Michelle Huntington
Accelerate Adaptability Through Thinking Differently
Michelle Huntington, bestselling author of Lady MacGyver, a memoir that isn’t a feel-good story, it’s a feel-something story, draws on her career as an airline captain to show how thinking differently drives adaptability in high-stakes environments.
In aviation, standard thinking isn’t just limiting, it can be deadly. Binary thinking and unconscious biases can quietly stall decisions, erode team performance, and block innovation. Through real cockpit stories and business examples, Michelle demonstrates how teams that embrace diverse perspectives, challenge assumptions, and make adaptive decisions consistently outperform those locked in routine thinking.
Her keynote isn’t about ticking boxes on diversity; it’s about using different minds to solve complex problems faster.
Your audience will take away:
• How to identify and overcome biased and binary thinking
• How adaptability depends on cognitive diversity
• Practical ways to turn varied thinking into decisive action
• The real cost of groupthink on change initiatives
• Frameworks to respond faster in uncertain conditions
Based in Sydney and working globally, Michelle tailors each keynote to your organisation’s challenges, helping your teams think differently, adapt faster, and act with purpose.
