We’re not short on time, we’re drowning in stuff that doesn’t matter.
Too many meetings, too many tools and way too much noise. What we don’t have is clarity or space to focus on what really matters.
Red Brick Thinking™ is Donna McGeorge’s most in-demand keynote, a high-impact, high-energy session that introduces the art of strategic subtraction. Instead of constantly adding more, Donna shows audiences how to remove what’s in the way and unlock progress with less.
Red Brick Thinking™ flips the instinct to add, fix, and hustle harder when solving problems or when things are not going according to plan.
It challenges default behaviours and outdated systems that no longer serve and replaces them with clarity, simplicity, and intentional action.
Rooted in Donna’s global experience in productivity and leadership, this session inspires practical, immediate shifts that participants can apply the next day.
Donna blends laugh-out-loud moments with “aha” insights that leave audiences energised and ready to act. Her now-famous red brick metaphor, where removing a single red brick fixes a lopsided bridge, delivers a powerful visual on how subtraction often leads to better outcomes than addition.
