Enterprise Agility Transformations start with the Individual. I help them understand how to begin stepping up as the Chief Agility Officer of their business or their role in their business, being an Agile Leadership Presence not a Fragile Leadership Presence. That is the question I love to ask your audience.
Helping them understand the difference by cutting through the clutter and complexity, revealing the Myths, Mysteries and Magic of Agility in ways they can relate to.
By being simultaneously provocative, profound and practical, interpreting the secrets of Everyday Agile Leaders in the real world and translating them into business terms.
Helping them understand simple steps they can start with, to begin changing their relationship with key attributes of Agility and facilitating their Leadership, Teams and Organizations.

Great to be back in Holland where I lived for 5 years when in the Oil & Gas business with Shell
Fantastic time working with my good friend and partner in Agility Consulting & Training, Tom O'Shea
Loving working with Boards of Directors and being on Boards as an AGILE voice around the table.
Spoke to 400 Peer Groups of CEOs/Executives in 5 Countries, acknowledged as the Global Community's thought leading expert on Agility
One of my favorite places to speak
How fun was that!
Inspiring Audiences with Agility
We live in an accelerating VUCA World (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity)
The ability to adapt
Answering the backbone questions: Why Agility, What is Agility (and what is it not - it is very prone to misinterpretation) and most curucially, Who do we need to be in the equation of our Agility? Then How/Where/When can we get started on our journey to becoming more Agile?
Using stories, analogies, models concepts and vocabulary from my days in Aerospace
Drawing on career experiences from working as a Petroleum Engineer on offshore oil and gas drilling rigs, to becoming an Executive, a CEO, a Divisional CEO, Chairing and speaking to peer groups of CEOs, serving on Boards and working with diverse clients globally
I love busting common myths about Agility
I love contrasting a Waterfall mindset with an Agile mindset
Becoming an AGILE Leadership Presence
We live in an accelerating VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity & Ambiguity) for which the only antidote is AGILITY. I ask your audience, "are you AGILE or FRAGILE?" Are you a FRAGILE Leadership Presence (like the majority) or an AGILE Leadership Presence (like a minority) and what does it take to move from the majority to the minority?
What separates the minority from the majority? 5 new roles that AGILE Leaders live up to every day:
Trust me, if you don't live up to these roles everyday, no one else will!
Where your conversation-flow goes, your cash-flow follows. Understanding AGILE conversation-flow as the unfolding flow of thoughts, questions, decisions and actions, divergently and convergently, present forwards and future backwards. AGILE conversation-flow becomes AGILE cash-flow becomes AGILE share-price (whether you are a public listed company or not). How's your share-price? Rising, flat-lining or falling? As an enterprise, an organization, as a team and as a leader? I challenge leaders to look in the mirror and ask what is happening with their leadership stock/share-price?
What a delight it was spending time with him and comparing notes on Agility
