Keynotes with Andrew Sloan | Author, Psychotherapist & Leadership Coach
Keynotes are dead.
But the conversation is just getting started.
Traditional keynotes offer glossy slides, big ideas and a temporary hit of inspiration. But in a world overloaded with chaos and pressure, we don’t need another hour of hype. We need real conversations that connect people to ideas, to each other and to themselves.
My Keynotes and Conversations fuse storytelling and neuroscience to spark meaningful insight and action. Each engagement is immersive, science-backed and completely bespoke, creating an experience that blends the best of a keynote with the depth and interactivity of a workshop.

Immersive conversations for the (dis)connected era.
Collaborating with executives and leaders, to help transform their teams.
Humans have never been more connected, yet more disconnected. Across industries, teams and communities, people are overwhelmed by complexity, chaos and constant change.
We need more than hype; we need purposeful alchemy. Real change that lasts far beyond the room, transforming how people connect to ideas and each other.
I don’t just talk at audiences; I work with them. Together, we explore what it means to connect, lead and thrive in a world that’s brittle and overwhelming.

Topics and Themes
My highly immersive and collaborative sessions are intentionally designed around your needs. Choose from the following topics, or request an entirely bespoke experience tailored to your goals and audience..
1.
Why Things Feel F*cked: A Journey From Stuck to Free
Based on my debut book, Why Things Feel F*cked, this keynote explores how the modern world disconnects us – from ourselves, from each other, and from what truly matters.
We’ll unpack how chaos, complexity and control have created systems that keep us stuck, then explore the antidotes that help us move towards higher levels of connection, creativity and freedom.
Your audience will leave with:
A deeper understanding of how to reset our nervous systems to navigate complexity with calm and clarity.
An understanding of their personal roadmap towards self-leadership.
Tangible tools to create connection and belonging in their work and world.
2.
High Performance and Wellbeing
Hustle culture is out. Challenge and wellbeing must coexist for humans to truly thrive in work and life.
This hands-on keynote reframes performance and leadership for a new era: less burnout, more presence, clarity and care. It helps leaders and teams run meaningful conversations that fuel sustainable high performance; and lead themselves and others through uncertain times with confidence and empathy.
Your audience will leave with:
An upgraded perspective on how to build thriving teams and cultures, where wellbeing and performance work in harmony, not competition.
An understanding of the neuroscience of calm and connection; and how to balance pace with presence, and performance with purpose.
Practical tools for creating trust, engagement and excellence across teams.
3.
Strengths Discovery Masterclass
We face new challenges everyday. Let’s get together to uncover what’s right with us, rather than what’s wrong.
Using the CliftonStrengths® toolkit, this interactive session helps individuals and teams discover their natural talents and how to turn them into strengths that drive engagement, collaboration and impact.
Yes, even in a world that moves fast and is more uncertain than ever.
Your audience will leave with:
A foundational understanding of CliftonStrengths® and strengths-based self-leadership.
The ability to identify and leverage their unique talents and those of others.
Practical frameworks for giving feedback, coaching and building stronger relationships.
4.
Bespoke Conversations
Every community and organisation faces its own version of chaos, change and disconnection. That’s why I custom-design each keynote in partnership with you, shaping the focus around your goals and audience.
Whether your theme is leadership, belonging, wellbeing, trust, self-leadership or something else, we’ll create an immersive session that integrates psychotherapy, coaching and science-backed frameworks to leave a lasting impact.
Your audience will leave with:
An experience to remember – one that sparks real conversation, genuine connection and purposeful change.
Actionable tools to take into daily work and life.
