Educate your audiences and raise awareness of the bullying and behaviours that are impacting organisations
Some risks don’t shout.
They erode quietly, until leadership fractures and trust collapses.
Maureen Kyne delivers keynote addresses that help leaders and organisations see what’s been hiding in plain sight, and understand why it matters.
Her work focuses on:
-
upward bullying
-
leadership under pressure
-
workplace behaviour and psychosocial risk
-
creating safe and respectful workplaces
We surveyed CEOs globally, and 94.8% told us it’s important for organisations to recognise upward bullying: but only 9% said their leaders understand the issue.
Maureen is here to close that gap by raising awareness. Every keynote, panel, webcast or podcast helps educate executives and drive change.
Her audience are the leaders who need to understand this issue:
CEOs and executive leaders
HR and governance professionals
Boards and senior leadership teams
Managers and supervisors
