Overview

The current economic environment means that more often than not, training budgets are tight and people have less time for training and development (needing to do more with less).  However the need to continuously develop learning and keep people engaged has never been more critical.  Businesses want and need a more tangible and immediate ROI on training and development. Current research also points clearly to the effectiveness of modular learning; short, sharp shots of content.  

All keynotes are founded on:

  • Purpose: defining and understanding the outcome for a session
  • Innovation: providing an opportunity to think differently and to generate ideas
  • Results: refining outputs into actions so that the team ultimately achieves a result

Options for delivery:

Power Hour (60mins)

Book one of Business Results Group’s expert presenters for a truly unique keynote experience.  This straight forward 60-minute program of your choice is ideal for events, company conferences, executive breakaways, motivational sessions and onsite fly backs.

Every keynote we deliver is unique, powerful and adapted for each client and context.

Sprints (90mins)

This approach combines a 90-minute keynote sprint with a facilitated strategic dialogue session. The keynote energises the team and provides fast learning of relevant content, whilst the facilitated conversation affords an opportunity to directly apply and embed that learning within to your own unique organisational context.

Be Really Great Series

An excellent way to get exposure to a broad range of world class content is to design your own day of learning.  Select from a range of 60 minute keynotes to energise, motivate and drive key learning concepts to your teams. Ensure immediate skills transfer and application of learning into business whilst maximising return and value for investment. This is also a very cost effective way to get exposure to a wide range of content or judge the organisational fit of a larger training intervention.

The Multipliers Keynote explores why some leaders seem to amplify the intelligence of people on their team, while others seem to drain it. ‘Multipliers’ have mastered the art of attracting talent and getting more done with far fewer resources. What could you do if you were accessing your team’s full intelligence?

  • This keynote unpacks the Multipliers Model developed by Liz Wiseman to understand the disciplines that distinguish Multiplier and Diminisher behaviours
  • The six ‘Accidental Diminisher’ management behaviours are unpacked in order to understand how they disengage teams
  • The Extreme Question Challenge (A key Multiplying tool) is presented and practiced which immediately brings up a natural Multiplying style

Innovation is no longer optional—it’s the engine of competitive advantage. Yet too often, organisations rely on drawn-out brainstorming sessions or chance breakthroughs to generate new ideas. This dynamic keynote introduces a more structured and reliable approach to unlocking fresh perspectives and building differentiated business models.

The session demonstrates how to deliberately shift perspective and challenge conventional assumptions to generate new possibilities. It equips leaders and teams with practical tools and techniques that accelerate idea generation and move thinking beyond the obvious.

At a strategic level, the keynote builds a clear case for embedding innovation into how the business operates. At a practical level, it shows how these approaches can be applied every day to solve real challenges, unlock opportunities, and actively involve teams in stronger, more effective decision-making.

In a world of ever increasing challenges and fast paced change, it’s critical that we start with a belief in what’s possible, and our own place in that world of possibility. This powerful keynote is presented by three times World Championship Ironman athlete and successful entrepreneur Kirsty Thompson.  Kirsty uses each element of an Ironman Triathlon race to draw parallels around what it takes to achieve;  Belief, Focus, and Endurance.  She will share with your team what it takes to succeed when the goals are big and the road ahead is both uncertain and long. Belief is critical to innovation. Focus is essential to get results. Endurance breeds a deeper sense of purpose. Kirsty is passionate that this drive to achieve (in whatever area of life) is something that we should nurture.

  • This keynote explores the generation of a believe in your own effectiveness and efficiency, your own skills and capacity and that of the goal at hand
  • Patience and the drive to stay focused
  • Resilience and the ability to tap into your own inner ‘grit’ and drive forward when the going gets tough
  • This is an ideal presentation for teams going through tough times, with tough goals and a big target to hit. At the end of this presenation participants will have insight into the courage that it takes to get ahead, and begin to believe that “Anything is possible”

95% of workplace communication is informal and in the high-pressure, time-scarce knowledge economy of today, effective communication is critical. Credible Communication is a 90 minute keynote which explores the importance of being able to to analyse, organise and present your ideas fast and how structure can be used effectively to communicate with clarity, brevity, and impact.

  • This keynote unpacks how credible communication is becoming a core business skill
  • 3 (of the 10) frameworks are selected to share with the team (based on a needs analysis pre-workshop questionnaire) which will improve your credibility and confidence and listener retention through application of simple frameworks
  • Effective structure provides participants with the tools to explain complex ideas clearly, get to the point, be more persuasive and respond on the spot

The Human Firewall: Performance at the Edge of Capacity

In an always-on, AI-accelerated, hybrid delivery environment, the greatest risks to performance are no longer technical — they’re human. Burnout, disengagement, decision fatigue, and remote isolation quietly erode delivery quality, trust, and resilience long before dashboards signal a problem.

In this session, Kirsty Thompson  reframes The Human Firewall through a powerful leadership lens drawn from her own journey — from grit, endurance, and relentless pace to sustainable high performance built on recovery, clarity, and authenticity. Drawing on insights from elite endurance sport, executive leadership, and leading virtual teams under pressure, Kirsty challenges outdated beliefs that pushing harder creates better outcomes.

Participants will explore how emotionally intelligent leadership acts as a human firewall — protecting themselves and their teams from burnout, disengagement, and remote fatigue, while strengthening trust, judgment, and performance across hybrid environments.

Through practical frameworks and real-world reflection, this session will help leaders:

  • Redefine resilience beyond grit and endurance to include recovery and capacity.
  • Identify the non-negotiables that protect human performance in high-pressure delivery.
  • Build trust, clarity, and authenticity as critical safeguards in hybrid teams.
  • Lead from “overflow, not depletion” to enable sustainable delivery and better decision-making.

This session is not about doing less — it’s about leading differently. Because in the current environment, human capacity is a critical risk control and a strategic performance asset.

From Grit to Growth

In high-pressure leadership environments, the default mindset is to push harder, work longer, and rely on grit to carry the load. But sustained performance doesn’t come from relentless output, it comes from managing the system that enables it. This keynote challenges the traditional narrative of “push through at all costs” and reframes mental health as a core driver of performance, not a secondary concern.

Drawing on her lived experience as a CEO, endurance athlete, and overlander navigating extreme environments, Kirsty Thompson introduces three critical disciplines for sustained high performance.

  • Recovery—where real strength is built and future performance is enabled.
  • Non-Negotiables—the personal standards that protect energy, focus, and resilience.
  • Authenticity—aligning how you lead and operate with what truly matters, enabling clarity, consistency, and long-term impact.

The result is a practical, grounded framework that leaders can apply immediately—shifting from burnout cycles to sustainable performance, strengthening decision-making, and creating the conditions for both personal and organisational success.
