The Neuroscience of Clarity, Commitment & Execution
Success starts with a clear vision, however it’s sustained through the behaviours and mindset that bring it to life. Whether in leadership, business, or personal growth, achieving meaningful outcomes requires intentional action, resilience, and effective communication. In this keynote, Vannessa McCamley introduces the D.R.I.V.E. Model (Determine purpose, Reflection, I Am Statements, Vulnerability, Exert Energy into learning something new), a neuroscience-backed approach to aligning your goals with daily habits. Learn how to sharpen your decision-making, create a roadmap for success, and build the confidence to execute your vision with purpose.
