Topics for Dr Bronwyn King AO
- Pivot to purpose
Amongst the most uplifting trends of 2020 has been watching ‘Sustainability’, ‘ESG’, ‘Ethics’ and ‘Culture’ propel to the top of boardroom agendas across the globe. Each day has seemed to herald another CEO’s public pledge to a growing list of initiatives promising to prioritise people and the planet.
Expectations have been redefined and standards redrafted. While some cling desperately to the status quo, others are pivoting and leaning in to the new world, embracing sustainability, individual accountability and the notion of ‘radical transparency’.
Countless studies show that consumers, millennials in particular, are flocking to brands and institutions at the forefront of this revolution.
So, are you and your team ready to embrace the next economy – one that is driven by a fresh philosophy, authenticity and purpose?
Key takeaways- Putting ethics at the heart of business (and why you might need two CEOs!).
- Latest examples of global trends in sustainable finance - covering a broad suite of ESG issues.
- Welcoming scrutiny - why a transparency transformation will pay off.
- Leading ladies
Female leaders are missing. There’s no denying it. In politics. In business. In media. And at the pinnacle of almost every ladder that exists. And it’s not for a lack of trying.
As systemic and structural obstacles are addressed, how can leading ladies leverage their gusto and grit to advance gender equality at the top? Change will not just ‘happen’ – even if it should and even if it’s the right time. Things will only change and equality will evolve when individuals and groups and movements form, to question, tweak, refine and push the world forwards.
Lived experienced (including being on the receiving end of blindsiding comments including “Now you’ve had a baby you’re clearly not leadership material”) is combined with the latest gender research to enrich audiences with practical strategies that women can adopt to help conquer challenges and that men can embrace to support them.
Audiences are invited to redefine what a leader should sound like, look like and say, and encouraged to imagine a world where talents, insights and ideas from the full population are leveraged to better shape our communities. Unconscious biases are revealed and reset and a full suite of simple, actionable steps is outlined for audience members to immediately pack into their toolkits, ready to deploy in the home, the community and the boardroom.
Key takeaways- Modern meeting etiquette to rebalance power.
- 5 tips to drive gender equality at your next event.
- Pitfall prevention – how to avoid behaviours that disadvantage women.
- Top tips for men to support the sisterhood.
- Name and fame!
If you’ve ever wondered how to persuade ‘the unpersuadable’, this talk is for you! The art of influence is nuanced, deliberate yet delicate, and often found in the spaces ‘in between’ formalities – in the moments, the mannerisms, and the magic in each personal exchange. As the COVID-19 pandemic redefines our way of interacting, with a shift to mostly virtual communications, how can we maximise our ability to drive conversations, efforts and actions in the right direction?
In this presentation, Bronwyn takes the audience through a step-by-step ‘influence checklist’. She highlights a suite of practical tools she has tried, tested and refined in persuading world leaders across business, government, health and diplomacy, to support a movement she started on her kitchen table. That movement now has AU$15 trillion behind it!
Sharing real-life and relatable scenarios, Bronwyn empowers audiences with fresh skills and strategies to build authority, trust and confidence. Get ready to make that next negotiation a successful one!
Key takeaways- Influence
- Leadership
- Authentic Communication
- Negotiation
- Positivity through change
A privilege. A duty. A calling. Executed well, leadership will energise, inspire and uplift those who follow. For leaders, it’s a time to flourish and to ignite, yet invariably it will challenge and, at times, may strain or overwhelm. Some say the head of the table is the loneliest seat.
In this presentation, both the art and science of leadership are explored. Fit-for purpose leaders must be equipped with an exhaustive range of nuanced and flexible skills. Some key traits seem innate yet others - thankfully - can be curated and continuously refined. Leaders must be bold yet measured, agile yet focused, decisive yet curious and authoritative, yet great listeners who are willing to reconsider or negotiate a compromise. It’s a lot to ask and a lot to learn!
Unpacking an extraordinary array of real-life experiences, spanning elite sport, precision medicine, high-flying business and international diplomacy, core leadership lessons are explored, scrutinised and translated into actionable takeaways.
Experienced and emerging leaders alike will walk away energised and ready to deploy new strategies, experiment with proven techniques and apply fresh thinking to their unique leadership journeys.
Key takeaways- Authentic communication
- Listen like a leader
- Leader self-care
- Thinking big!

Dr King’s presentation was the most impactful talk that I’ve listened to in the last year. The simplicity of presentation, using pictures only, accompanied with her amazing story, ensured that the audience was enthralled. While the story itself is amazing, what it demonstrated is how impactful any individual can be on the world stage, if driven by the right passion…and backed up with the right credibility. I’m sure that this is a story that has many chapters to go yet, so I’ll look forward to hearing from Dr King on her next chapter!
