Dissenters
How to get noticed, get ahead, and transform the workplace.
When did “dissent” become a polarizing label versus a badge of pride? And are dissenters born, or — under the right circumstances — can anyone become a rebel? By examining how we move from the seeds of dissent to forming radical ideas, to standing up for our beliefs and respectfully challenging authority, we’ll examine the psychology of dissent through the backdrop of history and organizational transformation. More importantly, we’ll learn how dissent shows up in the workplace and weigh up the pros and cons of dissenting viewpoints and show you how to create an army of dissenters to build innovative workplaces.
How I Can Help
Employee insights and consulting
Using my proprietary "Workplace Dissent Readiness Scale," I can help you understand how much dissent is present in your organization in time to work with your dissenters — and before engagement plummets.
What's more, I have 15 years of experience in employee engagement, working with the world's largest companies such as Adobe, Meta, Salesforce, NVIDIA, Santander, Intuit, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and WarnerMedia. There isn't a problem I haven't seen or helped to solve. If you've got something on your mind, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.
Speaking and inspiration
I've delivered over 50 keynotes and corporate training sessions in the past 5 years, and am available to speak on the future of work, dissent, engagment, behavior change and more.
I also firmly believe one of the best ways to stay inspired is by reading.
