Mixture, Mixture | European Communications Summit
The best one speech! Spectacular, a highlight. As interesting for communication people as it would be for CEOs. The man is an absolute inspiration. By far the best speaker at the event. The most inspirational speech in the conference. He was excellent - really engaging. Get him back again! Outstanding speaker. Best presentation by far and extremely thought provoking.
Simon Alldridge, Managing Director | Ashtead Performance Group
A good speaker doesn’t just fill a slot at the event, they should also help to provoke a change in the audience. Dr Hererro hits the spot every time on this criteria.
Jennifer Cerney, Head Consumer Services | Boehringher Ingelheim
We were lucky enough to have Dr Herrero speak at our company Conference on the topic of the power of viral change. Our company goal is to create a winning culture and we believe that culture is created from behaviours. He was a fabulous speaker. Humorous, smart and with plenty of interesting and provocative views. My colleagues and I were inspired to challenge ourselves not only to talk about change but to do and act in every day small actions.
Markus Fuhrmann, Specialist Change Communication | Telefonica Germany Leadership Kick-Off
“Dr Herrero held an inspiring presentation at our annual leadership kick off underlining that leadership is the biggest asset to transform and differentiate.”

Viral Change™ : the alternative to the 80% failure rate of ‘change managment’
Highlighting the key concepts of the pioneering Viral Change™ programmes and the book of the same title, this is an insightful tour into the only real alternative to traditional, top-down and mechanistic ‘management of change’.
The Age of Activism: orchestrating large scale behavioural change in organizations and society
There is no difference between micro and macro-social change, a fact largely ignored in business. Organizational change is viral change, an internal social movement, or it isn’t. This keynote addresses ten inconvenient truths about management of change and brings closer to each other social activism and internal activism.
Employee engagement? A company of volunteers.
Employee engagement has become an industry on its own right. The old house of the psychology of motivation has been refurbished and redecorated. But most companies are not going far enough. Would employee self-management be the ultimate goal of employee engagement? This keynote challenges the traditional concepts of employee engagement as commonly accepted.
Leading change in VUCA land
The current business environment across the world is facing unprecedented challenges. Fundamental shifts in the way organizations work have taken place, yet we still use old management and leadership toolkits, created at a time of a more predictable and linear world. Are we equipped for the new VUCA organization? How can we lead in this new environment?
Building Remarkable Organizations
Quality, excellence and having a passion for what you do is the norm, no more than average and certainly not enough to call yourself remarkable. Designed to ‘ask all the right questions’, this keynote examines 10 of the components that can help an organization on its journey towards becoming remarkable. This is about encouraging you to raise the bar for excellence and ask ‘what if?’
