This time of year brings new goals and plans. But what actually helps sustain performance once the early momentum fades?

Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes have spent years exploring that question through conversations with athletes, leaders and performers across sport and business. What they have landed on is refreshingly clear.

High performance is not about the launch. It is about what happens on a difficult Tuesday in March, when no one is watching and the easy motivation has gone.

A few things that really landed:
✅The principles transfer, but only if you let them. Elite sport offers valuable lessons when you look at the systems and habits that drive results, not just the mythology around them.
✅The highlight reel can be misleading. What gets celebrated publicly rarely reflects what drives performance privately. It is the recoveries, the adjustments, the unglamorous consistency that matter most.
✅Pressure reveals, it doesn't create. Setbacks expose what is already there. High performing teams understand this and build their culture with it in mind.
✅Experience compounds when it is practical. Lived experience only really matters when it is distilled into something others can apply.
✅Usability beats inspiration. People do not need more motivation in January. They need ideas and frameworks that still make sense in July, when everything feels harder, and priorities collide.

That shift from “great story” to “we should try that” is where the real impact sits. It is what keeps teams moving when the new year energy wears off, and it is just work again.

Here is to goals that last beyond the first quarter, and to building the systems that help them stick.✨

What keeps you going when purpose stops feeling like enough?

In our recent conversation with endurance swimmer and ocean advocate Lewis Pugh, he reminded us that purpose gets you started, but when conditions turn brutal, you need something deeper to keep moving. His stories aren’t just remarkable feats of endurance; they’re practical lessons for anyone navigating pressure, uncertainty and ambitious goals.

Lewis shows teams how to:
🌊 Stay adaptable when the plan falls apart
🌊 Manage fear so it doesn’t take the lead
🌊 Find the small, personal reasons that fuel perseverance
🌊 Build mental resilience through routine and mindset
🌊 Break overwhelming challenges into achievable steps

For organisations facing fast change or complex decisions, his perspective cuts through with clarity and humanity: the kind that sticks long after the session ends.

If you’re looking for speakers who bring this level of insight, inspiration and real world relevance, our team will be happy to find the right voice for your next event.

A serial entrepreneur, startup investor and tech leader, Alex Depledge knows what it means to build, scale and survive. From founding successful businesses to shaping the UK’s startup scene, she’s seen first-hand how resilience, realism and reinvention make the difference between lasting growth and burnout.

In our conversation, she shared what true leadership looks like when optimism meets obstacles:
✅ Tough times reveal who’s built for longevity, and not just success.
✅ Strategy matters, but grit matters more.
✅ Speak your mind — honesty creates trust, not trouble.
✅ Systemic change (like childcare reform) is the key to real equality in business.

Alex’s story is a reminder that leadership isn’t about perfection, but about persistence, purpose, and knowing when to fight for the hard things that actually move the needle.

🗣️ “I’m more of a wartime CEO — and I’m in my element.”

✨ If you’d like Alex, or another expert on leadership, innovation and resilience, to share their insights at your next event, get in touch with our team. We’ll help you find the perfect speaker to inspire action and drive change.

New systems, new structures, new “we’re pivoting again” moments. It can be exciting, exhausting, and sometimes a bit of both, which is exactly why great change management speakers matter.
The best ones don’t just talk about transformation. They make it feel human. They help people connect to what’s shifting, find their place in it, and move forward with a bit more confidence (and maybe even optimism).

We pulled together ten brilliant change management speakers to show just how wide that world is: from cultural shifters to business rebuilders, people experts to strategists. These are a few of our favourites, but honestly, there are so many more we could have included.

If your team is navigating change right now (and let’s face it, who isn’t), have a read and see who resonates.
