Vicky O'Farrell is a behavioural strategist who helps organisations address the UK's employee engagement crisis through small but powerful shifts that transform both professional and personal relationships. Her work focuses on translating behavioural insights into measurable workplace improvements.
Vicky founded Queen of Behaviours in 2013 after 25 years in corporate roles, advancing from sales to board-level director. She holds qualifications in personality profiling and has presented to thousands at conferences including the National Sales Conference. Her client base spans individual leaders, small teams, and large organisations across multiple sectors.
Vicky's approach centres on a fundamental principle: we can’t change other people’s personalities, but we can flex and adapt our own style to get the best out of those around us. She teaches executives and HR professionals to identify behavioural patterns in themselves and others, then apply specific adjustments that reduce workplace friction and increase productivity. Her methods directly address the statistic that only 10% of UK employees report being engaged at work (Gallup 2025), a factor contributing to burnout and organisational inefficiency. By helping leaders understand what motivates different personality types, Vicky provides tools to re-engage team members through targeted, behaviour-based interventions.
Audiences learn to recognise their own behavioural defaults, adapt their leadership style to different personality types, and implement small changes that strengthen both professional relationships and business outcomes. Her sessions combine psychological frameworks with immediately applicable workplace strategies.
Vicky works exclusively with clients committed to active learning and growth, delivering sessions that turn the foundations of human behaviour into concrete leadership skills.
Topics, sessions and talks
In her signature talk, Vicky O'Farrell highlights the importance of self-awareness in leadership. She explores how actions, words, tone, and body language influence team dynamics and culture. Attendees will learn to identify their blind spots, transform them into strengths, and understand the silent impact of their communication style. By prioritising people, leaders can enhance performance and foster inclusive environments. This session promises actionable insights, grounded in emotional intelligence and engaging stories.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in the corporate world, Vicky O'Farrell discusses how sales is fundamentally personal and revolves around building relationships. She highlights that understanding diverse personalities and fostering trust are crucial for sales success. Vicky encourages sales leaders to shift from judgment to curiosity about what drives their clients. Attendees will learn how to identify client styles, address human dynamics to improve performance, and recognise when to support the sales person to retain clients effectively.
Vicky O'Farrell addresses the challenge of unmanaged behavioral conflict in organisations. She emphasises the importance of recognising misunderstandings before they escalate into blame, which distracts leaders from achieving results. Attendees will learn how to identify and manage conflict effectively, foster teamwork, and create a culture of understanding and respect, ultimately enhancing organisational performance.
In this workshop, Vicky O'Farrell uses personality profiling to help participants gain insights into their strengths, communication styles, and motivators. This understanding helps in navigating rules, problem-solving, and engaging in difficult conversations. Attendees will learn how to adapt their styles to enhance teamwork, improve communication, and reduce conflict, ultimately leading to increased productivity and more effective management.
