Leadership

“Great leadership is about social capital and human connection.”

Martin shares his lived experience and draws on the everyday lessons from frontline operations in the Middle East and the Pacific to the corporate boardroom.

From the bridge of a warship in a perfect storm, Martin guides us to what we need to do to lean into everyday leadership.

Emotional Competence

“People will feel like conscripts unless you become emotionally competent.”

The moment you realise that you’re not “floating anyone’s boat”, it’s a sign you need to change the way you lead people.

Through personal change and growth, Martin shares how he turned failure around by understanding that the greatest asset we have is the capacity to be emotionally competent.

Teamwork

“You create margin when you know how to develop a high performing team.”

Building up a team of people doesn’t come from simply barking orders at them. In this keynote, Martin reminds us that if you want a high performing team when the chips are down; it is what you do today that will make them instantly put up their hand to help, instead of simply wondering whether they should.
