Audiences are introduced to practical tools and strategies for managing pseudo-productive and overly stressful knowledge work environments, empowering them to shift to a model of sustainable high performance.
Ronan’s expertise and speaking capabilities have been widely recognized. He is a LinkedIn Top Voice on Public Speaking and was voted among the top five Best Storytellers at the 2023 Speaker Awards, a testament to his industry recognition and confidence in his audience.
Industry leaders work with him because he has a true gift for inspiring audiences. Ronan’s jaw-dropping story is a cautionary tale about the pressures of senior leadership and the lasting consequences when we get it wrong.
A former futurist to the British Foreign Office, Ronan shares how he went from the corridors of power to being diagnosed with a lifetime chronic pain condition. It’s rare that a keynote speaker vulnerably shares what it’s like to be amidst ongoing adversity. With depth and wisdom, Ronan shows us what resilience truly means.
“Ronan gave the key-note speech to all 200 of our Senior FS Consulting Leaders on the topic of ‘resilience versus endurance’. His story was incredibly moving and the way he articulated the difference between general wellness matters and, more specifically, symptoms of burnout was hugely insightful and really resonated with the room. More importantly, his approach required us to hold a mirror up to our everyday lives and reflect on how we are all taking care of ourselves and our teams. Our Leadership Team are still talking about it and it has prompted a very healthy and open discussion about how we build resilience for ourselves and our people. Thank you Ronan – you were brilliant.”
“I left Ronan’s talk truly speechless and determined to take better care of myself. 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.”
“Ronan is a world class resilience teacher. His ability to connect leaders with themselves and each other is rare.”
