The Cube Behaviours – Enhancing Everything ‘People’!

Bruce’s trademarked framework helping clients all of the world to have better conversations, reduce stress, improve confidence and enhance communication. Rapidly. 

Offer without fear

Ever felt scared or even apprehensive about speaking up in certain group settings? So has everyone else! This fear is reduced in safe and high performing teams where enhanced psychological safety has been developed over time. Offer Without Fear is a HUGE game changing behaviours for every single client that we work with, regardless of location, industry or culture.

Fact or Fiction Ladder

Biggest Learning – Have YOU ever made stuff up in your head? In every project we analysed, 100% of people-based errors came from incorrect inferences, misinterpretation, and stress driven by non-factual narratives. That’s where our “ladder” begins: What is fact, and what is fiction? Embedding this question into your business language is a psychological performance based game changer!

Inner Hulk

If we can control the ladder, then our Inner Hulk does not show up. The illogical, emotional, knee jerk reaction version of us that does absolutely nothing for our mental health, performance or that of the feelings and performance of others who may be impacted by our Inner Hulk. Everyone benefits from less ‘Inner Hulk’ activation!

Hear others

Do you talk over people? Stop listening to others because you are bored, don’t like what they say or haven’t got the time to listen to them? We all do at certain times! Enhanced active listening skills were more present in safe and high performing teams. This takes training.

Deliver thanks

How much of the time do you reflect on the brilliant work you achieve? Or the great results that the team gets? Probably not enough, like most organisations who pay lots of attention to the negative stuff! Appreciative inquiry helps us learn why we get things right to then repeat the process.

Reflect honestly

Is there anyone who doesn’t get a warm feeling when they sit with other people face to face and they have the time and safety to share how they feel? To learn from what went well and not so well in past efforts but also to apply the 3 previous behaviours to make them feel happier and perform better on the next project.

“The Communication Cube has been the game changer for our team. So simple in its application, it truly resonates at every level and helps everyone stay safe and perform better, and the front-line teams absolutely love it which was a major concern for us”.

Ops Director. Blue Float Energy.

Behaviour Under Pressure That Holds

As a former RAF aircrew member who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone war zones, Bruce knows what it means to perform under real pressure. His work turns high-stakes moments into practiced responses – one cue, one drill, one calm decision at a time. Safety, operations, communication and culture.

He was the Global Lead for Behavioural Safety for Siemens Wind across Europe and The Middle East. Onshore and offshore turbines. He has literally been there and done it in all types of environments, locations and industries working with multiple cultures.

He’s the founder of Huddle Culture, and he has over 350,000 social media subscribers and 30 million views of his videos and his areas of specialty. He also works directly with professional world level boxers and UFC athletes, helping them apply mental performance drills to stay composed in competition – the same techniques he teaches frontline staff to reduce complacency and executives to use in high-stakes boardrooms.

It’s proof that behaviour under pressure can be trained, rehearsed, and made reliable. You can be an ‘a little bit better’ version of you. We all can.

What Leaders Say

Real feedback from real events

Easy to roll out, keeps the teams on the tools and makes everyone better. To use Bruce’s words – what’s not to love!
Siemens – Operations Director What really helped was how little time this takes to roll out and how many people get it, simply as we can all see ourselves in the material!
Siemens – Operations Director His passion for positive, proactive human interaction is obvious. Bruce helps people interact better, understand each other with greater clarity, and comprehend and react to feelings in ways that will reduce unsafe behaviour. National Oilwell Varco - HSE Global Director The safety training that Bruce and the team have delivered has, without doubt, helped us improve our safety culture right across the business. They get our guys, and our guys get them. And that right there, is something to be grateful for. Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions - Operations Director
 Fun, energetic, engaging, challenging, but always done with a smile. In the 20 years I have been involved in safety, I have never come across a company who can create engagement like Bruce and the team, especially with frontline staff. Rio Tinto - UK HSE Director
Safety can always be an evocative area. I found with Bruce’s leadership and unique energy, there is not that many people who can resist for that long. Even the people who can usually kick back find themselves getting involved and that is a testament to Bruce and the teams approach to engagement. Amec - Operations Director Bruce has been a blast over the past 3 days. I can vouch for everyone, by the feedback I have received saying how engaged they were during your presentation in today’s workshops! EDF Energy - HR Director Bruce is clearly an expert in the field of human behavioural science and is able to make a connection with the audience from the first minute with his unique, humorous and energetic style of presenting. JDR Cables - Operations Director I have seen Bruce Durham present many times, but never have I seen and felt his energy like we did in that room yesterday. Having had us in stitches, fear of embarrassment and tears - it was a rollercoaster ride! Thank you for caring as much about this event as we did! Willmott Dixon - Groups Safety Director

Common Questions

Fees depend on event format, location, and customization needs. Keynotes start at competitive rates for corporate events. Virtual delivery options are available at different pricing. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements and budget.

Every keynote includes a pre-brief call to understand your audience, challenges, and objectives. Bruce tailors examples, case studies, and frameworks to your industry and specific context. The goal is maximum relevance – not a one-size-fits-all presentation.

For in-person events, reasonable travel expenses (flights, accommodation, ground transport) are additional to speaking fees. Bruce travels globally and handles logistics professionally. Virtual delivery eliminates travel requirements entirely.

For in-person: standard AV (projector/screen, lapel mic, clicker). For virtual: Zoom, Teams, or similar platform with screen share and video. Detailed tech riders are provided upon booking. Bruce’s team is experienced and low-maintenance.

Bruce delivers polished, professional keynotes without needing a rehearsal. That said, if your event has unique staging, timing, or integration needs, a brief tech check or walk-through can be arranged in advance.

All attendees receive a post-event action guide with key frameworks, exercises, and next steps. Slide decks and additional resources are shared digitally. For workshops, teams leave with implementation roadmaps tailored to their context.
