Popular Talks by Bruce Daisley

  • Building an Energised Workplace in the Age of AI

    Technology can make us work faster, but it drains the sense of connection that drives our motivation. The key to using AI is culture – In a world where everyone has the same tools it is how you work together that sets your firm apart from the rest.

  • The Joy of Work – Fixing our Workplace Culture

    How can teams and leaders get their mojo back to deal with the demands of modern work? Creating a firm’s identity, unlocking effort in a team and improving cohesion in the workplace is hard when people are WFH – but it can be done.

  • Understanding Resilience – The Secrets of Inner Strength

    Why the “Resilience Orthodoxy” – that is, inner strength being present in some people but not others – is a fallacy. A look at the people of Ukraine or survivors of recent disasters is evidence that resilience is about identity, community and control.

  • Leadership in the Hybrid Era

    Modern work culture can overwhelm high-performance individuals: when you focus on the workforce as a whole, you improve cohesion in the workforce.

Biography

Bruce Daisley is an author, communicator and former social media leader who is arguably the biggest name in workplace culture.

He takes a scientific approach to improving work culture, interviewing neurologists, psychologists and workplace experts, and believes that a happy firm is one that prioritises downtime for its staff.
