Connection before Curriculum
For educators
Do you remember the teacher that truly saw you, that recognised your potential and whose presence made you want to turn up and be the best you could be? How much did they influence your life?
Akonga are entering our schools from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of abilities and needs. Our staff span a number of cultures and bring a variety of attitudes and perspectives to their work. Sometimes it can be hard to find the connections that unite us.
In this entertaining keynote we dig into the neuroscience of connection, examine the ways we connect and discover the secret to engaging with one another in a way that builds lasting bonds of trust. Guaranteed to bring connection into focus, this keynote is going to spark discussion and ideas that’ll challenge your thinking and practice.
Smart Stories - Supercharge Your Sales and Influence
Smart stories aren’t life stories or modern epics. They’re not fairytales. They’re the short, targeted examples that effective leaders use to win sales, engage teams and influence culture. Vince outlines the nine stories that every business needs, unpacks the secrets to effective modern storytelling and hauls down the age-old tropes that have been standing in the way of effective communication for leaders.
Connection and Culture
How do we connect? How do we form the bonds that draw us together and how is today’s world impacting on those bonds?
The result of intensive research, this keynote draws on neuroscience to unpack the secrets of connection and give us the tools to come together. A combination of world-class storytelling and deep insight, this is the perfect conference opener.
