We dream of a world in which everyone goes to bed at night feeling they’ve been able to perform at their highest potential and build their legacy from a place of deep happiness, positive influence, and peak performance. 

By blending timeless wisdom with modern neuroscience, we deliver change-making keynotes, masterclasses, and leadership programs, both in-person and online.

Our primary work is with leaders, however, as a global authority on influence, Gilan’s topics can also be applied to sales, negotiation, and more.

Keynotes are up to 1 hour. Masterclasses are up to 4 hours. That said, every session is customised to your preferences and the outcomes you need.

Success Does Not Require Suffering
In today’s competitive business landscape, one of the most prevalent challenges companies face isn’t just about hitting targets — it’s the unseen toll on top performers.

High achievers often grapple with mounting stress, burnout, and a persistent feeling of emptiness despite their successes. This not only affects their overall happiness but also subtly erodes their performance over time.

Can you recall members of your team expressing feelings of being overwhelmed despite their accomplishments? Have you noticed that the once-consistent enthusiasm and energy that is their driving force has begun to dip in deeper or more frequent waves?

This is where “Deep Happiness, Peak Performance” comes in.

This session addresses these intricate challenges, providing your team with unique perspectives and practical frameworks to align their drive for accomplishment with deep-seated fulfilment.

Grounded in the latest neuroscience, our approach doesn’t just introduce self-help concepts; it provides actionable strategies tailored to optimise cognitive potential and well-being. The outcome? An invigorated team that not only performs at their peak but does so with genuine joy and satisfaction.

By empowering your team with the ability to experience success together with deep happiness, you’re not just enhancing individual well-being, but also cultivating a more productive, passionate, and resilient work environment. This ripple effect leads to improved teamwork, innovative ideas, fulfilment of the team’s purpose, and a robust bottom line.

In a world where relentless hustle has often been mistaken for genuine achievement, it’s time we redefine success, and in the process, enhance your team’s trajectory.

Suitable and customizable for these audiences:

  • Leaders of all levels
  • Sales force and support functions
  • Company-wide events
  • Clients and other external audiences

This simple formula helps you develop influence by establishing trust, credibility, and support with other people, quickly and predictably.

With powerful and practical influence techniques you can start using immediately, the Rapid Influence Formula will enhance your impact in leadership, sales, and self-influence too.

Don’t miss achieving the types of results that only come from having influence.

Break Free from the Chains of Fixed Mindsets

Your mindset is like a pair of glasses you wear all the time. It’s how you interpret everything in the world – good and bad, easy and tough, worthy or waste-of-time. It’s like a filter for your brain that colours your experiences.

Differing mindsets is why two people often perceive and react to the same situation in completely different ways. That’s why the latest research suggests that mindset is the most crucial attribute for developing high performance.

As your mindset evolves, your thinking, learning, and behaviours naturally improve because you’re perceiving and responding to situations more effectively.

Through the filter of a growth mindset, you see challenges and setbacks as opportunities rather than roadblocks. This changes the perception of change and uncertainty into exciting opportunities to grow, cultivating a culture of innovation, adaptability, and continual learning.

In this talk, Gilan blends riveting stories and case studies, backed up with peer-reviewed psychology, frameworks, and actionable advice. This session promises to inspire and unlock your potential to grow.

Suitable and customizable for these audiences:

  • Leaders of all levels
  • Sales force and support functions
  • Company-wide events
  • Clients and other external audiences
