Yemi spoke at ANSTO’s International Women’s Day event. 2020 has been tough – for everyone and in many different ways. However, Yemi’s message of resilience and perspective was the exact message we needed to get through a challenging year. Yemi is engaging, raw and challenges the status quo. Our team was inspired by her bravery to share, which created an atmosphere for growth and vulnerability. For those looking to embed their learnings in a fun and practical way, Yemi’s book ‘Did You Get the Memo’ will add another dimension to your self growth toolkit.

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.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
All levels in business, Senior Managers, Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs, Executives, Small & Medium sized business owners

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.

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.
Through keynotes, deep dives and immersions, Yemi holds the space for uncomfortable yet necessary conversations that are typically avoided because it is just too hard. These necessary conversations allow organisations to move from feeling thwarted to thriving due to the sense of belonging created for all individuals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS AND IMMERSIONS:
Understanding and application of the ‘Wheel of Power/Privilege’.
The bio-diversity in permaculture principles that relate to a diverse workforce.
Deconstructing belief systems for individuals and organisations.
An understanding that the most flexible person influences the environment and what this looks like in real life.
A sense of belonging for all.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
Executives, Senior Leaders, Charity and Not-for-Profit organisations, Media organisation
