Ronan is a leading global voice on the intersection of resilience, performance, and human potential.

His pioneering Resilient Performance Method is trusted by some of the world’s most respected organisations—among them, the UK Treasury, Oxford University, KPMG, L’Oréal, and Deloitte. It empowers teams to excel without impacting their wellbeing.

In high-demand environments where burnout is often the cost of ambition, Ronan offers a compelling alternative: sustainable excellence driven by resilience.

Previously appointed as a Futurist to the UK Foreign Office, Ronan foresaw the systemic upheavals now defining our era. Today, he integrates this predictive insight with resilience science to future-proof teams under mounting pressure.

His keynotes are dynamic, deeply relevant, and grounded in evidence. Ronan doesn’t just inspire—he equips audiences with practical strategies they can put into action straight away.

At the heart of his work is lived experience. After suffering a career-defining burnout that left him with a chronic pain condition, Ronan made resilience not just a profession, but a personal imperative.

That ongoing journey gives his message rare authenticity. He doesn’t speak from theory alone—he speaks from the front line of experience, helping teams connect, adapt, and perform in the moments that matter most.

He tells his resilience story through sharing deeply moving lived experiences, anchoring it with compelling science, breathing it to life with humour and relatability – a rare, powerful alchemy that goes so far beyond a typical “keynote speaker” it seems a miss to even refer to it as that. Essential. Inspirational. Human.”
