NEW SPEAKERS

We are delighted to welcome Chris Britton and Derrick McManus to the website

Chris Britton is a forward thinking thought leader, author and podcast host, who has led the people agenda across some of the biggest brands in the world.

For the past 15 years, Chris has used his empathy first approach to humanity to drive positive change and high performance in organisations including Virgin, Vodafone, River Island and Reward Gateway. Chris talks about the stresses and strains that organisations are under and why doing more with less is unsustainable. Instead, he focuses in on how businesses can use the concept and science of appreciation to unlock high performance whilst making a positive contribution to the lives of your employees. Less with less and making it count.

Derrick McManus is a resilience Human Durability Expert.

Shot 14 times. Multiple massive injuries. Bleeding on the ground for 3 hours. 30 seconds from death. 2 years later, against all odds, returned to full duties. Post Traumatic Growth not PTSD. Most people break. Some bounce back. The truly exceptional go beyond Resilience to Human Durability.

Derrick McManus doesn’t just epitomise resilience – he embodies Human Durability. Where resilience gets you back to where you were, Human Durability makes you unbreakable. Human Durability is your capacity to ‘Sustain Optimal Performance’ while everything around you is falling apart, to grow stronger through what should destroy you, and to thrive when others fall apart or merely survive.
