All sessions by Abigail →Most of us have a strong desire to regain control of our days, but the reality is much more reactive. Life gets busy and suddenly we’re back to familiar yet ineffective routines and habits. Our good intentions become a distant memory.
What we're focusing on
In this session, you will discover how to develop peak performance habits that stick, even when pressure ramps up. We will deep dive into everything you need to know to embed powerful behaviours that give you the edge - and keep you there.
Use this opportunity as a catalyst to reset, upgrade your routines, and upgrade how you operate on autopilot.
During the expert session, Abi Ireland engages the audience through interactive exercises using the Mentimeter app, Q&A sessions, and live demonstrations.
You will leave this session with:
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: Most of us have a strong desire to regain control of our days, but the reality is much more reactive. Life gets busy and suddenly we’re back to familiar yet ineffective routines and habits.
Abigail Ireland is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.2 out of 5, across 20 responses, and rate Abigail personally 4.5 out of 5.
It is interactive, and the block higher up on this page says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Abigail, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
This one is live only. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
