Our Keynotes

Our story of reconciliation

Rhys Paddick walks through his personal journey, explaining how we use our good intentions to integrate modern and traditional cultures to create a third culture: people culture. He’ll address some basics in Aboriginal cultural awareness, and seed ideas for cultural application within your organisation. One of the tools he’ll briefly unpack is Acknowledging Country. This keynote will leave participants feeling more informed, confident and curious to learn more. 

It Starts with Me

Emma Gibbens draws on her decades of working on political and advocacy campaigns to explore how each of us can be an agent of change. Helping identify your voice inspires continuous and courageous action. Whether you take big actions or little ones, each individual can embrace their power and play a role in the journey of reconciliation. This keynote will leave participants inspired and excited to participate in change.

Custom Keynotes

Rhys and Emma's ongoing conversation goes in many directions and we're happy to design something custom for your audience! We've developed custom keynotes for international audiences, executive leadership summits, youth conferences, and many more. To develop a custom keynote we host a 30 minute discussion with you to explore the experience you want us to facilitate, and we'll send back a reverse brief to confirm the direction.
