Keynotes
Keynote by Jamie Catto:
Unleashing Corporate Creativity: From Blocked to Breakthrough
Access untapped creative potential within individuals and teams to drive innovation.
Many see productive creativity as something that ‘hopefully happens’ without direct and accessible tools to clearly Jamie invites audience members to efficiently awaken the creative force (that has often been long buried under expectations, fear and conformity and other unconscious blocks). Utilising his experience in highly successful film and music projects, along with Jungian shadow work and tools gathered on his many global travels, he demonstrates how each individual can access an available stream of creativity and innovation. Through illuminating examples, attendees are shown how to free themselves from internal blocks, shed masks of perfection, and switch on their innate creativity and inspiration at will. Using humour, vulnerability and presence, Jamie helps shift culture from blame and inertia to curiosity and real results. The outcome: soaring engagement, richer communication, and abundant creativity.

The Power of Authentic Connection in the Workplace
Building stronger teams and more effective communication by embracing empathy and humanity
Mental health days and absence days are soaring to record highs in the business sector. The epidemic of loneliness and lack of genuine connection is a massive limitation on the productivity and thriving atmosphere we need in the workplace. Although often shied away from, empathy and vulnerability can become corporate superpowers. Jamie shows team members how to safely lower their guards and masks, and to instead gradually dare to be more authentic, trusting and genuinely feel part of the team. He demonstrates how letting go of “performance” fosters honesty and connection, in a workplace culture of playfulness and honesty which ends miscommunication as teams bond around a shared purpose.
Keynote by Jamie Catto:
Transforming Challenges into Rocket Fuel: The Art of Corporate Resilience
Reframe obstacles, learn from setbacks, and turn "shadows" into powerful drivers for growth
Jamie turns corporate adversities into opportunities, guiding audiences to efficiently reframe obstacles as invitations, not threats, and to use “shadow work” to convert setbacks into fuel. With the correct tools and framing it is possible to transform all so-called failures into discoveries and use the willingness to take sensible risks to harvest all kinds of treasure that is usually unavailable to the hiding, fear-based, performance-anxious workforce. With real world examples, Jamie helps audience members meet and draw immediate benefits from their fears and doubts, and partner with them so that they can bounce back stronger with visionary ideas and a renewed sense of purpose and confidence.
