Better Me: The Foundations of a Better Day at Work

Working on ourselves is the foundation of a strong team and culture and it’s fundamental to creating a better world of work.

Difficult clients or team members, challenging working environments, deadlines – they can all shape our work life – but too often we allow our mood, behaviour and satisfaction to be controlled or driven by others.

Based on over two decades driving transformation at companies including Goldman Sachs, Westpac and AMP – Cathal discovered a pathway to empowering people to achieve excellence for themselves and their organisation. As the founder of Better@Work and host of the podcast of the same name, Cathal identified three ingredients workplace scientists agree are critical to success: self-awareness, confidence and purpose.

In this session he’ll share the humorous and unexpected ‘aha moments’ he’s collected across his career and from interviewing the leading experts in behavioural science. You’ll walk away with clear frameworks and actionable ideas for taking the reins on your work and life – because it all starts with me.
