Authentic Leadership: Unmask the Leader Within
By Mette Johansson
Authentic Leadership is much more than simply “being yourself”; It’s about inspiring others to follow your chosen purpose for the greater good. This talk inspires you to become a true and effective leader; the leader that can inspire, make an impact and the leader who we follow not because of their wealth, position or title, but because we are truly inspired to follow them.
Authentic leaders have high levels of self-awareness and emotional intelligence, and know that sustainable success requires leading for a purpose for the greater good. Human leaders, who listen, and lead a team of individuals to success. In this talk, we share MetaMind’s seven steps to develop Authentic Leadership in your organisation.
Happy and Engaged Employees for a Flourishing Organization
By Ivana Fertitta
Studies show that happiness is a core enabler of employee engagement and organisational performance. Research also demonstrates that success follows happiness (and not vice versa).
On the other hand, the pressure of “feeling happy all the time” leaves people unsatisfied and inadequate.
So, is chasing happiness futile? Happiness can be achieved with the right actions...
When we redefine happiness as the journey rather than the destination; when we stop being busy and we focus our time and energy on what is important to us; when we adopt a positive mindset and embrace the full range of our emotions, we are set on a path of fulfilment and happiness.
In this talk, you’ll hear about the methods to redefine happiness and the actions you need to take in order to achieve engaged employees in your organization.
Inclusive Leaders: Male Allies
By Dave Rogers
Do you recognise and observe signs of gender inequality around you?
Diversity and Inclusion programmes have long focused on ‘fixing the women’.
At MetaMind, we have successfully supported women in growing their self-confidence, and equipped them with the mindset and skills to be successful in today’s business world. However, as women rightfully say, “It’s not just us that need fixing”. When everyone does their part to include people from different backgrounds, we can make real change happen.
At MetaMind, we have conducted in-house Male Allies programmes for our clients for the past few years. Now, we are offering a virtual version for multiple clients around EMEA and APAC.

Conscious & Unconscious Biases
By Mette Johansson
Biases - both conscious and unconscious - are a human condition. We all have biases that affect our behaviour and decisions. They act as shortcuts for the brain to cope with the masses of information that we are exposed to every single second.
Biases, however, also result in discrimination, or more subtle microaggressions -which can create conflicts. We will present examples of common biases that show up in the workplace as microaggressions, examine together how everyone can play a role in minimising these, and how companies that elect to stand up against bias and for fairness have a competitive advantage by creating inclusive cultures.
Join this talk to understand how we can increase awareness of our biases, recognise biases, as well as knowing how to respond to these and create an inclusive culture for all.
Inspirational Leadership:
Be Inspired to Inspire
By Mette Johansson
Leading at all levels is the secret ingredient for rapid growth but it is rarely executed well. Jeremy Blain argues that the time is right to make this a reality.
Many employees, regardless of their role or level, are ready to work smarter, take more initiative and contribute to the wider health of the business. And executive leaders are realizing this could be a major competitive play in transformation, business health and workforce commitment
Jeremy’s award-winning book: ‘The Inner CEO – Unleashing leaders at all levels’ is the only how-to manual to help organisations and individuals make a new age of empowerment a reality. In his keynote, Jeremy speaks about how to create the conditions at organisational level which will enable leading at all levels to flourish; and the journey individuals will embark on as they unleash their inner CEO.

The Culture of Growth
By Senela Jayasuriya
Culture impacts how we perceive, produce and perform.
While goals drive performance, culture drives behaviour and is symbiotic with the values within a team and organisation. There could be a tendency for polarised thinking within the same team and one of the biggest challenges we face in the modern-day workplace is the ability to unite and unify the company, where the vision and values drive the sharp-end of the business.
For a company to be successful at a macro-level, it needs to have a strong foundation among its people at a micro-level.
In this talk, Senela will challenge you to think about culture in a more nuanced way and inspire you to reflect on questions like:
-
What factors can positively influence a growth culture in my team and organization?
-
How do my personal beliefs impact my professional outcomes?
-
What am I doing wrong?
-
What am I doing right?
-
What can I do better?
Get ready for a thought-provoking talk to better your thinking for greater results!
