Bruce Daisley Keynote Speaker

The former European boss of Twitter, shares some sought-after insights. Bruce Daisley leads us to the core of what resilience means, helping people understand the true essence of it  – “resilience is a collective strength.”

Described as “an absolute revelation”, his latest bestselling book Fortitude, received brilliant reviews, including “book of the year” by The Financial Times. He shares well researched points on the pillars of resilience as well as explaining the biggest barriers to finding inner strength.

Work feels less resilient than ever before, and people don’t seem to be as resilient as they used to be. His deep dive into this evolving reality provides a necessary take within this modern world. Furthermore, liberating teams while supporting creativity, innovation and performance. 

The relationship with work is transforming at a rapid pace, yet the strategies towards this don’t seem to be following suit. “If firms are going to achieve breakout results, breakout culture, they need to think about doing things in a different way.” People are starting to understand and explore how to create highly motivated teams, in a way that has never been done before.

Burnout is a widespread issue within our society, “we hire high performance individuals… and then stifle them with a way of working that’s overwhelming”. Bruce Daisley’s approach finds a way to help leaders “unlock the combination, to let their company achieve its full potential.” 

After investigating thousands of academic papers and engaging with leading experts on the topic, he shares them with others, in order to help them build a more resilience life.
