ABOUT THE PRESENTER: DAMIEN GOODEN

Damien Gooden is a business owner, people leader and self-confessed lover of people’s stories.

After more than 25 years in small business, he’s become fascinated by a simple question: why do we do what we do, and how did we become that way?

What began as an “HR problem” in another business grew into HR Central Group, but the real lesson wasn’t about Human Resources. It was about the Human Story. The habits we form, the stories we tell ourselves, the routines we never question and the behaviours that quietly shape our success.

Damien loves hearing how people got to where they are today. Their wins, failures, turning points and blind spots. Because hidden inside those stories is usually the answer to what makes them tick. Over the years, he’s discovered that understanding people is far more interesting, and often far more valuable, than trying to manage them. Drawing on decades of experience working with business owners and teams, Damien brings a practical and often challenging perspective on awareness, behaviour and change.

His message is simple: most of us aren’t as busy as we think we are… we’re programmed. The trick is learning which programs are helping us, which are holding us back, and having the courage to change them.
