Over time I have been selective in my repertoire and by osmosis identified a range of popular songs with insights to match. "You'd better not read this or you might get too near a climax of reality." To be said in a Scottish accent, about this key note speaker who gives you a taste of his logic, just after he compares the ambiguity of "Blowing in the wind" to three necessary leadership strategies. There's a market for him because there's people out there without a heart and there's people out there with a heart. That's not entirely true, more true is there's a lot people who keep their heart a secret and sometimes, it becomes a secret from themselves. I've been entertaining with popular song lyrics for 30+ years. I'm passionate about the importance of hi-lighting the wisdom easily glossed over because of a good tune, that which gave birth to the great tune. “He speaks in a distinctive Scottish accent. With a friendly, bubbly personality that lights up the room.” Baltimore Jewish Times JOIN ME FOR A DEEP DIVE INTO STUNNING LEADERSHIP AND RELATED SELF IMPROVEMENT IDEAS FOUND IN FAMOUS (and not so famous) songs. Self praise is no praise, but to make a keynote speech includes inspiring people, and in that, my life's work has something perhaps to say as I have been making such expositions all the years (see videos). I will make an account on these insights as well as performing a little at the piano to best demonstrate how they are understood. And I hand out rhythm instruments as we have the odd sing along.

Leaders are worried about asking the wrong questions and so they say nothing at all, secretly struggling to manage their own workload and mental health in the process. Petra offers practical answers to these questions giving leaders skills they can utilise today to help them lead by example in modelling healthy behaviours, showing vulnerability and offering inspiration and motivation to their people to enable them to thrive. Petra is the author of ‘Begin with You’ published by Kogan Page, a practical insight into thriving in adversity and challenging toxicity, groupthink and culty behaviours in a world that is desperate for change.
