What Business Leaders say about Alicia Lykos
“Over 14 years with TEC, I’ve seen over 100 speakers. Alicia is in my Top 3 of all time.” Frank Caruso, Founder, Caruso’s Natural Health
“You have gone way beyond what presenters normally do for a TEC group. The PI assessment was great, but the level of service, pre-work and conversations beforehand truly stood out.” Andrew Jetson, Vistage Chair
“I thought this was going to be another “get to know your leadership style” but it was so much more than that.
One of the most engaging speakers we have had. I really enjoyed the topic.”
“Alicia offers an across the board expertise on organisation design, culture, talent development and building a deep performing team – this strength shines when in Q&A on member challenges and opportunities.”
“Too many speakers just deliver their content with minimal or zero prep about the companies in our group. Alicia got down and dirty with real people and data from our business that certainly added value to most of the TEC members – thank you.” Vistage Chair
“Incredibly relevant, some really good insights into what drives and motivates people. It had me questioning… Are my people in the right roles? Do we provide enough training? Can they get better??”
“Alicia provided a space where members could focus on themself and be introspective and reflective in a non confrontational way. She helped people understand themselves better. This was exactly what we needed yesterday.”
The most dangerous phrase in business is ‘we’ve always done it this way.’
Your competitive edge lives in the courage to think and act differently before you’re forced to.
Alicia Lykos isn’t your typical People & Culture speaker
She’s the person CEO’s call when they want someone to challenge everything they thought they knew about people management.
As Founder and Chief Talent Optimiser at Red Wolf Group, Australia’s Premier Predictive Index partner, Alicia combines scientific data with people insights in ways that completely transform how businesses think about their teams.
When Alicia speaks, expect some serious a-ha moments. Her sessions aren’t designed to make you feel comfortable – they’re designed to make you think differently.
There’s a reason she’s only the third speaker ever to be booked over 100 times by the Vistage (The Executive Connection) community.
Organisations like Salesforce, Bedshed, MONA, and Stamford Capital haven’t brought Alicia in for a fluffy HR talk.
They’ve brought her in because she cuts through the noise and delivers uncomfortable truths that actually lead to better business outcomes.
Alicia doesn’t just present – she creates genuine dialogue that challenges executives to see their blind spots. And then she follows through with practical solutions you can implement right away.
Whether she’s working with an intimate group of 10 or commanding a room of 10,000, Alicia’s approach remains the same: question assumptions, back insights with science, and focus on alignment between people and strategy.
Fair warning: If you’re looking for conventional wisdom or gentle reassurance, Alicia’s sessions might not be for you.
But if you want to fundamentally change how your organisation approaches talent and drive real business results, you’ve found your speaker.
