RONAN HARRINGTON
International Keynote Speaker
As a Futurist to the UK Foreign Office, I predicted many of the defining events of today’s Permacrisis world.
I now combine my dual expertise in resilience and future trends to help clients thrive amid pressure and disruption.
My Resilient Performance Method is used by leading organisations including Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, Sky, the UK Treasury, and Oxford University.
Celebrated as a win-win for productivity and wellbeing, it's ideal for fast‑moving companies who need their people to dig deeper without burning out.
If you want to raise the bar of performance and care for your people, you need to think differently.
It's time to discover the new equation.

Ronan is a world class resilience teacher. His ability to connect leaders with themselves and each other is rare.
John Waterfield
HEAD OF STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
In my hugely entertaining keynotes, I introduce a science‑based approach to sustainable performance, with practical tools teams can apply immediately.
This makes me the ideal speaker for conferences, leadership off-sites and webinars where clients want to catalyse a shift to a culture of resilient high performance.
Ronan gave the key-note speech to all 200 of our Senior Financial Services Consulting Leaders on the topic of ‘resilience versus endurance’. Our Leadership Team are still talking about it and it has prompted a very healthy and open discussion about how we build resilience for ourselves and our people.
Thank you Ronan – you were brilliant.
HEAD OF FINANCIAL CONSULTING
Scott Wheatley
Industry leaders work with me because I have a gift for inspiring audiences.
My jaw dropping story is a cautionary tale about the pressures of senior leadership and the lasting consequences when we get it wrong.
With remarkable vulnerability, I share how I went from the corridors of power to being diagnosed with a lifetime chronic pain condition. Clients often describe being deeply moved by my story and credit me with inspiring a deeper commitment to change.
Now more than ever, we need guidance on how to keep going in the face of adversity. I show how even the most difficult of circumstances are an invitation to transform.
I left Ronan’s talk truly speechless and determined to take better care of myself. He tells his resilience story through sharing deeply moving lived experiences, anchoring it with compelling science, breathing it to life with humour and relatability – a rare, powerful alchemy that goes so far beyond a typical “keynote speaker” it seems a miss to even refer to it as that.
Essential. Inspirational. Human.

Ronan gave a very inspiring and engaging speech and touched everybody in the room – intellectually and emotionally. He organised a very good mix between presenting facts & figures, giving practical tips and initiating short breakout-sessions to ensure full engagement of all participants.
Ronan fulfilled 100% of our expectations.
