Leadership Keynotes

Are you searching for a keynote speaker who’ll give your audience more than just a ‘good time’? Someone who’ll provide real leadership strategies that your audience will actually use? Someone who will make a lasting impact on organisational performance?
There are lots of great speakers out there but if you are looking for one who balances energy and motivation with powerful content then you’ll find Paul Mitchell’s Leadership Keynote Presentations to be right on the money.
Paul is more than just an entertainer. He brings to his keynotes an extensive background in training and facilitation. He understands the tools and techniques needed for conveying information in a way that commits audiences to action!
Topics
Paul offers the following leadership keynote presentations:
Engage: Creating Partnership Across Boundaries.
Getting full engagement is too big a job for senior management alone. You need to get
everyone, at every level of the organisation, to take responsibility for making it happen.
This keynote is designed for audiences made up of representatives from all levels of your
organisation – "top", "middle", "bottom" and even your customers.
It shines a light on the ‘worlds’ that exist at each level in your organisation and creates the understanding necessary for each person, regardless of title or rank, to build better relationships with everyone they work with – the key to engagement.
Your audience will learn:
- How their position within your organisation affects their (and others) behaviour.
- How to approach others – no matter their position – in a way that brings about partnership and engagement.
- How to look beyond their ‘patch’ and think more strategically.
- How they can take responsibility for building engagement.
Merging Cultures
Merging two organisations, business units or teams is a strategy that is supposed achieve synergy right? But in the midst of financial and operational targets, two (or more) groups of people – often very different to each other – find they need to work together. Integrating these groups is usually where the merger process comes unstuck.
This Leadership Keynote presentation is designed for audiences who have recently experienced or are about to go through a merger or acquisition. It demonstrates to people how their culture, with its own “rules”, generally unaware and unspoken, can influence their behaviour. The overall goal is to have your audience gain an appreciation of those with a culture different from their own and emerge a united business unit.
Your audience will learn:
- The differences between “dominant” and “other” cultures.
- Key strategies for understanding and building relationships with cultures different from their own.
- How they – no matter their position – can take responsibility for the success of the merger.
The Energised Leader
Leaders are the stewards of organisational energy. They use their energy to get things done and inspire others to do the same. But how do you maintain the energy levels required to lead day after day, year after year?
This entertaining keynote demonstrates how great leaders maintain their energy. But it’s not about time management. It’s about the practices needed to build energy and capacity into your daily business (and life) practices.
Your audience will learn:
- How to use their personal energy as distinct from their time to remain energised.
- What daily rituals and habits you can build into your daily routine to stay on top.
- How to set personal and professional goals that really inspire you.

What Others Say
At the end of today, I am
pleased to report that there are
a lot of “bowling balls” being
placed on desks, lots of “Door
B’s” being chosen and still
plenty of buzz from the day.
Your presentation has provided the “hook”
to keep us on song. Thanks again.
Karen Edwards, A / General Manager Human Resources Strategy, Roads and Traffic Authority
Paul met our high expectations
and was a motivating,
energising and humorous
speaker...We had excellent
feedback from the attendees
and we are now using the
“top”, “middle”, “bottom” jargon around
the office.
Vanessa Beer, Director, Practice Services Enterprise Application Services, Fujitsu Australia & New Zealand
Wherever I walked today
in the Human Resource
Strategy area of our building,
everyone was buzzing about
your session. All day there
has been lots of talk about
“Door A”, “ponds”, “bowling balls”, “top”,
“middle”, “bottom”, “stuff”.
Thank you so much. It was just the right session for this group and for the time of the day. It really engaged them, while conveying to them some very valuable lessons. As always your style is so stimulating that we just want to spend more time with you.
Elinor Crossing, Principal Advisor Leadership & Management Development, Roads & Traffic Authority
Paul’s irreverent style, unique
perspective, and great sense of
humour was captivating from
the start and provided a fast-
paced energetic whirlwind of
an afternoon.
The simple, everyday, common-sense advice had the team nodding in “this just makes so much sense” kind of way, and all have been genuine in their positive feedback since.
The session was the stand out of our Conference, and other people in the business are hearing about its success.
The team have already adopted phrases into our vernacular and have energetically taken parts from the program and are putting them into practice ... great signs of how valuable they personally found it.
Andrew Clarke, Managing Director, Mars Foods Australia New Zealand
Your Keynote address to 300 of our staff included very practical examples, easy to understand concepts and, most importantly, humour. Your energy and enthusiasm never ceases to amaze me
In my view, your address left our staff motivated and engaged to make the "small tweaks" our business needs.
