The Behaviour Behind Leadership, Culture and Performance
What's it like to be on the receiving end of you? Keynote speaker Vicky O’Farrell helps leaders understand how their behaviour shapes culture, trust and performance.
Understanding the Behaviour Behind Business Success
As a behavioural expert and keynote speaker with over 25 years of corporate experience, I progressed from Sales to Board-level Director before founding Queen of Behaviours. That journey gave me a front-row seat to the real impact behaviour has on people, culture and performance, and why understanding it matters more than most leaders realise.
I’ve had the privilege of speaking to thousands of professionals, including at the National Sales Conference and TEDx. My keynotes invite leaders to pause and ask a powerful question: what’s it like to be on the receiving end of you? Through honest reflection, behavioural insight and practical examples, I help audiences understand the ripple effect their behaviour has on others, and how small shifts in awareness can strengthen leadership, culture and organisational performance.
Keynotes That Transform Leadership and Culture
The way we show up as leaders shapes the experience others have of us, and the culture they work in. These keynotes challenge audiences to pause, reflect and understand the ripple effect of behaviour at work.

What’s it Like to Be on the Receiving End of You?
Our words, actions, tone and body language all shape the experience others have of us. In this keynote, Vicky O’Farrell challenges leaders to ask a powerful question: what’s it like to be on the receiving end of you? Drawing on behavioural insight and emotional intelligence, Vicky helps audiences see themselves from the outside in, recognise the impact of their leadership style, and turn behavioural blind spots into strengths that strengthen teams, culture and performance.
Beyond the Pitch
People buy people. Sales isn’t just about the pitch, it’s about the relationship before, during and after it. In this keynote, Vicky O’Farrell explores why understanding people is the competitive edge many sales teams overlook. Drawing on her years of experience in sales and leadership, Vicky shows how recognising different behavioural styles can transform client relationships, strengthen trust and improve performance. By shifting from judgement to curiosity, sales professionals learn how to connect more effectively with prospects, colleagues and clients.
Turn Behavioural Conflicts into Cultural Strength
Every organisation says people are its greatest asset. But when people don’t get on, that asset can quickly become a liability. In this keynote, Vicky O’Farrell explores why conflict itself isn’t the problem, avoiding it is. Drawing on behavioural insight and real workplace dynamics, Vicky helps leaders recognise and address behavioural conflict before it undermines teams. By building greater awareness and understanding of different behavioural styles, leaders can turn tension into teamwork and create stronger, more effective cultures.

International Podcast Host
It Starts With You is the international podcast I host exploring the behaviours that shape leadership, workplace culture and the experience people have at work.
Through conversations with leaders, experts and professionals from around the world, the podcast explores the human side of business, the behaviours, perspectives and everyday interactions that influence trust, performance and culture. Many of the themes reflect the thinking behind my keynotes: that the way we show up as leaders creates a ripple effect that shapes the people and environments around us.
