Deri Latimer

Today’s dynamic, complex workplaces (and life places) require that we adjust rapidly and effectively to constant change. Personal resilience is a tool that each of us can develop to not only accept and cope with current realities but embrace and commit to the changes required by those realities… with energy! During this session, we will explore useful strategies for you to implement immediately into your life.

Some of the strategies include identifying personal ‘distress’ signals that can inhibit performance and using simple strategies for maintaining personal alignment. Deri Latimer also covers how to assume more control and influence over your work experience by making choices that work for you and how to turn workplace pressure into energy for top performance.

Your role as a manager or business owner is multi-dimensional. In addition to your day-to-day responsibilities, your success as a manager depends on your ability to spot the subtleties in staff behaviour that can impact their ability to perform their duties.

More and more, staff may experience challenges with their mental health. What you notice and what you do can make all the difference in connecting people with the support they require.

In this presentation, Deri Latimer will speak about how to spot the signs of a potential mental health challenge and initiate a conversation about it. How to take action to ensure the health and well-being of your staff and encourage positive mental health habits

Within each of us is the potential to lead with excellence; to see clearly what is present, to respond with creativity and innovation rather than reactivity, to bring compassion to each decision and encounter, and to influence people around us in a positive way.

Whatever else may be going on, great leaders remain true to themselves, and that authenticity provides them with an essential aura of trustworthiness. Their people, colleagues, customers, and other stakeholders know where they stand with them.

Today’s transformative leaders are able to engage and energize the resources around them to build a better future by learning to be more ‘present’! In this enlightening experience, Deri Latimer will explore the core elements of Mindful Leadership.

Mindset is a mental attitude that determines how you interpret and respond to various situations in your life. It affects everything from your persistence and determination in facing challenges and setbacks to your openness to feedback and your resilience to change.

The mindset that is reinforced and encouraged in your company culture will impact the innovation, collaboration, and commitment of yourself and your team. As leaders and employees, maintaining a culture of learning and innovation may be the critical factor that allows your organization to outdistance the competition. Equally as compelling, that same culture will impact the health and well-being of the people who are responsible for achieving the results needed for success.

In this energizing keynote, we will explore how mindset can positively impact performance, innovation, diversity, and inclusion—strategies to build new neuropathways for growth; within yourself and your team. Learning, hard work, and resilience are core pillars of organizational success.

The evidence about the power of teams is clear and consistent: individuals who work in a team culture are more productive, more resilient to change, more engaged, and more fulfilled than those who do not.

The benefits to the organization (and its clients) are synergistic: better results, at a better time, with better relationships! Although the data is clear, the experience of the ‘team’ can be elusive. Too many people still report that their work experience does not ‘feel’ like a team. Often that is because we are not clear about the role we all play in creating the team.

This presentation offers practical strategies and insights to cultivate a more collaborative approach to internal and external customer service, including clarifying the experience of what it really means to be a team and understanding the critical ingredients for a healthy TEAM.
