Keynote Speaking & Leadership Facilitation
“John Dore gave the best talk on organisational culture I have ever heard.”
Senior Executive, Global Telecoms
GLUE: The Organisational Advantage How do you build cohesion, deep connection, and competitive edge in organisations where people rarely share the same room? This keynote introduces the GLUE framework — and challenges leadership teams to look honestly at what's holding them back.
What If Everything You Know About Leadership Is Wrong? Why our assumptions about leadership are outdated — and what it takes to lead with clarity and cohesion in a fractured world of work.
Listening Is Your Leadership Superpower. Forget charisma. The most powerful leadership capability in complex, distributed organisations isn't how you speak — it's how you listen. Practical, provocative, and immediately applicable.
You Don't Know Your Most Valuable People. Traditional performance models and HR processes systematically miss the people who hold organisations together. This keynote shows senior leaders how to find them — and what to do when they do.

The leadership conversation most organisations are having is the wrong one. They're talking about skills, structures, and hybrid working policies. They're not talking about the thing that actually determines whether a senior team performs: the quality of relationships within the firm – in an ‘artificial world’.
John Dore changes that conversation — in keynotes that are thought-provoking, entertaining and consistently described as unlike anything audiences have heard before.
