Speaking

Whenever I undertake a speaking engagement, talk about speaking topics, or deliver a workshop, my goal is simple – to be the most practical person in the room.

The sessions I create and deliver are designed so each and every attendee leaves with at least one practical take-out they can take back their business and apply quickly to get a result. 

In 15 years of designing and delivering adviser programs, workshops and presentations, I’ve learnt that being a memorable speaker is about making sessions engaging, interactive and fresh experiences.

I’ve sat through enough “dry” presentations myself to realise the key to creating value lies in giving people clear direction on what they can do, providing practical actions they can adopt, and making the experience of working “on” your business enjoyable. 

So I made a decision some time ago that the value of any session delivered had to be able to be measured in the outcomes achieved off the back of it.

People also tell me I bring energy and give clarity. My speciality is blending innovation with core practice management expertise and encouraging advisers to explore the practical side of practice success supported by insight into digital thinking and the myriad of new business tools becoming available to SMEs each day. My “kitbag” includes a wide range of sessions all drawing the program curriculum I’ve created covering:

• Marketing and lead generation
• New client engagement and sales
• Automation
• Service offers Pricing & profitability
• Client experience
• Resourcing and team management
• Outsourcing & offshoring
• Systems, technology
• Personal and team productivity

I believe talk is cheap but insight gives value.
