Carolyn's award-winning book FOR LOVE & MONEY inspired this keynote topic.
Sharing a unique perspective on purpose, Carolyn makes the case for love being the most powerful driver of business success in the current decade.

Path To Purpose.
Build Your Success Strategy
Why doing good is good for business and how to navigate an authentic purpose strategy.
This session is for business leaders who want to understand how to go about building a business (and brand) with purpose, in a way that is authentic, strategic, sustainable; and that delivers tangible social impact as well as driving business growth.
Combining inspirational examples with a practical methodology, your audience will walk away with clarity on why Purpose is so vital to business success and the knowledge to start navigating their own path to purpose within their organisation.
Purpose-Driven Leadership.
Start with WHO!
Meaningful work is the key to an engaged workforce. It drives productivity, innovation, agility, resilience and organisational success. Yet poll after poll tells us how abominably disengaged our employees are. So just how much is under-engagement costing your organisation?
Leadership is the singular comprehensive answer to this problem. In an age where people are looking for their organisations and leaders to solve society's big challenges, purpose-driven leadership is the key to inspiring and engaging your greatest organisational asset... your people.
In this keynote you will understand how great leaders are building purpose-driven cultures that their people own, by starting with clarity on WHO they are and who they want to be.
Love Stories for Business.
Build A Story Driven Purpose Culture
What stories are your people telling about your business?
Not the crafted marketing stories. The real everyday stories your teams and employees are sharing with each other and with the people they interact with.
Are they stories of purpose-driven leadership, action and innovation? If not, why not?
This session is for businesses who want to connect their people to the higher purpose of the organisation authentically and organically.
Stories are the key. Real stories unlock confidence in what the organisation and leaders value. They inspire trust - the most important currency in business today.
In this session you'll come to understand the power of everyday stories in building purpose into your organisational culture and you'll learn how to harness the fundamentals of storytelling to intentionally build a story-driven purpose culture.
