Performance & Wellbeing

Across organisations and industries, modern work increasingly feels like sprinting a marathon every day.

Endless unproductive meetings and constant distractions across dozens of communications channels leave employees feeling hopelessly overwhelmed.

Too often, “improving performance” consists of little more than piling yet more onto already full plates. Too many “wellbeing” initiatives are tokenistic Band Aids on bullet holes: fruit bowls or foosball tables in the kitchen, mindfulness classes for people too busy to attend them.

Sound familiar?

If your people are doing too much and doing it ineffectively, the solution is simple: do less.

But that’s easier said than done.

Making the change means changing behaviour and that’s hard to do.

A behavioural solution helps you unpack what’s really going on, understand the organisational and psychological barriers to behaviour change, and develop strategies to remove those barriers and sustainably, measurably change behaviour.

Together, we’ll unpack why it’s human nature to say “yes” and why we default to adding more. We’ll uncover the day-to-day behaviours that will help you and your team be more effective and less overwhelmed, including:

  • Running fewer and better meetings
  • Encouraging constructive challenge
  • Subtracting rather than adding
  • Regaining control of technology

Inspire, entertain, and educate your team with an engaging Keynote.

Quickly understand barriers and design practical interventions to shift behaviour with the 1-day Behaviour Lab.

Go deeper to really understand what shapes behaviours in your team and what’s stopping change, and develop an intervention plan and a measurement approach with a 4-week Behaviour Sprint.
