If we can’t see where it is we need to go, what are our chances of getting there? If your team or your members can’t see where you’re going, what are the chances they’ll get on-board?

In navigating change, and overcoming the challenges that come with it, we need to address the foundation; the root cause of why we often get stuck or disengaged, and that is, how we perceive change in the first place.

The kicker? How we see is a choice...

Expected Outcomes:

This keynote presentation is designed to hit “reset” on how your team sees their role in your organization. Expect them to come away empowered, engaged, inspired and ready to take action. They’ll begin to see challenges and opportunities with fresh perspectives and renewed vision.

Key Takeaways:

• An understanding of the incredible importance of mindset, and how perception is the most important factor when it comes to limiting, or improving, our performance.
• Specific tools and techniques to help break through the barriers that limit us.
• How to develop strategies to counter inevitable setbacks that always come when pursuing big goals.

2025 has been a year of disruption—and that trend shows no signs of slowing down. As we move into 2026, the Age of Uncertainty is becoming the new normal.

We can either be at the mercy of constant change, or we can choose to be proactive—finding opportunity in the midst of challenge, even when the curveballs come our way.

The key to thriving lies not in simply weathering the storm, but in using it to our advantage. When we disrupt ourselves first, we move beyond merely accepting change to embracing it as a catalyst for growth and achievement.

Expected Outcomes:

• This presentation gives attendees the confidence to see change not as an obstacle, but as a catalyst for personal and team growth.
• Expect a mindset shift—from reactive to responsive, from avoidance to action.

Key Takeaways:

• Practical self-disruption tools to maintain a critical edge.
• A clear outline of a simple resilience practice.
• Specific, real-time micro-strategies to strengthen resilience under pressure.

“Like a ship in harbor, we’re safe in our comfort zones—but that safety limits our potential for growth and innovation.”

If there’s one certainty, in business and in life, it’s that we will all face challenges; that we will all, at some point be faced with a seeming insurmountable obstacle or obstacles. When that happens, our greatest ally is found in our ability to endure; to adapt. When that happens, it pays to have banked some resilience.

This keynote presentation focuses on what we can do to prepare for our challenges in advance. On how we can fortify ourselves against the curveballs and roadblocks before they happen by practicing resilience.

Expected Outcomes:

This keynote presentation is designed to move your team from “I can’t” to “Bring it!” To instill the understanding that by facing our challenges; seeking them out even, we build the strength and resilience required when bigger problems come our way.

Key Takeaways:

• An understanding of how resilience is banked and is transferable across all areas of our lives.
• Specific tools and techniques to build resilience.
• Learn that “Bouncing Back” is just the beginning. By practicing resilience, we position ourselves to Bounce Forward towards our goals.

We’ve all heard it a million times; “change is constant”, “the only certainty in life is change”, “change or perish”. We all know it; what we need is for someone to show us how to deal with it. Warren’s “Challenge of Change” presentation will help your group realize that challenges brought on by change hold endless opportunities for innovation and personal and professional growth. That it’s the challenges we face that build the resilience we need as we’re asked to do more, with less . . . That it is possible to not just survive, but to thrive despite adversity.

Expected Outcomes:

You’ll learn to see change as an inevitable, ongoing process that we’re all engaged with; not just something that “happens to us”. That by changing the way we see change, changes everything… You’ll never look at adversity in the same way again.

Key Takeaways:

• Foster the ability to recognize and breakthrough mental barriers to change.
• Tools to build resilience for both business and personal growth.
• A powerful shift in thinking that will put challenges into perspective.
• Develop a breakthrough mindset that seeks solutions and opportunities.

It’s all well and good to set seemingly impossible goals; the kind that has your team looking at you like you’re nuts. Like this time you’ve really lost it . . . You need them to see what you see. You need to convince them, to inspire your team to follow you. To show them what is possible when you’re prepared to go One Step Beyond…

• Beyond ordinary
• Beyond conventional
• Beyond perceived limitations

Expected Outcomes:

You can expect your team to become engaged in raising the performance bar.

Key Takeaways:

• Reinforced understanding of the power of purpose, i.e.: when we have purpose, we have an edge.
• The ability to see obstacles as stepping-stones toward our goals.
• A clear understanding of the importance of preparation in reaching your goals.

Take a lesson from someone who has seen his world change on a scale few could imagine… Waking from the operation that claimed both legs, Warren woke to a whole new world, a whole new reality. Navigating a new world takes courage, that’s for sure, but our number one tool in creating our future is PERCEPTION.

We need a vision for the kind of world we want to live in. Make no mistake, the world changed in March 2020; it will never be the same again. You can react to that statement with fear, or apathy, or straight out denial, or you can respond from a place of possibility. We have an opportunity now to create something new; something better. But we need to see it first.

Warren Macdonald can help us form that vision for a new world, a better world.

In this keynote presentation, Warren shares the lessons and tools he’s used to create a remarkable life from what many would have considered a “game over” scenario.

Expected Outcomes:

• The resilience and ability to adapt to the new economy.
• A sense of responsibility leading to ownership and engagement.
• Excitement and hope instead of fear for the future.

One of life’s certainties is that nothing stays the same; the current crisis is cold, hard evidence of that. Creating a mindset that seeks solutions, that looks for opportunities rather than obstacles amidst uncertainty may well be the best investment you’ll ever make.

As a keynote speaker, Warren presents at thirty to forty events each year on topics ranging from navigating change to setting impossible goals.

He often says that the moments he feels the strongest connection with an audience are when he shares his patient’s story as a healthcare speaker with professionals in the healthcare field.

He has seen firsthand what they do. He has been there, on the receiving end.

He had never been in hospital before until that night, after being rescued off of the side of a remote mountain, when he was wheeled on a stretcher into their world…

Ten days in intensive care; a month in the first hospital, then seven months of rehabilitation; learning how to live as a double above knee amputee…

He knows that what they do makes a difference, and he has some ideas and some thoughts to share with them through his patient’s testimony for those times when he thinks they forget that they make a difference…

He has put together a presentation especially for them, as people who deal with situations of consequence on a daily basis, to remind them of the importance of the work they do; of the difference they make.

Expected Outcomes:
The big picture aim of this presentation is to validate the importance of the work they do; whether they’re front-line practitioners or clinicians; caregivers or caseworkers or hospital administrators.

Second to that is to share an example of the results that can be achieved in quality of care when a client-centered (or patient-centered) approach or model is adopted—when healthcare professionals partner with their patients to achieve a common goal.

Key Takeaways:

• Validation of the importance of the role they play. They make a difference!
• Strategies to improve the quality of care they deliver.
• The importance of perception in their role in healthcare, both in how they see their patients and how they see themselves.
