Peter Anderton’s 2023 talks & topics

MAXIMISE YOUR TEAM JUICE
What is it? Only 20% of the fuel in your petrol tank moves your car forward. The rest of it goes to waste through exhaust, friction and everything else. Barmy, isn’t it? What about your team? How much of their energy is moving forwards – and how much goes to waste? If you know your team could be more, if you know deep down you’re not making the most of YOUR team juice, this is the perfect place to step up their motivation – and yours. Who needs it?
If your audience see any of the challenges below in their teams or organisations, then Peter’s talks, packed with useful, practical nuggets that can be applied with immediate effect, provide exactly what they need to fix it. He can focus on some or all of them:
1. Apathy – somehow problems end up as yours, not theirs
2. Mediocrity – your team frequently deliver enough, but rarely more
3. Exhausted – they could shine, if only they had the energy
4. Indifference – too few love what they do, too many watch the clock
5. Disservice – customers are often underwhelmed
6. Carelessness – mistakes are being made and no-one seems to care
7. Unfulfilled – it’s clear they’re not happy – but what do they need?
8. Absent – what, again?
9. Turnover – why is it always the best staff who move on whilst the bad ones stay?
10. Unproductive – too much of what needs to get done today is carried over to tomorrow
11. Disengaged – bad attitude rubs off and behaviour slides to the lowest common denominator
12. Stagnant – things just don’t seem to get better

CPR THE THREE SECRETS OF EVERY HIGH-PERFORMING TEAM
What is it? It stands for Connection, Potential and Reason. CPR is the beating heart of a high-performing team. We can call it leadership, but it’s so much more than that. Teams performing at their best, pulling together, and heading in the right direction are built upon it. Teams flagging, lacking connection and struggling with a mish-mash of goals are desperate for it. Of course, most teams are somewhere between the two, with too many falling a lot nearer the latter than they want to be.
Who needs it? If your audience identifies with any of the challenges below, then Peter’s talks provide the solution.. He can focus on one, a few or all of them:
* Late – key projects fail to deliver on time
* Unfocused – can’t agree on the most important goal
* Siloed – primary focus is on own teams and agendas
* Slow – actions are rarely completed on time
* Spinning – problems are discussed but not solved
* Passive – individuals frequently nod in agreement without truly agreeing
* Unresolved conflict – has left ‘elephants in the room’ that are only discussed in private
* Divided – there are factions within the team
* Bored – team members find any excuse not to attend meetings

THE TWO RULES EVERY LEADER SHOULD KNOW
What is it? This session is not about collecting theories. It’s not about imitating other leaders. And it’s not about creating more work. The truth of leadership is being buried deeper and deeper under a complex assortment of models, theories and experts. Peter’s aim is to clear away the junk to reveal the ultimate truths of leadership. Truths that are sharp, powerful and simply waiting to be applied. Everything you need to know about leadership comes down to only two rules. The rest is just noise.
Who needs it? If your audience has one or more of the challenges below in their teams or organisations, then Peter’s talks provide exactly what they need to fix it. He can focus on some or all of them:
* ‘Us and them’ – employees say ‘they’ more than ‘we’
* Silos – good collaboration is hard to find
* Same-ness – diverse perspectives are not valued
* Office politics – people save what they really think for private ‘corridor’ conversations 5 Stuck – repeating the same mistakes
* Negativity – too much energy is spent focusing on what is wrong
* Lack of creativity – too few fresh ideas
* ‘Checked out’ – employees are working without energy or passion
* Ambiguous – expectations are vague, detached from the bigger picture, and everything is a priority 10 Poor role models – we have managers whose behaviour undermines core values
* Rigid – too much resistance to change
* Distrust – trust and confidence in management is low
