Bill Walshe Speaking Topics

  • PRIDEOLOGY

    Prideology is about having an evident and activated business ideology, fueled by pride, driven by purpose, and in pursuit of profit. This talk reminds leaders to focus on their purpose, not their status, and to understand their role as the Satnav of their organizations. Leaders are challenged to banish acceptance of mediocrity in any form, to break free from muscle-memory behaviors and conversations, and to adopt a STOP/CONTINUE/START approach to building foundations for the future based on excellence. Leaders will be challenged to place equal emphasis on commercial and cultural goals for their organizations, evolving from the pursuit of satisfaction in business to achieving belonging. It's about focusing on 'WHY' we do what we do, and not just 'HOW' we do what we do.

  • DISRUPTION, NOT INTERRUPTION.

    We live in a world where disruption has become cool and where we have forgotten that disruption without purpose is merely interruption. True disruption is never for its own sake, it's always driven by a cause. This talk looks at some of the most positively disruptive change agents in modern business history, both people and platforms, and looks to the future in an effort to predict what's coming next.
