#SlowtheFuckDown
There aren’t many keynote speeches that can really change lives in 30 minutes. Emma Harris’ #SlowtheFuckDown gives the audience a wake-up call to how our relentless pursuit of more and a lack of awareness of what drives our behaviours can lead to us living unfulfilled lives.
Emma’s shocking story of how a near-death experience changed her perspective takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, helping them connect with their own thought processes and giving them tools and strategies that enable them to make choices that better serve their needs and desires.
#SlowthefuckDown is structured around three key pillars;
- Make better choices
- Manifest, don’t stress
- Look after you
Using a combination of science, psychological theory and humour, Emma makes her lessons both simple and relatable, leaving the audience with a clear understanding of how to change their approach to living and help them live more fulfilled lives.
#SlowtheFuckDown to lead
A perfect encore to the OG, this version of #slowthefuckdown is targeted towards business leaders to help them create belief, unity and simplicity in their teams and organisations.
The pace and pressure of business today means most teams are running on a perpetual hamster wheel; driving the numbers today, this week, this month, this quarter, this year, then rinse and repeat. This pattern of behaviour is the polar opposite of what experts would call high performance. It leaves little time for any real thinking or innovating and makes driving proper change nigh on impossible.
Using the same three pillars as #slowthefuckdown, this powerful lesson in leadership not only reminds the audience to break their own cycle of short term, highly intensive, stressful working but outlines how to lead their teams to a new place of laser focus, strategic thinking and improved balance, whilst encouraging a culture that prioritises both physical and mental wellbeing.
Contrary to some leaders who would consider slowing down as a negative (“I don’t want them to slowthefuckdown I want them to speedthefuckup!”), when a team has clarity around their priorities, aligned behaviours and the permission to prioritise their own mental and physical well-being, they are infinitely more productive; Slowthefuckdown is about growth.
Leading through Change
There’s no doubt that the business world is in a state of perpetual change. Data and technology is driving a truck through every element of our working lives and never before has the pace of change been so aggressive. However, 70% of change initiatives fail, largely due to employee resistance not being managed effectively by leaders.
Using a combination of NLP techniques, DiSC personality profiling, high performance principles and well-established theories on change, Leading Through Change is a comprehensive guide to change including:
- a theoretical understanding of what happens to people during a time of change
- different ways to support them at different phases
- how to meet the needs of different personality preferences
- The basis of effective change communication
- How to spot when motivation dips and why by bringing to life the incredible experience of leading one of the biggest change projects in recent British infrastructure history; ie the opening of St Pancras International.
Emma arms the audience with a clear undertaking of how to take their teams with them on any change journey.
