As a keynote speaker, the most important thing is that I deliver every time. Almost everyone has bad days but a keynote speaker simply can’t. We get one hour or so to deliver and you have to know that we’re going to do that every time.
When I point this out, it sounds a bit pretentious but I do think that a keynote speaker is a bit like an athlete. An athlete with a pretty high BMI and cholesterol, admittedly. The main similarity is that 99% of our job is preparation so that we can execute perfectly when called upon to do so. From the moment we sit down to write the presentation, through rehearsal, to getting a good sleep the night before, everything should be focussed on the moment of presentation.
You can see examples of me speaking on my video page but here you can find feedback and testimonials from my past clients. I’ve divided them up by category including my delegate feedback, the learning and development that my sessions offer and my work as an after dinner speaker.
