Malcolm kicks things off with live handwriting analysis of 5–6 participants — a fast, fun icebreaker that instantly energises the room and reveals how different people really are… and why those differences can become a powerful advantage when aligned to a unifying goal.

This is not a sit-on-your-bum keynote — it’s an interactive, experiential experience. Participants don’t just listen; they engage, reflect, and take home practical tools they can apply immediately. (Workbook included for sessions over 90 minutes.)

From there, Malcolm takes participants through a sequence of high-impact tools and insights:

  • The $ Advantage of Trust – Why trust is the ultimate performance multiplier in leadership, teams, and the bottom line.
  • What Beats the #1 Best Sales Rule – The surprising principle top performers use to outperform even the classics.
  • Getting On with Anyone – How to connect with “headline people” who want the short version vs “full-story people” who crave detail and colour.
  • The Power of Ignoring – Why learning what to dismiss is just as important as knowing what to focus on.
  • The Blindspot Mirror – Becoming aware of the psychological and skill blindspots that silently hold you back.
  • Telling Your Future on Projects, Commitments and Life – How to spot the habits and patterns that either drain or direct your time, energy, and success.
  • The Value Effort Matrix – A tool for unclogging your bandwidth and amplifying your real performance drivers.
