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.

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.

Sample Talks

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.
