Ronan Harrington is an authority on resilience and high performance. He advises industry leaders on how to create healthy, high-performance cultures that boost productivity and wellbeing, especially in times of rapid change and uncertainty. A former Lead Futurist to the Foreign Office, where he advised government leaders on geopolitical risk, Ronan predicted many of the disruptions that now define today's world. He combines this forecasting expertise with resilience methodologies to help organisations perform under sustained pressure.
Ronan is the creator of the Resilient High-Performance Method, a practical model developed in collaboration with Deloitte, PwC, EY and KPMG. Striking a balance between productivity and wellbeing, it gives leaders and teams a clear pathway to performing at their best through periods of sustained pressure and change. The model has been delivered to leading organisations including L'Oréal, Siemens, A&O Shearman, DLA Piper, Sky, Aviva, IHG, TUI, Sage, Kellogg's, Kimberly-Clark, the UK Treasury and Oxford University with many using Ronan's work to build a shared language of high performance across every level of the organisation, creating lasting, measurable cultural shifts.
With a science-based approach to resilient performance, Ronan offers practical tools that help teams operate at their best without compromising their physical or mental health. He explains why burnout is a public health issue, not a personal failure, and outlines the steps organisations must take to prevent it. He addresses how to deliver results under pressure whilst adapting to constant change, helping people navigate AI transformation, market volatility and restructuring with clarity through uncertainty.
After rising quickly to senior roles in government, Ronan experienced burnout and received a life-altering chronic health diagnosis. He continues to learn about resilience, and his experience brings depth, honesty and credibility to his request that we rethink the way we perform, lead and thrive in a demanding world.
