​​...Go down well.  He aims to challenge, inspire and raise a smile or two.

​​​

​Felix can speak at your company, organisation or network, in the form of a Talk, a Masterclass or a Workshop.

​​​

These include:

​​

  • The Flea Jar – What Traps Our Thinking, How To Untrap Our Thinking, And How To Do Brilliant Thinking Instead.  In this talk, Felix explores why we default to a surprisingly defensive mindset that suffocates our thinking, both strategic and innovative, and how not only to escape that but how to do your very best thinking to maximise your opportunities in business, the arts, and life.

  • CQ – The Secret Of Great Leadership.  In this talk, Felix draws on his extensive experience of working with leaders across various fields to talk about the Caring Quotient - how great leaders care about their teams – and how caring leaders see greater growth, profitability and meaning.

  • Failing Upwards - Felix made a mistake...  But that's a good thing!  In this talk Felix confronts those who are risk averse, and explains the value of making mistakes and learning from them - the value of embracing 'Failure as our teacher'.  As ever, Felix draws upon stats, stories and his own research to illustrate how the greatest people fail the most.

  • Once Upon A Business...  Ideas are great - but at some point we need to communicate them.  But are people on-board?  Are people excited?  That's your story-telling.  In this talk Felix explains the human need for stories, why they matter, and how to tell stories that gran the audience by the throat every single time.

​​​​

Felix's talks get positive responses from businesspeople, entrepreneurs, creatives and people wanting to reimagine their lives.

 

In short, Felix gets people thinking about thinking

"I first saw Felix speak at an event in London and found his approach and delivery very engaging, thought provoking and energising... I am delighted that Felix agreed to deliver his Brilliant Thinking session at our hospital to allow my colleagues across the Trust, from various clinical and administrative teams, to think about how they approach challenges, create an environment to bring out and nurture the best ideas, and to not settle for ‘good enough’ but to strive to get the best solution or outcome. The session was refreshing and really well received. Staff left feeling motivated with tools to create the space to generate brilliant ideas to improve our patient experience. We can’t wait to have him back!"
