the utter®
Talks, tools, sessions
Yrsa Daley-Ward is an author and poet, and the founder of the utter®, a brain health company for creative people and the teams they work inside of.
She helps individuals and organisations see how they think and what gets in the way of a clear decision. The work draws on her own history of losing and rebuilding her attention, backed by neuroscience and three decades of putting the mind down on paper.
Who is this for
Individuals finding their way back to their own voice. Founders and leadership teams. Creative teams working at pace. Brands who need to think clearly under pressure. Festivals and audiences arriving for something less structured. Anyone who has gotten fluent in everyone else’s voice and lost the thread of their own.
The Talk
How to Hear Yourself Think
A talk for people who can perform certainty in a meeting, or a room, and still lose track of what they believe. Yrsa breaks down what attention is doing to a generation raised on interruption, and what it takes to hear a true thought before it gets edited by the room, or by the voice in your own head. Personal, specific, built to move a room past performance and into something real.
45–90 minutes. For teams and organisations: a keynote or a workshop. For festivals and more intimate rooms: an evening of poetry and reflection, built around reading and unpacking the work with the room.
Soft Interrogations.
The physical tool behind the talk. A 70-page tearaway pad built to get a team past small talk and into honest thinking, used in meetings and creative resets.
Available for bulk orders and event integrations.
