People, culture and performance expert; former McDonald's and Bunnings HR leader, author of Bullies, Blamers & Bludgers
Blythe Rowe spent over 13 years in senior Human Resources and Organisational Development roles at global organisations including McDonald's Australia and retail giant Bunnings before founding her own training organisation. She is widely recognised as a People, Culture and Performance expert — and as someone who does not shy away from the harder conversations about what actually drives performance in organisations. She is the creator of the Business Connection Model, a framework built around the five things organisations must do to connect the hearts and minds of their people, and the author of Bullies, Blamers and Bludgers — a book on a mission to rid workplaces of toxic behaviours and build relationships worth keeping.
Rowe holds a Masters in Management Enterprise and a Bachelor of Business, is an accredited NLP practitioner and coach, and is a Global Partner of the About my Brain Institute, offering brain-based assessments and solutions. That combination of qualifications and frontline experience — she describes herself as a closet nerd who loves to keep learning — means her content is both intellectually grounded and practically applicable. She has a reputation for telling it like it is, with warmth and a healthy dose of humour.
Rowe suits conferences, leadership programmes and team days where organisations want their people genuinely challenged rather than simply affirmed. She delivers high-energy keynotes, training workshops and one-on-one leadership mentoring, and is equally effective whether the brief is culture, engagement, performance or change. She also works as a facilitator and master of ceremonies.
Blythe Rowe is a keynote speaker based in New South Wales who speaks on business strategy, change management and leadership. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
Keep doing what you are doing! Hit the target and captured everything I was hoping to achieve with the team on the day. I valued the practical skills and it was very specific for what our team needs to develop.Wyong Council
Blythe is an inspirational leader, someone who really motivates and is the true definition of what leadership is. I had the honour of working with and hearing Blythe in action and that is something that has inspired me to aim high and achieve my goals. The passion and energy that Blythe brings is just something that really does inspire you to work hard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Blythe and hope one day down the track to work with her again.Bunnings
Blythe recently facilitated an excellent discussion and interactive session on generating behavioural change within organisations for our Comm's Networking Forum. The audience, made up of senior HR and communication specialists, is very discerning. Blythe won them over from the outset with her warmth, wit and insightful and informed content. Blythe provides the perfect balance of intellectual rigour and entertainment making her an ideal guest speaker on topics related to people, culture and leadership...or similar.Loulaki Blue
