Human Centred Leadership in Practice


Keynote

Josh’s high-energy and humorous keynote shares the lessons, tools and mistakes from his work in Human-Centred Leadership around the world. Drawing on his work with Olympic and Paralympic Ceremonies, global organisations, and extreme personal challenges, Josh delivers a keynote that is fully tailored to the organisation, audience, and context.

While every keynote is customised, it centres around a set of core themes:


Alignment - creating shared clarity, direction, and energy across teams
Ownership - shifting from passive participation to proactive responsibility
Resilience - developing the ability to stay composed, adaptable, and focused under pressure
Engagement - helping people feel truly connected to their work and team
Empowerment - enabling individuals to lead and influence without waiting for permission

Through powerful storytelling, Josh provides clear, actionable insights that resonate across all levels of an organisation.

Audiences leave with a clear sense of their role in the bigger picture and the confidence to take ownership, engage, and lead. The result is stronger alignment, greater trust, and teams ready to perform at the highest levels.
