Conscious business practices are becoming increasingly widespread. Many companies are incorporating environmental, social, and ethical considerations into their business models and decision-making processes. In this talk Margot argues that while a business may look conscious (through greenwashing
practices) this is selling itself and the world short. When leaders become conscious, they can create win-win-win outcomes that surpass their expectations and make billions for their stakeholders. Doing good and good business are synonymous when we raise our level of adult brain development. In this talk Margot will show how to increase social responsibility through thinking at higher levels of cognitive development. She will then provide a simple model of how to raise consciousness through working strategically in a rapidly changing world. The outcome is
humanly enhancing cultures, strategic breakthroughs, environmental stewardship, and corporate social responsibility. While this might sound too good to be true Margot’s track records proves it is possible and she will show you how.

Working closely with MD’s of major transnationals Margot has led programmes to create cultures that “light the fire inside people” so that they reach past what is assumed to be possible. In this talk Margot will share the art of creating humane, functional, highly productive cultures where people enjoy creating strategic breakthroughs in a way that is socially and environmentally enhancing. Drawing on her experience with supporting turnarounds, mergers, IPOs and creation of World Benchmark cultures Margot will inspire and entertain you, so that
you know that life, work, business and strategy can light up the human spirit and the world while creating unexpectedly good bottom line results.

For 30 years Margot had a working partnership with Greig Gailey. She served as his mentor and headed up the culture and strategic change programmes of the companies that Greig led. Together they created billions of dollars of shareholder value through creating cultures that empowered people to take personal responsibility, grow their consciousness and work constructively with all their stakeholders, enriching communities and the physical environment. Greig served as the Chairman of Caltex and in many public positions including Chairman of the Minerals Council of Australia, Chairman of the International Zinc Association (Brussels), Treasurer and Council Member of the International Council for Mining and Metals (London) , a board member of the Australian Mines and Metals Association and President of the Business Council of Australia. In this talk Margot will share the journey she and Greig took together and what made Grieg a
truly exceptional leader.

Old style strategy resulted in a document with long-term objectives and action plans. Increasingly we know that strategy is best viewed backwards. Strategy is how well you respond when the world changes. Companies that survive and thrive in times of rapid change are those who know where they are going, can adapt (pivot) in an instant and capitalise on change as it happens. This means they are companies with leaders who are constantly learning and growing, not just intellectually but also in terms of their adult brain development (consciousness). Based on her years of experience supporting leaders of transnationals through billion-dollar changes such as mergers, turn-arounds and IPOs Margot will provide a simple model for creating humanly enhancing, rapidly growing, highly successful businesses in times of rapid change.

COVID showed us that everything can change very quickly turning our plans and world upside down. Disruption also happens to victims of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, bush fires and cyclones. Drawing on her years supporting those recovering from personal and natural disasters, this talk shares heart warming stories of people who faced disaster, failure and horror, and like the phoenix, rose from the ashes to create happy, healthy lives that make a difference. Margot will argue that whether you are the leader of a transnational, victim of a disaster or someone recovering from mental illness, you can benefit from everything that
happens to you. She will provide a simple proven road map to create joy and peace of mind – regardless of whatever change comes your way.
