Organisers and audiences say this session maximises the ROI from all speakers at the conference because this keynote engages the whole audience to stop, pause and deeply listen to themselves, each other and the other speakers.

Unsaid - The Risk of Not Listening

An unmissable event for those seeking to understand the commercial implications of NOT listening. A powerful session for those willing to explore the commercial consequences of ignoring important signals.

Oscar outlines ways to deftly and skilfully surface the undiscussable topics with individuals and groups. His refreshingly honest, real approach fosters a safe and light-hearted approach to redhot conflict zones in teams and organisations.
