What Keith Speaks About
Keith’s talks and workshops explore how identity, emotion, self-regulation, flow, comparison, and meaning shape the way people adapt under pressure and through change. His work is especially relevant for audiences navigating transition, uncertainty, performance demands, educational growth, or identity reconstruction.
Topics
Identity, comparison, and competition; flow, self-regulation, and performance; major life transitions and psychological adaptation; veteran reintegration and life after service; education, confidence, and human development; meaning, resilience, and positive development.
Formats
Each session can be adapted for the audience, context, and desired level of interaction, from keynote-style talks to highly participatory workshops. Formats include keynotes, interactive talks, experiential workshops, educator trainings, small-group transition programmes, and research-informed programme design.
