Keynote Topics

In this keynote Veli provides valuable insights into how the human brain responds to different leadership styles and behaviors, helping leaders develop more effective strategies for motivating and inspiring their teams.

Personal power is the ability to control your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is the ability to create your own destiny. We all have personal power, but not everyone knows how to access it. This is what the VELI Magic Formula is all about.

This keynote is informative and engaging, and it will leave the audience with a better understanding of the neuroscience of happiness and well-being, and how to use their brain to their advantage to create a happier and more fulfilling life.

One of the key findings of neuroscience research is that peak performance is associated with a state of mind called flow. Flow is a state of deep concentration and immersion in an activity, where time seems to fly by and we feel like we are operating at our best.This keynote is all about helping leaders and their teams reach that state.

In this keynote, Veli Ndaba explores the question of whether leaders are born or made. We will examine the research on leadership and discuss the different factors that contribute to leadership success.

We will also share stories and examples of leaders from all walks of life, and discuss how they developed their leadership skills. At the end of this keynote, you will have a better understanding of what it means to be a leader, and the different ways that you can develop your own leadership skills.
