You Already Have Your Future Leaders

Why succession starts with recognition, not recruitment.

Most organisations believe talented leadership shortages are solved by searching externally, when the real opportunity is often already inside the business. This keynote reveals hidden blind spots that cause leaders to overlook high-potential people and show how recognising, developing and unlocking existing talent creates strong succession, retention and performance as well as being far more cost effective. This presentation is for senior leaders, HR and talent teams, people managers and organisations that want to build stronger leadership pipelines, improve retention and stop overlooking the future leaders already in front of them. All detail is based upon peer reviewed research and delivered with warmth and humour.

“Look closer before looking elsewhere”

Key takeaways:

  • Recognise overlooked talent earlier to strengthen succession and reduce reliance on external hiring.
  • Create the conditions that grow high-potential people into confident, capable leaders.
  • Unlock greater performance, retention and growth by maximising the talent you already have.

Thank you so much for your very rewarding, compelling, interesting, warm and funny presentation last night. It was a real success.

Lynda was highly recommended to us and as such we asked her to speak at our Brighton Summit. After receiving some great feedback from attendees and lots of members regretting having missed her session, we decided it was essential to get her back for another event. Lynda then spoke at a one of our Spotlight Supper events. Her talk was very engaging and highly relevant to the audience. We could have taken questions all night! Lynda was a real pleasure to work, super friendly and easy going. I highly recommend her as a speaker.

I had the pleasure of being on a panel with Dr Lynda Shaw, and to say she is knowledgeable is an understatement. Lynda’s ability to breakdown the concepts of neuroscience and deliver it to journalists was impressive. I learned an awful lot in the short time through her fabulous style of delivery and presentation.
