Speaking Topics 

Leading with Impact: Mastering the Art of Modern LeadershipIn this highly interactive keynote, Kirstin will entertain and challenge audience members to consider whether their leadership approach is still fit-for-purpose. Through the use of videos, storytelling, and her down-to-earth style, Kirstin will challenge each of us to think about how we can best role model leading with the head and heart amidst the competing demands on our time, and in an increasingly complex working environment.

Using the latest research from her bestselling book, Head & Heart: The Art of Modern Leadership, Kirstin will bring a leadership lens which is guaranteed to inspire attendees to be the most effective leader they can be.

This keynote is highly interactive with every participant able to complete their own Head & Heart Leader Scale™ and receive a personalised report which will help them understand their own areas for focus.

Kirstin adapts her content to your audience, industry or organisation so it is relevant for all attendees regardless of seniority.

Key takeaways –

An understanding of the key elements of head and heart leadership including the four head-based attributes (curiosity, wisdom, capability and perspective) as well as the four heart-based attributes (humility, self-awareness, courage and empathy)

A personalised Head & Heart Leader Scale report for each attendee allowing attendees to personally relate to the information being shared

Stories and case studies of how to practice the ‘art’ of modern leadership

Personal examples and anecdotes from Kirstin’s own 30 year leadership career from the military through to the boardroom
