THE SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
The Conditions Advantage
Creating workplaces where people and performance thrive.
Wellbeing programs aren't failing. They're succeeding perfectly, at treating the symptoms of a system nobody wants to question.
The organisations that win the next decade won't be the ones with the best perks. They'll be the ones who design the conditions people can actually be well inside of. The Conditions Advantage is a keynote for the leaders, teams and conferences ready to build that advantage within workplace culture.
Not a talk pulled off a shelf. One built on your conditions.
Amy Green is a workplace wellbeing keynote speaker and author of The Wellness Paradox.
the future of sustainable workplace culture
What if the key to better performance, engagement and retention isn’t asking more from your people, but creating better conditions for them to do their best work?
In The Conditions Advantage, Amy Green challenges leaders to rethink how work gets done. She explores how workplace conditions, from stress and leadership to autonomy, flexibility and ways of working, shape people’s ability to perform, grow and thrive.
Designed with you, not just for you
Most keynotes are the same talk, delivered to a different room. This one is built on yours.
Before each event, Amy surveys the audience to uncover their real workplace experiences, their stressors, strengths, frustrations and ideas for improvement. These insights are woven into the keynote, making every presentation relevant to the people in the room rather than simply delivered to them.
Amy then brings the data back to the audience, revealing themes, trends and patterns in what their people are experiencing and connecting those insights to practical opportunities for change.
The result is a bespoke, data-informed keynote that helps organisations understand their people and create conditions where they can work productively and purposefully, feel trusted and supported, and have a life beyond work, building workplaces people love and don’t want to leave.
How The Conditions Advantage Works
The Conditions Advantage starts before Amy steps onto the stage. Through pre-event audience insights, Amy brings your people’s real experiences, strengths, stressors and ideas into the keynote, creating a conversation that feels relevant to the room and provides leaders with valuable insight into the conditions shaping how their people work and thrive.
How does amy customise each keynote?
Over 40 hours of work go into one keynote, before you ever see Amy on stage.
40+ hrs
Collecting, weaving and reporting back across three phases, for a single engagement.
1 -
Before The Room
Collect The Data
Weeks out, your people complete a short, confidential survey that assesses the conditions they're working inside; where the load sits, where coping has become the standard, what's working and what isn't. This is the audience input that happens before anyone's in the room.
2 -
During — The Keynote
Weave it in, live
On the day, that data runs through the talk. Your audience doesn't hear about wellbeing in the abstract, they hear their own words and patterns reflected back and reframed. That's what makes a room lean in. It's their story, told through data and wellbeing science.
3 -
After — The Follow-through
Share the findings
After the event, you get the data back, a clear read on the conditions shaping your workplace and where to focus first. The keynote becomes the start of something, not a one-off hit of motivation that has faded by the time you get back to the office.
WELLBEING ISN’T AN ADD-ON.
IT’S PART OF HOW WORK WORKS.
Too often, workplace wellbeing is treated as something extra, the morning tea, yoga class, gym membership or reactive initiative introduced when people are already struggling. Amy sees it differently.
Wellbeing isn’t simply something employees manage outside work. It’s shaped by the conditions people work within, and those conditions influence how people perform, engage, connect and contribute.
Amy challenges the idea that wellbeing is soft, fluffy or separate from business performance. Her approach brings individual and collective responsibility together, helping organisations move beyond perks and programs to examine how work itself can support both people and performance.
Because when we create better conditions for people to work in, we create better conditions for people to thrive in.
Inside the talk
What happened. How we got here.
Where to next.
Wellbeing spend has never been higher; more apps, more programs, more perks. And yet burnout keeps rising and good people keep leaving. The Conditions Advantage shows why those two aren't a contradiction, and what actually separates the workplaces people can be well inside of from the ones they are struggling to survive in.
Movement 01
What happened
We turned wellbeing into something you buy, schedule and perform. Amy names why the programs keep succeeding at the wrong thing: treating the symptoms of a system nobody's willing to question.
Amy asks us to look beyond the symptom to the cause.
Movement 02
How we got here
From a well-meaning idea to one of the largest industries on earth, one that depends on people staying tired. Amy traces how ordinary human things, rest, movement, connection, got packaged and sold back to us, and how coping became the currency of a good employee.
Movement 03
Where to next
Amy shows what the workplaces winning the next decade do differently, designing the conditions people can be well inside of, so wellbeing stops being a perk you add on top and becomes the way we view workplace culture, and how you can do this too.
Built for your room
The spine of the talk stays; the middle flexes to your audience. Whether I'm speaking to people, leaders or executives, a room of founders and entrepreneurs, or a conference stage of a thousand, the story is shaped to the people in front of me, never delivered off the shelf. It's built from pre-collected data, and responds to current workplace trends your audience connects with.
Audiences will leave
The Conditions Advantage ready to:
Rethink workplace wellbeing, moving beyond surface-level initiatives to examine the conditions that influence how people actually experience work.
Address stress at the source, with greater permission to identify and reduce workplace stressors rather than simply asking people to become more resilient to them.
Reject the people-or-performance trade-off, understanding that looking after people and building high performance can happen together.
Own their part in creating change, recognising that workplace wellbeing is both an individual and collective responsibility, not one person’s job to fix.
'Amy Green is one of the premier minds in wellbeing today. She brings an innovative and almost maverick approach to wellbeing that is so needed in a sea of same. She is one of the people who will help us bring a systems approach to this important area, that is not only practical but incredibly effective'.

Topics Amy speaks on.
Every keynote and workshop Amy delivers is designed for your audience and your moment. No off-the-shelf content. No generic talk dropped into your context and hoped for the best.
Amy speaks to what she's seeing across organisations building sustainable workplace cultures, the trends, the patterns, and the shifts already reshaping the future of work, and what all of it means for the people in your room. The four areas below are where those conversations most often begin, and each one is shaped to your sector, your audience, and the moment your organisation is in.
Beyond Work-Life Balance
Work and life were never meant to be in opposition. The organisations moving ahead have stopped treating them as a trade-off and rethought how work itself is done.
Redesigning Work in the Age of AI
When AI gives us time back, most organisations rush to fill it with more of the same work. But those who are benefiting most are asking 'What can we do differently that AI exists?'.
Being Well at Work
We're more wellness-aware than ever, so why are we more exhausted than ever? Wellbeing at work isn't just an individual task, and it isn't only the organisation's job. What if it's both?
Success Across the Generations
Every generation in your workforce is redefining what success means, often in ways that no longer match the model your organisation was built on. What happens when they stop chasing the version they inherited.

A keynote starts the conversation.
These are how you keep it going. Two ways to move from a powerful moment on stage to real change in how your organisation works.
Diagnostic
The Culture
Audit
Find what's actually driving or blocking your team's performance, before you spend another dollar on wellbeing.
Most wellbeing budgets get spent on the visible stuff, the perks, the programs, the morning teas, while the conditions underneath go untouched. The Culture Audit looks past the surface at how work is actually designed: where the load sits, where coping has become the expectations, and which inherited "this is just how we work" assumptions are costing you your best people.
You come away with a clear read on the conditions shaping your culture, and a list of the things that will actually move the needle.
Not an engagement survey. Not another scorecard.
Build with Amy
Creating Your Workplace Wellbeing Framework
Build the wellbeing framework your organisation actually uses, not the one that looks nice on the wall.
Culture and wellbeing fails when it's a set of activities bolted onto broken conditions, with no shared sense of what you're even aiming for. This is a co-designed framework that gives your organisation one language for culture and wellbeing and a clear picture of who is responsible for what, at the individual level and the system level.
It's built on the conditions that let people feel, work, team and lead well, so it becomes something you design into how you operate, not something you schedule once a term.
Not a template. Not a poster for the wall.
