The Role of Psychological Safety in Performance & Growth
Has your organisation understood the power of Psychological Safety in driving success?
As the term Psychological Safety gathers momentum, many leaders are yet to understand, or fully find confidence in, the power of safety, inclusion and listening in the workplace.
This keynote looks at the path to fostering trust and recognising the impact of psychological safety and empathetic culture on performance, results, innovation and growth. Leveraging regional and global data, Mimi unpacks the connection between employees feeling supported and valued and the direct impact on risk taking, loyalty, commitment, productive collaboration, improved performance and innovation. She unveils the correlation between psychological safety, employee engagement, and retention rates and fuses data with the human condition. In so doing, she creates a case so compelling that it is impossible for the audience not to want to embrace the future of multigenerational and inclusive workplaces.
Listening-Led Leadership
Is your leadership team embracing the Power of Communication in Building Impactful Relationships and Results?
Listening-Led Leadership and Organisational Empathy are rapidly taking centre stage in the future of leadership discussion, but are your leaders equipped with the skillsets to embrace the needs to today’s workforce? In this keynote, Mimi looks at how communication and cross organisational dialogue creation cultivates trust, loyalty and consistency. She uses data and global case studies to drive the connection between ‘open room’ leadership that moves from simply having an ‘open door’ to actively hearing, motivating and engaging with the organisation consistently and effectively. Looking at value perception and employee scores, as well as human performance drivers and strategies for building and maintaining strong connections, she unpacks where leadership success lies today and the simple steps to ensure we are all moving there at speed.
The Business Case for Diversity and Inclusion
Are you already embracing the Performance and Motivational Power of Integration and Inclusion?
Bringing a unique perspective to the D&I discussion Mimi connects the power of emotional intelligence and empathetically data-driven organisations in driving the effectiveness and authenticity of D&I success. Focusing on a human centric and consistent approach to organisational curiosity and ommunication, Mimi moves beyond the more traditional conversation around quota’s and ethics, and looks at fuelling innovation in dialogue creation and communication as driving inclusion. She talks to deeply understanding the potential of diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds and how this leads to better problem-solving and decision-making in global, multigenerational, multicultural teams. Pulling on her personal leadership experience in over 25 markets and cultures, she focuses on embracing communication, fostering adaptability and empowering connection to unlock the full potential, productivity and engagement of teams.
