Keynotes that
move the room
Talks on connection and psychological safety for conferences, town halls, offsites, and more.
The Connection Edge
Drawing on stories from Google boardrooms, the Ireland Rugby camp and prison landings, Ronan makes the case that connection isn't soft. It's the hardest edge a team can have. Expect stories over slides, moments of genuine connection in the room, and practical takeaways people use the next morning.
Three ways to connect
Connect to Perform
When people feel connected, they are more engaged, more willing to take smart risks, and better able to collaborate. We create the conditions for people to speak up, contribute fully and do their best work together.
Connect to Lead
By developing emotional intelligence and strengthening our inner facilitator, we build the self-awareness, confidence and relational skills needed to lead with greater impact.
Connect for Ease
When relationships are strong and the team climate is healthy, work can become a source of energy rather than depletion - supporting our emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
What audiences
take away
- The evidence for why belonging and psychological safety drive performance
- Stories from the most demanding team environments in the country
- A shared language and practical tools for connection
- Energy, and something worth talking about afterwards

In the workplace and the boardroom
“Ronan's session was like nothing our team at Google had experienced before. He unlocked communication bottlenecks and forged a genuine sense of team purpose and connection.”
“Ronan has an innate ability to connect with people and a special understanding of how to design a safe space for people to achieve tangible, sustainable outcomes.”
“From day one it was clear we were in safe hands with Ronan. He struck a perfect balance between helping people feel supported and offering a healthy challenge to dig deeper.”
