I bring a breadth of business and cultural insights to your business.

Hire me as Keynote speaker to introduce new thinking and promote debate in your organisation. Or as a CEO advisor and mentor or director on your Board.

Embedding Flow in your Business

You are organising a strategy day or away day to support your team with space to reflect and take on a broader perspective. Or you are planning a Town Hall meeting where you want to introduce some new thinking and ideas to promote discussion and debate? These are the types of events I love to speak at.

As a Keynote Speaker, some of the themes I have written and spoken about are:

Listening – value, impact

  • Impact of your undivided, pure attention

  • Listening for what’s unsaid

  • Time to Think  - impact of silence

  • Our Ego and why we find it hard to listen 

  • Listening with our whole body, mind, soul and system

 

Finding Flow

  • The world we live in – busy, data

  • The way we live – structured, organised, control

  • Free play, free draw – Where has flow gone?

  • What is Flow

  • How to Find your Flow?

Work/Life Balance – Myth or Reality?

  • Today’s new working world

  • Importance of boundaries

  • Liking to be liked/successful influencing

  • Finding balance is making choices

  • Persistence makes change happen

“Elaine provided great insight, perspective and support to me when I sold my business. From her solid financial acumen, to her insightful questions, to talking out the big decisions as well as getting the smaller things done, Elaine’s supported the process end to end. Her mentoring style is in partnership and can be challenging when needed. Elaine is great to work with, she is invested in her clients and very authentic in her approach.”

— Barry Byrne, ICT Project Management

I have lead many teams and businesses.  I know and understand the challenges, pressure, the personal sacrifice that often go with running a business; along with the pride and sense of achievement of realising a goal, delivering on a strategic objective, building a business.

 

I enjoy looking at a problem from a new perspective and challenging the status quo. I love working side by side great leaders through a difficult period be that a sale, an acquisition, first year in a role, offering a listening ear, fresh eyes and an objective perspective.
