Find Another Gear
A high-energy keynote about what it takes to lift performance, rebuild momentum and keep going when the pressure is on and the number still has to be hit
Check availabilityFor people carrying a target, leading through pressure and being asked to lift again
When the old gear stops working
Working harder in the same way eventually stops being enough
The target is still there. Expectations have not softened. The pressure has not disappeared. But the approach that got the team this far is no longer creating the same result. At that point, performance becomes a choice about how quickly people can adjust, what they are prepared to change and whether they can create momentum before they feel it
Finding another gear is not about pretending everything is positive. It is the ability to respond when things get difficult, reset without wasting the next opportunity and keep performing after the easy motivation has gone
Shane knows that response personally. His experience gives this message weight, but the focus stays where it belongs: on your people, the pressure they are carrying and what they choose to do next
The keynote
Built for people who are expected to perform
Find Another Gear speaks directly to salespeople chasing targets, sales leaders carrying a number, executives making decisions under pressure, founders trying to build momentum and teams being asked to lift again
Anyone can perform when momentum is on their side. The real test comes when the deal falls over, the quarter gets harder, confidence takes a hit, the plan stops working or the result is taking longer than expected
That is where another gear matters
What the room walks out with
More than a lift in the room. A stronger response when it counts
Reset faster
Stop carrying one setback into the next call, decision or opportunity
Rebuild momentum
See how confidence, capability and action work together when results slow
Perform under pressure
Keep making clear decisions when the stakes rise and the easy answers disappear
Raise the standard
Take responsibility for the effort, discipline and response the next result requires
Move with intent
Leave ready to lift effort, take the next action and go after the result again
Resilience is not passive endurance. It is the ability to respond, make the next good decision and move
Sales and leadership
When the number doesn’t care how you feel
The market does not lower the target because the team had a bad month. Customers do not buy because confidence needs a boost. Leadership still requires decisions when the easy answers are gone. This is where resilience becomes commercially relevant: in the speed of the reset, the quality of the next decision and the willingness to act before confidence returns
Why Shane
Lived, not learned from a framework
Shane did not learn resilience from a book. After a serious workplace incident, he had to rebuild capability, confidence, livelihood and identity over a long period of time. Progress was not automatic, and motivation was not always available
You do not always get to choose the setback. You do get to choose what you do next
That experience gives him a direct, human way to talk about pressure without softening the commercial reality or turning the keynote into a recovery seminar
