How do we stay motivated when the months ahead are unpredictable?

How do we find opportunity in the midst of uncertainty?

Disruption, uncertainty and change are the new normal. Geopolitics, technology, and climate are all adding new levels of complication to doing business, whatever the scale or focus.

In such a challenging environment, how do we stay motivated? How do we grow in resilience and agility, so we can move forwards in creative, courageous ways to make the most of the new opportunities?

We cannot just hope that our people will get there on their own. The most prized asset in a business – its people – need extraordinary inspiration, positive encouragement and practical tools.

For Rob, on his expeditions, the experience of facing uncertainty, pressure and change has been the daily norm. There are constant discouragements, many things out of control, countless unexpected setbacks and obstacles. But both on expeditions, and in business, what we can control is our mindset. It can make the difference between success and failure.

WHAT OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER CAN SHARE

WHAT OUR KEYNOTE
SPEAKER CAN SHARE

A Growth Mindset

A growth mindset is the belief that our abilities are not fixed, but rather, can be grown. It's also the belief that if we embrace difficult challenges, they will make us grow. Rob brings the concept to life, energising the audience to grow themselves.

A Resilient Mindset

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from tough experiences, instead of burning out or giving up. Using vulnerable stories of devastating setbacks, Rob unpacks strategies for growing our resilience and thriving under pressure.

An agile mindset

While resilience is about ‘bouncing back’, agility is about ‘bouncing forwards’. It is about adapting and pivoting quickly to changing circumstances so as to stay ahead and make the most of new opportunities. In his rapidly changing expedition environments , Rob has learnt the importance of an agile mindset, and in his talks he equips his corporate audiences to do the same.

A collaborative mindset

Although Rob often travels alone on his adventures, he can never make it on his own. He needs to reach out to people he meets – whether in jungle, desert or warzone. Rob uses powerful, first-hand stories to bring to life the importance of reaching out, collaboration, networking, and teamwork in the corporate world.
