Delivering cutting-edge high-quality information in a manner that informs, engages, and entertains.
Technology is reshaping the ways people think, behave, and relate — often faster than they can consciously process. My keynotes help audiences slow down, see clearly, and understand what’s happening beneath the surface. Drawing on depth psychology, contemporary research, and over two decades of clinical and organisational work, I translate the hidden emotional and relational dynamics of modern life into ideas people can actually use. My talks are sharp, human, occasionally provocative, and designed to stay with audiences long after the lights go down.

The Psychologically Intelligent Workplace:​
Instead of seeing work as separate from life and something that needs to be “balanced” against it, Aaron sees work as locus for self-expression. Given that the average person spends 2000 hours a year at work, wouldn’t it be great if that time were an opportunity for personal development as well as professional thriving? Drawing on research and practices from emotional intelligence, mindfulness, positive psychology, psychoanalysis, and clinical psychology, Aaron offers direct insights and practices into how leaders, managers, and teams can better work together to create psychologically safe, emotionally intelligent, flourishingly, productive, and creative workplaces. Creating the conditions for a psychologically aware workplace doesn’t just make for happier workers, but also increases innovation, productivity, and business success.
​
Key takeaways:
​
-
Incorporating emotional intelligence and mindfulness into work in ways that really work.
-
Identifying and improving communication patterns to increase team happiness and productivity.
-
Leveraging depth psychology for deep lasting change.
-
Uncovering and addressing how your organisation thinks, behaves, and feels from a whole systems prespective.​​
