Speaking Topics
We don’t have a time problem; we have a clutter problem. Too many commitments, too much noise, too little space to focus.
What if the key to success isn’t adding, but removing?
Red Brick Thinking is about intentionally subtracting. Identifying the unnecessary, cutting the clutter, and making space for what truly matters.
In this keynote, I challenge the default mindset of accumulation and explore how removing, not adding, leads to better outcomes in work, leadership, and life. Through engaging stories, practical strategies, and design-thinking principles, I’ll show how true progress happens when we strip away the excess.
Attendees will walk away with:
A new lens for problem-solving focusing on subtraction instead of addition.
Practical tools to declutter schedules, meetings, and mental load.
The confidence to say no with intention and create space for what truly drives impact.
Because in work and life, the best solutions aren’t built by adding, they emerge when the unnecessary is removed.
Practical Strategies for a Fulfilling Work Life.
Revolutionise your approach to work with practical, actionable insights that will empower you to thrive in today’s fast-paced world.
