Yes, conferences, events and business strategy days can be dull and monotonous. Organisational development programs can be a drain. And leadership development programs sometimes don’t impact the way they should.

I’m such a speaker.

Book Sydney’s leading brand strategist today.

From short and sharp presentations to staff through to keynote speaking at your next conference or event, I’ll inspire, entertain and educate. I’ll engage and enlighten. And I’ll have your team motivated to take your brand to the next level!

Let’s Talk

Brands are fluid.

They’re a creation that your business lives and breathes.

They keep moving, transforming, evolving.

Custom developed or out of the box – keynote presentation that’s up to you

Depending on your event and audience, I’ll work with you to develop the keynote that will deliver you with the best outcomes.

Four of my most popular keynotes are below, but they’re always modified to suit the specific conference objectives and audience. The Brand Magic Workbook acts as a stunning keepsake for attendees, and can be organised as part of your package.

And of course, if you want something completely unique or developed in response to a specific branding project, I can do that, too.

Connecting with your brand – I make every keynote personal

Whether you choose a popular keynote or a custom-designed presentation, I’ll work closely with you from planning through to evaluation. This includes:

  • Pre-event planning via Skype, phone and/or email
  • Custom research around your specific objectives and conference deliverables
  • A customised presentation/keynote
  • Attendee resources, and
  • A post-keynote review to ensure we really hit the mark.

So if you’re looking for a keynote speaker who is the thought leader in branding and who really partners with you to ensure you achieve your objectives, I can help.

Creating a complete brand experience

Popular with: #corporate #smallbusiness #conferences #events
People reminisce. So let’s give them something to remember.
In this keynote, I’ll walk you through the essentials of developing a complete brand experience. Because a brand experience is so much more than an event – it’s your brand ‘s smell, sound, touch, sight and taste. It’s how clients experience your organisation.

  • Experience the power of a brand personality and learn why they are so potent

  • Improve your customer service so that both employees and clients feel like they just can’t get enough of you.
After all, it’s not all about what you say – it really comes down to how you make people feel.

Branding Keynote #4: Let’s do this

The power of CAN

Popular with: #corporate #smallbusiness #conferences #events

People doubt. So let’s change can’t to CAN.

When I was a young I broke my back. It would have been easy to let it define and limit me, but I don’t like taking the easy option. No matter what, I wouldn’t let it break me.

I’ll talk you through the lessons I learned and the practical tools I used to create the life I wanted.

  • Lesson 1: Peer pressure and pain
  • Lesson 2: The magic and morbidity of the mind
  • Lesson 3: Lessons and learning in pain
  • Lesson 4: The power of positive thinking (without the clichés).

All of us face our own personal demons, but the tools we can use to fight them aren’t exclusive. If you want inspiration and motivation, then let’s do this.

I thought I might even get you to deliver something similar at our next staff meeting – I’m sure our guys would find it very inspiring."
