Keynote and EMCEE at Marsh Summit
January 24, 2024David was delighted to be asked to deliver, not only, the keynote at Marsh McLennan’s 2024 Growth Summit but also to emcee the evening awards ceremony.
A Vision for 2024 and Beyond
As the world’s leading professional services firm in the areas of risk, strategy and people, Marsh helps corporate and public sector leaders navigate an increasingly dynamic environment through its market-leading businesses.
Exploring Strategic Intent for the Future
In the months ahead of the event David spent a huge amount of time getting to understand where they are as a business, what their culture is and ultimately getting a sense of what their strategy is and where they’re headed. It was obvious from the outset that this is an organisation with incredibly strong core values and vision. The numerous members of long-serving employees are testament to the incredible commitment that they must being a strong and stable team.
“a true sense of shared success and collective collaboration.”
Marsh’s ‘2024 Growth Summit‘ was designed to think about not only their strategic intent for 2024 but well into the future as well. As a company they are having inspiring conversations about how they can rethink the shape and structure of the industry and how they can continue to stay at the forefront and cutting edge of what is an incredibly competitive landscape. Not only did the event explore the greater macro issues that affect their people and their customers, but it also paid huge attention to the smaller stuff that matters to their stakeholders.
Interactive and Actionable Learning
David’s daytime keynote was designed in a bespoke and custom way to meet the needs of a fast growing, high performing energetic team. In it he looked at some of the proven psychological tools and techniques that can be used to grow impact, to maximise market share, to communicate with confidence, clarity, and impact but also to boost personal and professional motivation and mindset.
He explored the methods and approaches used by business leaders, athletes and high performers in all walks of life and translated that into actionable tools and techniques that the delegates could apply and employ straight away. The dynamic session was packed full of learning and was incredibly interactive with lots for the audience to get involved in and take from.
Recognising Teams That Raise the Bar
As emcee of that evening’s proceedings, it was David’s role to link together all of the presenters and the speakers; to drive energy and enthusiasm and to make sure that every winner got their moment in the spotlight.
Many award ceremonies are just about handing out trophies, but this event truly recognised its people, teams, and projects for not only doing what was expected, but for raising the bar on what’s expected in the future.
David’s Insight into the Event
David said: “My favourite thing in the world is to deliver keynotes. It gives me energy, and particularly when I get to work with a team that is so focused on their own personal development, alongside their incredible level of customer centricity. I’ve worked with Marsh before so was really excited to get the opportunity again.
“It was a real honour to join them for their awards and help recognise those who had constantly gone above and beyond for their colleagues and for their customers.
“it was an honour to recognise those who go above and beyond.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team so ready to celebrate their colleagues. There was a true sense of shared success and shared winnings, and it was a very special experience for me to take part in.
“I’m so grateful to Marsh for involving me in this event and hope we get to work together again soon.”
