About Ronan Harrington: Keynote Speaker on Resilient High Performance
I'm a keynote speaker on Resilient High Performance: the art of delivering results under pressure while adapting to constant change.
As a former Futurist to the UK Foreign Office, I advised senior government leaders on geopolitical risk and predicted many of the disruptive forces now reshaping the corporate landscape.
Today I work with industry leaders navigating AI transformation, market volatility, and organisational restructuring, helping their teams perform under pressure and lead with clarity through uncertainty.
The Resilient Performance Method™
I'm the creator of the Resilient Performance Method™, a practical model of performance under pressure developed in collaboration with all four Big Four firms: Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG. Proven as a win-win for productivity and wellbeing, it offers a pathway to becoming a high performer with a low risk of burnout.
The model has been delivered to leading organisations including Accenture, L'Oréal, Siemens, Sky, Aviva, A&O Shearman, DLA Piper, IHG, TUI, Sage, Kellogg's, Kimberly-Clark, the UK Treasury, and Oxford University.
Why Clients Trust Me
Clients regularly commission company-wide rollouts of my keynotes and workshops, cascading a shared language of high performance from junior team members to executive leadership. That shared language is what makes cultural change stick, and it's why organisations tend to book me twice: once for the keynote, then again for everyone else.
I'm ranked a Top 10 Resilience Speaker by London Speaker Bureau and a Top 8 High-Performance Speaker by Chartwell Speakers, and was shortlisted as one of the UK's Top 5 Live Speakers and Storytellers at the Speaker Awards.
Why Audiences Believe Me
What sets me apart is lived experience. After crashing and burning in the limelight of national politics, I received a life-altering chronic health diagnosis. I'm still in it, seven years and counting. I report from the front lines.
When I speak, audiences enter a resilience story still unfolding, one that resonates because we all find ourselves in the messy middle of life. In turbulent times, organisations need guides who don't just teach resilience. They live it. That's the difference I bring.
