By the Time I Got Up to Leave

Making a call when you haven’t got all the answers, told through a stage IV cancer diagnosis and nearly two decades investigating financial crime.

Takeaway One next step that is theirs to take, and a line to act on: “If this happens, I’ll do this.”

Format and length 40 minutes, including Q&A.

For leaders. In development.

Deciding Before You’re Sure

How to make good calls when the facts are incomplete and the clock is running.

Format and length Keynote, length to confirm.

For healthcare conferences and clinical teams.

Prove It

Patients who fear your reaction don’t stop. They stop telling you. This talk is about how to keep the truth coming.

Takeaway One question to ask every patient: “What else are you taking or doing that I don’t know about?”

Format and length A 20-minute talk with 25 to 40 minutes of moderated questions or an exercise, 45 to 60 minutes in all.

How booking works

  1. Book a short call with one of the team and tell us about your event.
