Welcome to Avril Henry

Since 2003, Avril transformed her career from an extensive, award winning corporate experience into the hugely successful and widely popular keynote speaker, author and corporate motivator that she is today.

Forming Avril Henry Pty Ltd as a way to consolidate all her experience and skills under one identity, Avril has taken her organisation to the next level by working with senior leadership teams and employees from organisations such as IBM, Commonwealth Departments of Defence, Education, State Health Departments NSW, Queensland, Victoria, Optus, BHP Billiton, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, IBM, Astra Zeneca, University of Western Sydney and many more.

Senior management can lead employees on how to communicate more effectively with one another. But first, senior management must learn how to do this themselves. Keynote and workshop topics from Avril such as "Leading in Challenging Times", "Motivating, Managing & Surviving Different Generations at Work", "Communicating Positively", "Winning Together Teamwork", "Resolving Conflict Constructively" and "The Business Case for Diversity" will introduce senior management to a greater understanding of how to motivate and manage all employees to interact with each other and management more effectively.

Avril's new book released on 15 May 2012

Avril is excited to have launched her latest book in Sydney on Tuesday 15 May 2012, and the upcoming launch in Brisbane on Wednesday 23 May 2012.

Leadership Revelations II How Australians Lead In Crises revisits Avril’s first book, Leadership Revelations, An Australian Perspective, which was written in 2005 at the height of economic prosperity when jobs were plentiful and human resources scarce.

Now, however, the economic environment both here and internationally has changed markedly, providing an opportunity to tap into the lessons learned by well known Australians in sectors as diverse as not for profit, small and large businesses and government.

The book is unique in its approach in that it asks those at the top of their field to define their leadership style and share what they have learned. It also conveys the thoughts and insights of academically gifted university students who share what they want from their leaders in the future. 

Avril believed that whilst collecting the thoughts and insights of current leaders was important, so too was understanding what is expected of future leaders. Avril wanted the book to chart the transition of leadership and highlight the changes that have occurred and will need to occur in what is a rapidly changing world. The book also identifies the key crisis management strategies that were used by the contributors to sustain and even grow their business or organisation’s operations. 

The book makes clear that organisations which invest in leadership development have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the benefits of improved financial performance, higher levels of employee engagement and retention, and a greater ability to adapt to business changes.
