High Performance Speakers
In business, teamwork and leadership are key indicators of high performance. Senior leaders and managers spend several hours a week investing in their employees’ performance; one study even found that managers spend over 210 hours a year on performance management. This equates to a large expense for any business, so it is natural to expect a return on investment.
High performance speakers have the necessary experience and expertise to take your workplace performance to the next level, by inspiring your employees and educating your managers. Their public speeches are filled with personal anecdotes and accounts of hardship and adversity, psychological frameworks, and other approaches to high performance.

Stress Awareness Week is an annual event that recognises the impact of stress, and in 2025, it will be celebrated from the 3rd to the 7th of November. Events recognising Stress Awareness Week often feature a mental health speaker; however, high performance speakers offer just as much insight and engagement. They focus on the impact of stress on performance and teach audiences how to manage their workplace wellbeing.
