore and identify strategies to embed purpose into the fabric of business. She challenges leaders to prepare for the next economy, one that is driven by purpose, sustainable profits and authentic transactions. Audiences will walk away from this presentation able to identify, articulate and integrate the kind of change that is good for business, good for people and good for the world. At the heart of this topic, is the notion that the future of business needs to be built upon sustainable foundations. After all, without people or the planet, profit ceases to exist.
The Success Exchange
Success. We all want it, but what does it really take to join an elite group of high performing human beings who have the attributes to lead, to start a movement, to be the best, the fastest or a cut above? While some may argue elite performers are born that way, Dr. Bronwyn King believes that success is a choice if we are willing to accept the exchange. So, what does it cost to be the best? In this presentation, Dr. Bronwyn decodes what it really takes to win in business and life. As the head doctor for the Australian swim team, in addition to founding an internationally recognised, UN affiliated global movement, she understands the processes, practices, and perseverance required to perform at the highest level. Audiences will walk away with unique insights into the exchange required for success. What conscious choices bridge the gap between the mediocre and those who appear to perform miracles whether that be in sport, business or in driving social impact and world change.
