Keynotes

Keynote by speaker Yemi Penn:

Igniting your Rebellious Curiosity

We are born into an inherited narrative of what works and what doesn’t. We learn to go through life without question until something goes wrong, but even then, at times, we still stay quiet for fear of retribution, eradicating creativity, and collaboration.

We learn to accept things because they are simply the way they are and have always been. This leads to people feeling unfulfilled, frustrated, and uninspired. Impacting their well-being and how they show up in life and at work.

Yemi Penn will not only inspire attendees but move them to action by sharing tools and challenging attendees to start with themselves by being curious about their belief systems and challenging the status quo in the process.

KEY TAKEAWAYS & IMMERSIONS:

Remembering the curiosity of the inner child.

Understanding that rebelling without kindness is counterproductive.

Finding creativity to collaboration.

An understanding and practical application of how to challenge the status quo to move things forward.

A handful of tools and anchors to bring about desired results from being curious.

Keynote by speaker Yemi Penn:

Liminal Thinking

Liminal means threshold. To solve problems, we will need to shift our perspectives and change the mindset in which these problems were created. This will require deconstruction of existing systems, requiring a bit of unreasonableness and the alchemy of bending reality. Yemi Penn will share her formula for bending reality, sharing how the boundaries that usually cage us can be used as props to bring about superior outcomes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS & IMMERSIONS:

Understand the key principles of Liminal thinking.

That thinking outside the box is redundant because there is no box inc. practical examples.

That acknowledging the elephant in the room and Emotional Intelligence resolves conflict, implementing ‘how’ this is done.

How you can as a leader create better relationships within organisations and teams.

A higher sense of compassion and understanding of those around you.

WHO THIS IS FOR:
Executives, Partners, Senior Leaders, Middle Management, Aspiring Leaders

How to be an Ally

We are living in disintegrated times, and so to do our part in creating a Just, Equal, Diverse, and Inclusive (JEDI) world, we will need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Through her research, Yemi shares how much the body keeps the score and builds unconscious bias in the most conscious of people.

These necessary conversations allow organisations to move from feeling thwarted to thriving due to the sense of belonging created for all individuals.

The bio-diversity in permaculture principles that relate to a diverse workforce.
