    Change Is a Journey, Not an Event

  • 79% of employees worldwide are disengaged*, costing $438 billion annually in lost productivity, not because they lack talent, but because they lack meaning in their work.

  • Leadership conferences where C-suite executives sit alongside emerging leaders, team retreats spanning multiple departments, and organizational summits bringing together 50 to 5,000 participants who need practical tools that work across every level and function.

  • Purpose is more than a motivational buzzword—it's your competitive advantage waiting to be unlocked. In this inspiring keynote, Iñigo reveals how connecting work to a greater purpose fuels employee engagement, performance, and organizational resilience.

    • Explore the neuroscience behind purpose and its impact on engagement.

    • Discover how to align personal and organizational purpose for greater motivation.

    • Identify a personalized purpose commitment—and define a strategy to stay aligned and accountable.

Purpose-Driven Organizations: The Ubuntu Way

  • While 70% of organizations claim to value collaboration, most still operate in silos* where individual achievement often takes precedence over collective success. The result? Disconnected teams, duplicated efforts, missed opportunities and talent that leaves for cultures where they truly belong.

  • Leadership teams rebuilding post-remote work dynamics, multinational organizations spanning diverse cultures, and forward-thinking companies ready to transform competitive individualism into collaborative advantage—whether you're hosting 75 regional managers or 3,000 global employees.

  • What if we built organizations where people thrived together rather than competing in silos? This keynote explores the South African philosophy, Ubuntu—"I am because we are"—and its transformative power when combined with Purpose. Discover how shared humanity drives innovation, inclusion, and collective success globally.

    • Master Ubuntu principles to cultivate an inclusive, connected workplace culture.

    • Align personal and team purpose to drive collaboration and innovation.

    • Create a personal commitment to Ubuntu-inspired leadership and outline steps to integrate it into daily interactions.

  • 70% of change initiatives fail*, not because of poor strategy, but because they ignore biology. Our brains are literally wired to resist change, yet most leaders still treat transformation like a project timeline instead of a human journey. The result? Exhausted teams, abandoned initiatives, and millions in wasted investment.

  • Organizations in the middle of growth, digital transformation, or market disruption where leaders need their people to embrace change rather than endure it—whether you're guiding 100 managers through restructuring or 2,500 employees through cultural evolution.

  • Change doesn’t happen in a straight line—it happens in waves, emotions, and human moments. In this thought-provoking keynote, Iñigo blends neuroscience, storytelling, and the Change Quest® model by Dr. Britt Andreatta to help leaders reframe change as a shared journey.

    • Explore the brain’s resistance to change—and how to work with it, not against it.

    • Apply the Change Quest® model to guide people through successful, sustainable changes.

    • Make a personal commitment to lead change with empathy—and build accountability into daily actions.
