From Fleur’s work with healthy, high performance across organisations and individuals, there is one thing that she knows that sustains it and that is the ability to manage and master space.
The space between you and others
The space between you and your goals
The environment and the space you are in.
Speaker
People want ideas, empathy, and encouragement to make positive change.
People are struggling with how to deliver high quality work, connect and develop meaningful relationships with their colleagues, be fully present and engaged at home, and invest enough in their wellbeing and energy to balance it all.
People are missing connection to work, to their work, to each other and want a better work
experience than they have had over the last few years of covid. They also want quality opportunities for connection and belonging at work but want to know that time spent out of the office or home will be worth it.
Audiences these days are time-poor, jaded by inspirational quotes, and motivation speaker stories that sound great at the time, but don’t contribute or change anything. They want personal insights, quality interaction with others, and relevant learning that they can action in their lives to make positive change.
Fleur’s highly relatable virtual and in-person keynotes are a blend of education, entertainment, and practical tips that leave people feeling inspired, energised, and ready to act. She works with you to share the key culture and performance messages that you need understood across your organisation to drive positive change.

People that are well, do well.
But we are doing a lot of doing, and not enough well. And this equation is wrong and leads to burnout.
Most of us still operate with the industrial age belief that if we work hard and achieve our targets, we then deserve wellbeing and happiness. But over 10-years of positive psychology and performance psychology research now shows that if we prioritise our health, wellbeing, and happiness first – our productivity, problem solving, innovation and creativity increases by up to 30%.
Discover how developing your resilience skills means you can boost both your wellbeing and performance. You will leave this presentation with a couple of small daily actions that can exponentially increase both your performance and quality of life.
Beating Burnout is about Boundaries not Balance.
In our race for more, we are reducing ourselves to less. And, for many of us, our health and wellbeing is the ‘less’, and the ‘more’ is an endless cycle of busyness, pursuit, and stress.
The way we live today is very different to the way generations before us who had clearly defined roles, work, and a 9-5 working week. The world have work has evolved dramatically but we are stretching ourselves thinly rather than redefining balance, boundaries, and success.
Learn why we say yes when we should say no, and why we say no when we should say yes.
And discover how the secret to achieving healthy, high performance is knowing how to manage your boundaries and master your space.
“Resilience is the critical ingredient to living a balanced and rewarding life. Fleur is the right person to bring this message to the world as she has powerful lived experience to share.
