You know how so many people hate going to work on Monday mornings? One of two things happen, their Mondays are either manic or mundane. This sets up unproductive weeks, negatively impacting their performance and the business, causing even more stress and friction in the workplace. My talk identifies the key to creating magic Mondays for employees, leadership and the business overall. Through creating purpose, and combining it with three key principles, inspiring performance and leading to maximised profitability. That means more money with less stress!

When she’s not transforming the leadership landscape or delivering powerful keynotes, Innocente is a dedicated dog mom.
Despite technological advancements, the work culture of the Industrial Revolution still dictates workforce practices today, leading to dehumanisation and inconsistent performance. This presentation examines workplace practices and their impact on productivity, demonstrating how motivation theory and "happy hormones" can enhance motivation. It also explores emotional intelligence and its role in connecting with the workforce.
Transformational HR can position a company’s HR function as a strategic business partner. This presentation delves into increasing discretionary productivity through the Engage, Focus, and Perform approach. It links performance management, organisational culture, leadership, and employee engagement to a positive work environment, concluding with a process flow for addressing related issues.
Scaling businesses often overlook employee purpose. This presentation addresses the loss of purpose during organisational growth, using psychological theory to describe changes in larger organisations and their impact on smaller ones. It emphasises motivational theory and purpose-driven work to align organisational and employee goals, ending with a process for aligning individuals to their new roles.
This workshop helps participants create and achieve organisational goals through a two-step approach: understanding the participant’s realities, obstacles, and opportunities, as well as understanding the person who needs to achieve the goal. It includes accountability in goal performance, resulting in well-defined goals that align with participants' values and increase their impact on the business.
Innocente is a well-prepared, lively and engaging speaker. I met her at a presentation that looked into the interface between human resources and design thinking output. It was enjoyable and easy to tap into her wealth of experience and knowledge about people, behaviour, performance and science. Dealing with her is an energizing experience and you will walk away with practical solutions to try out, at the very least with some substantial food for thought.
Innocente's contagious energy and insightful facilitation of the TGI Monday talk, makes the words on the screen come alive. My team began the day as they would any other day, however after the talk, we continued our day with a new perspective on tackling the challenges ahead. The power of understanding one's strength, and that of one's team members, can change the way a team thinks about problems and solves those problems. Mondays have become days filled with productivity and positivity.
Innocente is a passionate and energetic speaker who will leave audiences motivated to take on Monday's with more enthusiasm and less dread. Reframing Mondays into days of purpose is Innocentes strength. I highly recommend her as a speaker, facilitator and MC. She will enliven your team and fuel you for a motivated week.
“In 2018 we made a decision to engage with Innocente, wow! what a stroke of luck. Her positive approach energized our management team and workforce. For once our employees felt they belonged and started to ‘care’ about our business. This increased productivity, reduced wastage, and resulted in better relationships in the company, improved margins, and happy shareholders. We were stuck in the past and would not have been in a position to survive the devastating state of our economy if we didn’t follow the advice from Innocent and accept more current HR approaches.”
“I attend a business coaching session presented by Innocente (PerformForward), to be frank I assumed it would be just another one of those long-winded meetings you can’t wait to get out of. Innocente however was amazing, really made it worth attending, actively engaging with all who attended and challenged us on various levels. I personally learnt not only about myself but about managing various people, situations and cultures morning session.I was extremely impressed and if offered the opportunity would definitely attend again.”
