Today’s audiences have changed. They don’t want stale, uninspired business content full of tired stories, meaningless stats and awkward ice-breaking activities. They want dynamic live learning experiences that shift the way they see themselves and the world.
Speaking globally to the world’s biggest brands Mykel blends his unique live performance experience, an obsession with audience participation and a magnetic stage presence, to drive maximum impact with every presentation.
Nothing compares to a well-executed event. It’s where people connect to ideas. Where relationships strengthen through shared experience. Where moments are made that have the power to change everything.
As the world returns to live in-person events and our expectation of the virtual space moves well-beyond zoom and a ring light, its essential you give your audience something different that actually makes the difference.
The pandemic has revealed many things about who we are, what we value and what we want from our experience at work.
As organisations race to re-engage their people and retain their best talent, no one seems to be talking about the things that really matter.
It’s not just about more cash or more choice. If we’re going to give 40 hours a week to something other than our family or our passion, it’s gotta be wow.
This keynote is rocket fuel for those who want to lead a new way at work.
Regardless of title or experience there is a movement emerging yearn to make work feel more like play, teams feel more like family, and organisations feel more like festivals of possibility.
With his trademark energy, deep research and razor-sharp wit, Mykel shows audiences how to reclaim their vision, redefine their value, and reinvent the way we work.
Leaders and teams who have lost their spark and need to fall back in love with their customers, colleagues and the magical possibilities that exist in their day to day work.
Inspired and motivated to dream bigger, act bolder and lead the change they want to see in their team, company or industry.
What’s really stopping is from being creative at work? The boss? The boredom? The bureaucracy? Nope. It’s the story we tell ourselves about who we are and what we’re capable of.
Based on his award-winning book (named the #1 leadership book in Australia in 2021), this keynote is for audiences who know they need to be more creative at work but can’t find the time or resources to give to it.
Packed full of powerful, practical and poetic tools, this inspiring and infectious presentation will help you cut through the barriers that prevent creativity at work while giving you the clarity and confidence to unleash your wild, untamed self-expression into every pocket of your personal and professional life.
When did work get so... boring? Compliance, regulation, assessment. Pre-approved questions, watered down objectives, micro- managed projects. Is it any wonder we’re in the midst of a global engagement crisis. We’re mostly on auto-pilot, rewarded for mediocrity, and terrified to colour outside the lines.
Organisations today need more risk-takers, rule-breakers and mischief makers. They need unconventional leaders who are unafraid of ruffling a few feathers in order to build something better. And employees today need a sense of agency. They need opportunities to explore and express their unique talents, perspective and experience without fear of retribution or redundancy.
In this keynote, Mykel shows audiences how to find and follow the loveable rogue that lives in all of us. By giving them tools to bend and break rules, attendees will find the clarity, creativity and courage to push their company (and themselves) to new levels of performance.
The misfits and mavericks, rebels and renegades, outliers and originals who have been hiding in your organisation, withholding their unconventional gifts and talents.
Reconnected to their wild, weird and wonderful selves, empowered to bring ALL of their originality to work, and ready to ruffle a few feathers, rock a few boats and shake a few trees.
