Colleagues talking and laughing together in an office
Corporate Keynote · Ben Ho

Your team, read out loud.

The Menagerie Keynote puts Talentbank's 12 work-animal archetypes in front of a room. Ben Ho, our CEO, shows your people how they are built to work, and why the colleague across the desk works nothing like them.

The talk

12 animals, one room.

The Menagerie Method is Talentbank's career personality framework: 12 work-animal archetypes measured across four dimensions. In the room, people recognise themselves, then the colleague they have been quietly frustrated with. It is about self-awareness and how teams fit together, with enough humour that nobody feels examined.

Paid session Built to strengthen how a team works together.
The twelve Menagerie Method work animals together: lion, eagle, owl, fox, dolphin, bear, elephant, horse, bee, cheetah, peacock and octopus

Who it is for

Companies, conferences and leadership offsites.

Annual dinners, town halls, leadership retreats, sales kick-offs, HR and industry conferences. It works for a boardroom of 12 or an auditorium of several hundred, shaped differently for each.

What your people take away

Useful on Monday, not just memorable on the day.

A language for the team

Once a room shares the same vocabulary for how people work, difficult conversations get noticeably easier.

Honest self-recognition

Not flattery. People leave clearer about their own strengths and, more usefully, their blind spots.

Fewer avoidable frictions

Most team friction is a difference in working style read as a difference in intent. Naming it defuses a good deal of it.

Your speaker

Ben Ho.

Ben Ho

Founder & Chief Executive Officer,
Talentbank

Founder of Talentbank and author of The Career Playbook. Ben built the Menagerie Method.

How it works

Four steps.

01

Write to us with your date, venue and rough audience size.

02

Mavis confirms whether Ben is free and shares the fee for your format.

03

We shape the session around your organisation and what you want people to leave with.

04

Ben delivers it, and your team gets a language they keep using afterwards.

Formats

Three ways to run it.

The keynote

Around 45 minutes on stage. The full 12 archetypes, why they clash, and what to do with that. Best for larger audiences.

Keynote with live results

Your team takes the 10-minute assessment beforehand, and Ben reads the room's actual composition back to them live.

Half-day workshop

The talk, then structured work on your real teams, for leadership groups who want decisions, not just insight.

Want to go further than a session? Our team building programme takes the Menagerie Method into a full day or an offsite, run by our facilitators, with Ben on request.

A note on fees.

This is a paid engagement, quoted per event on format, audience size, location and tailoring. Travel and accommodation outside the Klang Valley are handled separately and openly. Mavis will give you a straight number before you commit to anything.

Check availability

Speak to Mavis.

Ben's diary is the constraint, as much of it is committed to ministry and university engagements. Send your date, venue and audience size early, and Mavis, our Group Secretary, will come back on availability and fee.

Curious what the framework is first? Take a look at the Menagerie Method, or try the assessment yourself.
