Keynote Speakers in Sydney

David Ferrier is an internationally award-winning keynote speaker based in Sydney, recognized as the best keynote speaker at a major international conference in Iran in 2013.

Effective communication shapes our lives, and the way we interact is often learned from our parents, who in turn learned from their own. This talk delves into both how we communicate with ourselves and with others, exploring the significant impact these patterns have on our lives. David provides insights on how to relearn behaviors that don’t serve us, replacing them with effective communication skills.

In this compelling presentation, we tackle high-risk responses that negatively affect our interactions, replacing them with active and reflective listening techniques. These skills not only help ensure accurate understanding but also demonstrate genuine engagement. Importantly, we often listen to ourselves more than anyone else, which is why addressing our internal dialogue is crucial.

Key Topics:

Roadblocks to Communication

Drawing on a humorous story from a trip to Bali, David discusses common barriers to effective communication and how to overcome them.

The Secrets of Reflective and Active Listening

Learn how to reflect back what someone is saying through techniques like reflection of feeling, reflection of meaning, and summative reflection. These powerful skills can dramatically enhance your communication.

Mastering Self-Talk

Explore the concept of the “monkey mind”—the internal chatter that influences our lives. This segment focuses on the importance of monitoring our internal dialogue to inspire ourselves rather than being controlled by it.

The Power of Body Language

A single gesture may seem insignificant, but when combined with others, it forms a non-verbal “sentence.” Since body language conveys 55% of meaning, tone accounts for 38%, and words only 7%, understanding these dynamics is essential. In this engaging talk, David shares insights on how body language impacts our interactions.
