Turning Ambition Into Achievement
To do differently, we have to think differently. We all want to be better, but how do we turn our thoughts into powerful drivers of relevant and meaningful actions?
Blame Looks Backwards, Responsibility Looks Forwards
How to create genuine ownership within our teams – the real difference between commitment and compliance.
Engagement- Rhetoric or Reality
Understanding the true motivators in the workplace, and how we need to change our view of what we believe an organisation is.
Responsibility
Why the key ingredient of success is choice? How to enable people to ‘choose’ their way to more and greater success.

The Rogue Monkey
Creativity is something we unlearn! How can we learn it back and see innovation as an asset!
I’ve invited Jamil to speak in front of various International teams and every time, he has delivered a thought provoking, energetic and fun performance that has really inspired the audience. For me, the single best outcome, is that after the session people are thinking; thinking about how they feel and how they act in everyday situations and also answering their own “why’ question. Now my teams are better equipped to conquer the challenges ahead and are all seeking to achieve.
Very insightful and able to drive real change.
I was privileged to attend a session Jamil ran on the psychology of high performance. He is an excellent speaker and has the special ability to connect deeply with his audience through an informal, fun and engaging style. His message about the ingredients of high performance is profound but he delivers it through stories which makes it highly accessible and relevant. I have heard many different speakers over the years and would not hesitate to recommend Jamil as one of the very best I've come across.
