Keynotes with Andrew Sloan: Author, Psychotherapist & Leadership Coach

I can help you to transform the mess into momentum. Integrated Psychotherapist. Executive and leadership coach. Keynote Speaker. Author.

01

Beyond the slides

Traditional keynotes offer glossy slides, big ideas and a temporary hit of inspiration. But in a world overloaded with chaos and pressure, we don't need another hour of hype.

02

Real conversations

We need real conversations that connect people to ideas, to each other and to themselves. My Keynotes and Conversations fuse storytelling and neuroscience to spark meaningful insight and action.

03

Immersive and bespoke

Each engagement is immersive, science-backed and completely bespoke, creating an experience that blends the best of a keynote with the depth and interactivity of a workshop (no matter how big the crowd).

What to expect from your keynote experience

I’ve led keynotes and workshops with numerous clients, including HP Australia, Mirvac and The Margaret Rivers Reader and Writers Festival, helping hundreds of people, leaders and teams connect, engage and perform at their best. No two conversations are the same. Each experience is designed intentionally and curated to your audience and goals. But you can bank on a session that is immersive and energising, part storytelling, part science and part conversation.

01

Collaboration and design

We collaborate with your leadership to design the session's focus, outcomes and flow. Expect a bespoke conversation tailored to exactly what your people need.

02

Teaching and conversation

Expect short, sharp segments of teaching, followed by guided group conversations. Participants are seated at tables to encourage active discussion, rather than passive listening.

03

Tools and perspective

Participants gain tangible tools to integrate into daily work and life, plus an upgraded perspective to help chaos-proof themselves for a rapidly changing world.

04

Scale and flexibility

Whether hosting an intimate leadership offsite or a large conference, we offer flexible, highly engaging participation for groups ranging from 50 to 500 people.

Immersive conversations for the (dis)connected era

Humans have never been more connected, yet more disconnected. Across industries, teams and communities, people are overwhelmed by complexity, chaos and constant change.

We need more than hype; we need purposeful alchemy. Real change that lasts far beyond the room, transforming how people connect to ideas and each other.

I don’t just talk at audiences; I work with them. Together, we explore what it means to connect, lead and thrive in a world that’s brittle and overwhelming.

Topics & Themes

My highly immersive and collaborative sessions are intentionally designed around your needs. Choose from the following topics, or request an entirely bespoke experience tailored to your goals.

01

Why Things Feel F*cked

Based on my debut book, Why Things Feel F*cked, this keynote explores how the modern world disconnects us from ourselves and what truly matters. We’ll unpack how chaos, complexity, and control create systems that keep us stuck, then explore the antidotes to help us move towards higher connection, creativity, and freedom.

What we will explore:

  • A deeper understanding of how to reset our nervous systems to navigate complexity with calm and clarity.
  • An understanding of their personal roadmap towards self-leadership.
  • Tangible tools to create connection and belonging in their work and world.

02

Strengths Discovery Masterclass

Using the CliftonStrengths® toolkit, this interactive session helps teams discover their natural talents and turn them into strengths that drive engagement, collaboration, and impact—even in a world that moves fast and is more uncertain than ever.

What we will explore:

  • A foundational understanding of CliftonStrengths® and strengths-based self-leadership.
  • The ability to identify and leverage their unique talents and those of others.
  • Practical frameworks for giving feedback, coaching and building stronger relationships.

03

High Performance and Wellbeing

Hustle culture is out. Challenge and wellbeing must coexist for humans to truly thrive. This hands-on keynote reframes performance for a new era: less burnout, more presence, clarity, and care. We'll help leaders and teams run meaningful conversations that fuel sustainable high performance and navigate uncertain times with confidence and empathy.

What we will explore:

  • An upgraded perspective on how to build thriving teams and cultures, where wellbeing and performance work in harmony, not competition.
  • An understanding of the neuroscience of calm and connection; and how to balance pace with presence, and performance with purpose.
  • Practical tools for creating trust, engagement and excellence across teams.

04

Bespoke Conversations

Every organisation faces its own version of chaos, change, and disconnection. That’s why I custom-design each keynote in partnership with you, shaping the focus around your specific goals.

How we'll work together

01

Alignment

We start with a 30-minute strategy call to deep-dive into your event’s theme, your audience’s unique challenges, and the specific "unlock" you want to achieve. No generic scripts; just pure strategic alignment from day one.

02

Design

I custom-build the keynote narrative, interactive elements, and supporting tools specifically for your organization. This is the "behind-the-scenes" work where I translate my clinical frameworks into a high-impact experience tailored to your stage.

03

Delivery

A high-impact live experience that blends storytelling with active audience participation. We don't just "talk at" the room; we spark a collective conversation that continues to drive change long after the final slide closes.
