RONAN HARRINGTON
International Keynote Speaker
I'm an acclaimed international keynote speaker that advises world-leading companies on how to create resilient, high performing teams.
As a former futurist to the British Foreign Office and an award winning speaker, I wow audiences with insight, depth and humour.
Industry leaders seek me out because I bring an innovative approach that boosts productivity, engagement and wellbeing. My new equation creates a vibrant team culture where people are self-driven by intrinsic standards of excellence, inspiring each other to do the best work of their lives.
If you want to raise the bar of performance during times of demanding change, and do so in a new way that cares for your people, you need to think differently.
It's time to discover the new equation.

HEAD OF STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
I blend the cutting edge science of resilience with memorable take aways to boost individual and team performance, all delivered with humour and flair.
This makes me the ideal speaker for conferences, leadership off-sites and all hands webinars where clients want to catalyse a shift to a culture of sustainable 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.

Many motivational speakers feel inspiring in the moment, and then we go back to our day to day default mode. That's not good enough. The best work with me because I catalyse a lasting shift in the direction of their people's lives.
My jaw dropping story is a cautionary tale about the pressures of senior leadership and the consequences when get it wrong. Within weeks, I went from the corridors of power to being diagnosed with a lifetime chronic pain condition.
Many motivational speaker have sailed around the world and won olympic gold medals, but these are exceptional stories from the past. I reveal the pressure of being in an ongoing adversity that isn't going away, and this is the insight that people actively drawn upon as they face the ongoing challenges that compromise their own performance.
It's through the stories of others that we come to a deeper understanding of ourselves. By sharing myself fully, I reveal what it truly means to be resilient.
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.
