Behaviour Expert and keynote speaker Anthony Laye helps leaders and teams understand the hidden behavioural system driving every workplace: what he calls The Human Algorithm.
In a world of accelerating technology and automation, Anthony shows organisations that the real advantage is still human - how people think, communicate and show up under pressure.
Drawing on years of experience performing and studying human behaviour in high-stakes environments, Anthony has developed a unique ability to read the subtle signals that shape trust, influence and decision-making.
Through his keynote presentations, Anthony reveals how small behavioural cues - internal dialogue, emotional state, body language, tone and presence - dramatically affect how others respond to us.
When teams and leaders understand this system, they build trust faster, communicate with clarity and make better decisions when the pressure is on.
Audiences leave Anthony’s presentations with powerful insights into both reading the room and regulating their own state, enabling them to lead conversations, strengthen relationships and influence outcomes more effectively.
Because in every meeting, conversation and decision…
People aren’t just hearing your words.
They’re reading your algorithm.
