A fast, funny, story-driven keynote about the invisible limits that hold smart teams back. Felix shows how organisations drift into learned helplessness, status quo bias, and “safe” thinking – often without realising it – and why intelligence alone does not protect us from these traps.

Using memorable stories, sharp observation, and real-world examples, Felix reveals how assumptions harden into habits, how success can quietly shrink ambition, and how well-meaning systems end up capping imagination. He then gives leaders practical tools to spot the lid, challenge inherited thinking, and replace automatic caution with deliberate curiosity. The keynote equips teams to make imaginative thinking a repeatable habit, not a one-off brainstorm, and helps leaders create environments where better ideas are noticed, tested, and acted on.

A high-energy, sharply funny talk that reframes failure as data, not identity. Felix explores how fear quietly shapes behaviour in high-performing organisations, driving caution, perfectionism, and overthinking long before anyone notices the cost.

Audiences learn why smart people often become risk-averse, how reputational anxiety slows decision-making, and how organisations accidentally punish learning while claiming to value it. Felix shares practical behaviours that help leaders normalise intelligent failure, recover faster when things go wrong, and separate judgement from outcomes. Participants leave with a clearer, healthier relationship with risk – and concrete ways to build a culture where people take ownership, experiment responsibly, and build momentum rather than waiting for certainty.

A punchy, practical keynote for legal and professional-services audiences navigating the real impact of AI on their work. Felix cuts through hype and fear to explain what AI will commoditise, where human value increases, and how firms can stay ahead rather than react late.

He translates technology into clear business implications – pricing, delivery models, talent development, client expectations, and trust – and shows how AI reshapes what clients are really paying for. The focus is not on tools, but on judgement. Felix highlights the enduring human edge that machines cannot replicate: contextual decision-making, creativity, ethical reasoning, empathy, and the ability to inspire client confidence. The result is a grounded, future-focused talk that helps professionals think strategically about their role in an AI-shaped market.

A lively keynote about turning global scale into a competitive advantage rather than a coordination headache. Felix shows how national silos form naturally, why “local optimisation” quietly kills learning, and how success in one market often fails to travel.

Through stories and practical examples, he reveals how incentives, pride, and speed combine to block collaboration – even in well-intentioned organisations. Felix then shares clear leadership moves that enable faster knowledge transfer, smarter reuse of ideas, and stronger cross-office collaboration. Leaders leave with practical ways to turn global networks into engines of learning, accelerate innovation, and create repeatable wins across borders without adding bureaucracy.

A highly engaging talk on the leadership skill most strategies forget: narrative. Felix explains why data rarely changes behaviour on its own, how stories shape belief and identity, and why people act when they can see themselves in the future being described.

Drawing on his background in broadcasting and storytelling, Felix breaks down the mechanics of persuasive narrative and shows how leaders can turn complex strategy into clarity people remember. He shares practical techniques to craft stories that travel, align teams, and create momentum. Whether you are selling a strategy, leading change, or winning clients, this keynote shows how to turn vision into a message people repeat, believe, and act on.
