Most speakers talk about leadership.
Alicia decodes it.
Most leadership speakers inspire for a moment. Alicia creates lasting change.
As a behavioural strategist, she brings science, data and immersive experiences into the room to uncover what’s really driving people challenges—using the actual leaders and teams in front of her, in real time. Rather than delivering a keynote, Alicia facilitates hands-on sessions where leaders actively experience how personality shapes performance, why misalignment occurs, and how everyday decisions around hiring, promotion and leadership impact results.
The shift is immediate. Leaders recognise patterns they’ve long felt but never fully understood—and gain practical frameworks to act on them. That’s why organisations don’t just engage Alicia for inspiration. They come back for transformation that continues long after the session ends.
“I thought this was going to be another get to know your leadership style session. It was so much more than that.”
CEO, Vistage Member
“This was the first time I have seen people measures linked to business outcomes.”
CEO, Vistage Member
“Not another leadership talk. One
of the best we have experienced.”

Why Alicia founded
Red Wolf Group
Alicia Lykos has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of human behaviour, organisational performance and business growth.
Her work is built on a single conviction: that the organisations who learn to predict their people will be the ones who predict their growth.
She founded Red Wolf Group with a clear purpose: to help organisations bring science, data and behavioural insight into the people decisions that shape business performance. Today, Red Wolf works with leaders and organisations across Australia to translate that methodology into practical, measurable change. The work spans leadership development, team diagnostics, hiring strategy, engagement analytics and bespoke people programs designed around each organisation’s specific goals and strategy.
Six sessions.
One conviction.
Quick reference
Predict your people, predict your growth.
Every session begins with Your Behavioural Blueprint and builds into one of six immersive experiences, each designed to give leaders the insight and practical frameworks to make better people decisions immediately.
1. Flagship Keynote
Predict your people, predict your growth. The organisations winning in the decade ahead will not simply be those with the sharpest strategies.
2. Predict your Leadership
Understand and predict how you show up as a leader before it shows up in your results.
3. Right Person, Wrong Role
Predict fit before it becomes a performance problem. Leaders profile a real role from their business in the room and see the results immediately.
4. When Strategy Meets Behaviour
People execute strategy. Which means when a great strategy fails, it is almost never a strategy problem.
5. The Engagement Myth
Most organisations measure engagement. Almost none predict it. This session changes that.
1. Conversations That Drive Performance
Leaders do not simply learn about communication. They experience their own.
Lead with Confidence
about
alicia lykos
Alicia Lykos has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of human behaviour, organisational performance and business growth. Her work is built on a single conviction: that the organisations who learn to predict their people will be the ones who
predict their growth.
Before founding Red Wolf Group, Alicia spent more than fifteen years inside some of the world’s largest technology organisations, working her way through senior Human Resources roles before spending the final six years as an HR Director reporting directly to the CEO. These were data-driven environments where every major business decision was grounded in evidence and analytics. Sales teams tracked pipeline with precision. Finance teams forecast performance to the decimal. Operations teams measured and optimised every process in the business.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL PEOPLE & CULTURE SPEAKER
Alicia Lykos is Founder of Red Wolf Group and a leading authority on predictive talent strategy.
Her approach is based on a simple premise: leaders learn best by doing, not listening.
In her executive decision labs, participants work through real decision-making scenarios. From hiring calls, team diagnostics to performance predictions, Alicia sessions confront exactly where participants' instincts lead them astray. Through immersive simulations, behavioral data, and commercial frameworks, Alicia shows leaders how to make high-stakes people decisions with confidence and clarity.
Unlike traditional speakers who talk about people strategy, Alicia puts you in situations where you have to apply it. The frameworks you leave with aren't theoretical, they're forged through experience.
Based in Sydney, Alicia works with CEO peer groups, executive teams, and private equity portfolio companies across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.
Executive
Decision Labs
This is for growth-focused leaders who:
- Learn best by doing, not listening
- Get frustrated by theoretical frameworks that don't translate to real decisions
- Respect data over instinct
- Want to scale without the typical people problems
- Are tired of reacting to underperformance
- Are ready to be challenged
Our Difference
This Is Not a Keynote
Alicia doesn't deliver talks you sit through.
You're placed in real decision-making scenarios. Assessing candidates. Diagnosing team dynamics. Making hiring calls under pressure. You experience firsthand where your instincts fail you and then learn how to make these decisions with clarity and data.
The difference:
Participants are in the driver's seat. You're not listening to case studies. You're working through live situations, confronting your own blind spots, and building frameworks you'll use immediately.
Sessions are customized for:
CEO peer groups, executive leadership teams, private equity partners and operating executives, board retreats, and leadership forums.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
This isn't observation. It's immersion.
You'll make decisions. Get immediate feedback. Experience the cost of getting it wrong. Learn the frameworks that help you get it right.
You'll be put in real situations:
Live hiring simulations where you assess candidates and make selection decisions, then see the predictive data that reveals what you missed
Team diagnostic exercises where you map your current team structure and identify hidden performance drag
Decision-making scenarios that expose the gap between how you think you evaluate talent and how you actually do it
Commercial cost modeling where you calculate the real P&L impact of common people decisions
Core Topics
Stop Guessing, Start Predicting
Work through real hiring and promotion scenarios. Learn to make high-stakes people decisions with the same rigor you apply to financial decisions.
The Hidden Cost of Gut-Feel Hiring
Experience why instinct-based hiring creates expensive problems. Build predictive frameworks through live case work.
Designing Teams That Can Actually Execute
Map your leadership team dynamics. Diagnose gaps. Design structures for performance, not politics.
From Reactive to Predictive
Work through scenarios that show you how to spot performance issues before they happen and make better decisions upfront.
