Ronan Harrington

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 UK Foreign Office, Ronan predicted many of the disruptions that now define today’s ‘permacrisis’. He now combines this foresight expertise with resilience methodologies to equip organisations to perform under sustained pressure. Ronan’s Resilient Performance Method is trusted by leading organisations including Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, L’Oréal, the UK Treasury, and Oxford University. Balancing both productivity and wellbeing, his approach is tailored towards fast-moving companies that want to raise performance standards while caring for their people.

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. Alongside these techniques, Ronan shares his story of rising quickly to senior roles in government, only to have the weight of responsibility lead to burnout and the onset of a debilitating chronic pain condition that he still manages today. His experience brings a depth, honesty and credibility to his call to rethink the way we perform, lead, and thrive in a demanding world.
