INTERACTIVE
WORKSHOPS
LEADERSHIP
RETREATS
These are intensive retreats held in non-business environments which examine each participant’s
DNA as a leader. They are highly introspective and require a good team atmosphere of trust.
They do not provide an off-the shelf formula to follow to become a good leader. There is a heavy
accent on finding the right questions, exploring the personal answers and sharing with others a
personal journey. These retreats are led personally by Leandro Herrero .
KEYNOTES
Speaking Engagements – what we offer:
Keynotes
The current business environment
across the world is facing
unprecedented challenges.
Fundamental shifts in the way
organizations work have taken
place, yet we still use old
management and leadership
toolkits, created at a time of a
more predictable and linear world.
Are we equipped for the new
VUCA organization? How can we
lead in this new environment?
Keynotes
20 questions: leading
change in VUCA land
(volatile, unpredictable,
complex and ambiguous)
“Dr Herrero recently spoke at two conferences and the impact has been exceptional. The words and concepts communicated at
the events have now gone into the DNA of the business”
Simon Alldridge
MD Ashtead Performance Group
A tale of two worlds:
information and
behaviours (why
change programmes
fail)
Most problems in day to day
management can be traced to the
mistaken assumption that
communication is change. It isn’t.
There is no change unless there is
behavioural change, so no amount
of communication can create
change.
Behaviours create cultures, not the
other way around. Cultures are not
created by training. A guide for the
perplexed based upon his book
Homo Imitans.
Building Remarkable
Organizations
Quality, excellence and having a
passion for what you do is the
norm, probably ‘no more than
average’ and certainly not enough
to call yourself
remarkable. Designed to ‘ask all
the right questions’, this keynote
examines 10 of the components
that can help an organization on its
journey towards becoming
remarkable. This is about
encouraging you to raise the bar
for excellence and ask ‘what if?’
Keynotes
“We were lucky enough to have Dr Herrero speak at our company conference on the power
of Viral Change™. He was a fabulous speaker”
Jennifer Cerny, SCS Boehringher Ingelheim Comm. V
Viral Change™: the
alternative to the 80%
failure rate of ‘change
management’
Highlighting the key concepts of
the pioneering Viral Change™
programmes and the book of the
same title, this is an insightful
tour into the only real alternative
to traditional, top-down and
mechanistic ‘management of
change’.
The 10 inconvinient truths of
management of changes in
‘the era of activism’
There is no difference between
micro and macro-social change, a
fact largely ignored in business.
Organizational change is viral
change, an internal social
movement, or it isn’t. This keynote
addresses ten inconvenient truths
about the management of change
and brings closer to each other
social activism and internal
activism.
Employee engagement:
debunking the myths,
making it happen
Employee engagement has
become an industry in its own right.
The old house of the ‘psychology
of motivation’ has been refurbished
and redecorated. But most
companies are not going far
enough. Would employee self-
management be the ultimate goal
of employee engagement? This
keynote challenges the traditional
concepts of employee engagement
as commonly accepted.
“Best presentation by far and extremely thought provoking”
Delegate Comment
European Communications Summit
Accelerators
Following a book of the same
title this is a ‘crash course’ on
remarkably simple, low cost, high
impact changes that can be
implemented in any organization
that wants to improve radically,
provided it has the ambition to
adopt unconventional thinking.
Disruptive ideas
Organizational and business
transformation and change may
not be enough. ‘Rebooting the
system’ may be the best
accelerator. Identifying sacred
cows and elephants in the room
may be a good start. Ten more
steps and you’ll be in reboot
mode. Which are they? This is a
practical workshop providing
both assessment and roadmap
tools ending in a game plan that
can be tracked.
Reboot! The Game Plan
Leandro
Herrero or his
team
These are short interventions of 1 or 2 days that accelerate the pace of change, or enhance leadership or innovation.
The create a fast alignment of the team, a common understanding of issues and a shared commitment to action. In this
‘compressed time’, the Accelerators bypass long and windy brainstorms getting everybody in the same page, with a set of
actionable commitments.
Innovation has been hijacked by
process junkies and tool vendors.
Whilst we need tools and
processes, most innovation is
behavioural. No wonder many
processes have become
straightjackets and many tools
are underutilized. ‘It's behaviours,
stupid!’ A practical workshop
focused on the behavioural side
of innovation and how to create a
true behavioural DNA regardless
of the existence of tools.
InnovACTions!
Keynotes The beta
Organization™
‘Unfinished by design’, the Beta
Organisation™ masters the art of
flexibility, the bravery
of the co-existence of various,
often contradictory
organizational and business
models within the same firm,
and the abolition of the word
‘change’ due to complete
redundancy: change is its normal
way of life. What are its
characteristics and
how can we build one of these?
A practical seminar to ‘stay in
beta’
Workshops
Leandro
Herrero or his
team
From a book of the same title this
is an invitation to find twelve
types of new thinkers and new
leaders, and then find jobs for
them. Exactly in that order.
Practical seminar to identify the
types and asses their value for
your organization.
New leaders wanted, now
hiring
Shifts: the new rules of
management
‘Although we all acknowledge
that the business environment
has different rules of the game
and that we navigate in an
unpredictable and fast moving
one. People are still using old
toolkits designed and developed
when that business environment
was much ore linear and
predictable. What are the new
rules, perhaps snot taught in
Business Schools? How can we
create new toolkits? This is a
practical and engaging seminar
to explore this issues and
challenge old assumptions.
Books

“Dr Herrero gave an inspiring presentation at our annual leadership kick-off underlining that leadership is the
biggest asset to transformation” Markus Fuhrmann, Telefonica Germany
The Leader with Seven Faces
Leadership Retreats
This is a three or four day intensive executive retreat
held in a non-business or training environment
exploring the seven faces of leadership at both
personal and group level. These faces, as described
in a book of the same title, are what leaders say,
what they build, where they go and take other
people with them, how they do it, ‘what’ they are and
what they actually do. Exclusive for top leadership
and management teams. Pre-seminar reading is
required. The focus of this retreat is on having the
right questions, not off the shelf answers. It goes
quite deep into the leader’s DNA. The Seven Faces
provide a roadmap for introspection, self-
assessment, awareness and call to action. The group
dynamics facilitate the individual and shared
commitment.
Keynotes
The 3S Boot Camp for leaders
Executive leadership retreats
An alternative four day executive, leadership retreat to
master the art of introspection through silence only
disrupted by group sharing of insights and guest
speakers from the non-business world. Unfortunately
blackberries, laptops and smartphones are completely
banned in the premises for the entire duration of the
retreat. Each participant is also coached twice by
Leandro Herrero before, and after the retreat. The 3S
stand for silence, stillness and solitude, at the core of
many forms of old Western and Eastern religious
tradition. This is not a religious or New Age retreat but
we borrow the 3 traditional S which the modern leader
is in desperate need of. It is as down to earth as
Pascal’s statement that “All of humanity's problems
stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
He might have today referred to leadership.

This is a practical workshop providing both assessment and roadmap tools ending in a game plan that can be tracked. Reboot! The Game Plan Leandro Herrero or his team These are short interventions of 1 or 2 days that accelerate the pace of change, or enhance leadership or innovation. The create a fast alignment of the team, a common understanding of issues and a shared commitment to action. In this ‘compressed time’, the Accelerators bypass long and windy brainstorms getting everybody in the same page, with a set of actionable commitments. Innovation has been hijacked by process junkies and tool vendors. Whilst we need tools and processes, most innovation is behavioural. No wonder many processes have become straightjackets and many tools are underutilized. ‘It's behaviours, stupid!’ A practical workshop focused on the behavioural side of innovation and how to create a true behavioural DNA regardless of the existence of tools. InnovACTions!

  • 10. “Dr Herrero gave an inspiring presentation at our annual leadership kick-off underlining that leadership is the biggest asset to transformation” Markus Fuhrmann, Telefonica Germany The Leader with Seven Faces Leadership Retreats This is a three or four day intensive executive retreat held in a non-business or training environment exploring the seven faces of leadership at both personal and group level. These faces, as described in a book of the same title, are what leaders say, what they build, where they go and take other people with them, how they do it, ‘what’ they are and what they actually do. Exclusive for top leadership and management teams. Pre-seminar reading is required. The focus of this retreat is on having the right questions, not off the shelf answers. It goes quite deep into the leader’s DNA. The Seven Faces provide a roadmap for introspection, self- assessment, awareness and call to action. The group dynamics facilitate the individual and shared commitment.
  • 11. Keynotes The 3S Boot Camp for leaders Executive leadership retreats An alternative four day executive, leadership retreat to master the art of introspection through silence only disrupted by group sharing of insights and guest speakers from the non-business world. Unfortunately blackberries, laptops and smartphones are completely banned in the premises for the entire duration of the retreat. Each participant is also coached twice by Leandro Herrero before, and after the retreat. The 3S stand for silence, stillness and solitude, at the core of many forms of old Western and Eastern religious tradition. This is not a religious or New Age retreat but we borrow the 3 traditional S which the modern leader is in desperate need of. It is as down to earth as Pascal’s statement that “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” He might have today referred to leadership.
