This one runs as a masterclass: Gina Cleo takes your colleagues through the research and the thinking behind it, with live questions throughout.
Dr Gina Cleo is at the forefront of habit research and behavioural change. She has a PhD in habit change and is an adjunct professor at Bond University in Australia. She is also an accredited dietitian and founder of the Habit Change Institute, where she trains habit coaches, supports clients, and gives keynotes on creating new habits and breaking old ones, long-term.
All sessions by Gina →If you want to change outcomes, you need to change habits. To change habits, you first need to understand them.
In this engaging and science-backed keynote, Dr. Gina Cleo takes the mystery out of habit formation and shows how small shifts can create powerful, long-lasting change. With practical tools and real-world examples, this session will empower individuals, teams, and organisations to build better habits that support both productivity and performance without relying on willpower alone.
During the expert session, Gina Cleo engages participants through a series of interactive activities and Q&A using Mentimeter, an interactive engagement tool.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
In this high-energy expert session, Dr. Gina Cleo one of the world’s leading researchers on habit change delivers a lively and inspiring keynote on the science of habits and how they shape nearly every part of our lives.
She opens by inviting the audience to reflect on personal struggles with willpower, goal-setting, and consistency. She emphasizes that most of our daily actions up to 70% are driven by unconscious habits rather than conscious decision-making.
Dr. Cleo introduces the concept of habit loops, consisting of a cue, a routine, and a reward, and explains how these loops automate our behaviors over time. Drawing from neuroscience and real-life examples, she explains Hebbian learning “neurons that fire together wire together” and how this principle allows habits to become deeply ingrained in our brains.
She highlights how triggers are the secret to both forming and breaking habits, challenging the popular overreliance on willpower or motivation.
Throughout the session, Dr. Cleo brings scientific insights to life with memorable analogies, like comparing self-control to a muscle that fatigues with overuse, or using a tennis match to illustrate how setting goals that are either too big or too small leads to procrastination and disengagement.
She shares evidence-backed strategies to bypass this by staying on the “edge of comfort”, where goals are small enough to be achievable and still meaningful enough to motivate.
The session moves into three essential habit hacks:
Dr. Cleo emphasizes that habit change is not about restriction or guilt, but about designing systems that work with the brain’s natural tendencies.
Throughout the talk, Dr. Cleo’s accessible language, vulnerability, and engaging storytelling make the science of habit formation feel both empowering and deeply personal.
It is interactive, and the block above 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.
If you want to change outcomes, you need to change habits. To change habits, you first need to understand them. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
A masterclass. Gina Cleo takes your colleagues through the subject and the reasoning behind it, and answers live questions. It is practical in what people take away, without the hour turning into an exercise class.
Gina Cleo is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.6 out of 5, across 44 responses, and rate Gina personally 4.7 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Gina, 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.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. 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.
