The Story of Stress (15 - 30 minutes)
Most people think stress is simply a part of the career they've chosen. That it is simply the price of entry into these roles. That the only choice you have is to change jobs or do Yoga 4 nights a week. There is another way. By understanding that stress is a strategy your body uses to keep you safe, and some of the neuro-biological underpinnings of this. You can effectively and quite simply, shift your perspective and reduce the pressure.

High Performance Thinking
Increasingly recent advances in neuro-biology, neuroscience and psychology are shifting the paradigms about the way we think. In this challenging talk, Nigel integrates behaviour and decision making with these new paradigms and show people how they can make better decisions in moments that matter.
High performance thinking is about bringing a level of awareness of our own mind state to our decisions.
Learn that happiness - mental fitness - not only feels better, but is the pathway to higher performance. Stress might make you work harder, but happiness with determination will help you achieve more.

Be the Lion, Not the Deer
Are your people fearful and motivated to running away from outcomes they don't want? Or are they building motivation moving towards what they do? In this talk, Nigel explains the difference between fear based "AWAY" focused goals which say 'anywhere but here' with TOWARDS focused goals that target specific outcomes.
This is ideal for organisations experiencing change and looking to help their people look 'towards' the outcome and not dwell or focus on the parts they don't want (eg to learn new systems, the change itself).
If you want your people, to Be the Lion, not the Deer, then contact Nigel's office book him at your next conference.

There is No "Safe Place B" (10 - 20 minutes)
Ideal for those organisations or sectors experiencing significant change. In this fun and practical speech, Nigel helps the audience change the way they think about change. Your people will understand that traditional change management is built around people moving as quickly (and safely) as possible from "Safe Place A" to some new and improved "Safe Place B". But the truth is, there is no such thing as "Safe Place B", as waves of change will come again and again.
But by redefining change, understanding that change is the only normal there is, your people will learn to be more comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty. They will stop fighting every small evolution and your technology and processes emerge.

The Highway of Habit Change (30-60)
Ideal for showing your audience the reality, not hyped and sugar coated, neural requirements for habit change. Nigel shows people the biology of how memory systems in the brain are formed, and HOW to change those memory patterns. Habit change is more than one big decision, is it lots and lots of small ones that are made and the key moments that matter.
Nigel outlines his unique My Ataraxy Model and shows people the real mechanics of changing habits, and of course how to go about making change.
Longer versions of this talk include the audience completing some short self-reflective activities to support the learning and application to their own habits
