KEYNOTE/WORKSHOP TOPICS

The Leaders’ Voice – How Your Communication can be the Difference

Communication between leaders and their people is at the heart of everything but most leaders fail
to create the organisational focus, commitment and energy to move the entire organisation. Beyond
techniques, templates and imitation lie the principles of the Leader’s Voice and when applied they
will make you far more powerful and far more influential as a leader. Learn the principles of
communication from a World Champion of Public Speaking and be the difference in your
organisation.

Effective Business Presentations for the Real World

Is there anything more common in the business world than a confident speaker with a mindnumbing
presentation? Effective business presentations are a product of solid content and good
structure rather than a confident and articulate presenter but our focus is always (mistakenly) on the
latter. Learn from a World Champion of Public Speaking as we break down the myths surrounding
business presentations and show you how anyone can create a compelling and memorable talk in
any setting to any audience.

Marketing Your Story – How to Build Word of Mouth that Works

Is there anything more valuable or potentially more damaging to a business than word-of-mouth?
Good or bad, it is one of the most credible forms of advertising because the people telling the stories
don’t gain anything personally from it. Everyone wants satisfied customers telling other people how
much they like their business, product, service, or event but most customers don’t do it because word
of mouth is not a product of how satisfied a customer is… it’s a product of how INTERESTING
you are! Learn how to build word of mouth by creating compelling, memorable stories that people
can’t help but share.

Marketing Your Story – How to Cultivate Referrals that Work

Referral marketing and viral marketing are incredibly powerful strategies to generate new business
but most referral systems amount to nothing more than sophisticated begging. The most valuable
referral is not someone else giving out your name and number – it is someone else telling your story!
We are all predisposed to sharing interesting experiences. Learn how to cultivate referrals by
creating compelling, memorable experiences that people can’t help but share.

In The Minds of Champions – The Key to World Class Performance

Learn from the experience of hundreds of World Champions, World Record Holders and ordinary
people who have done extraordinary things as we delve into the top two inches of the world’s best
performers and reveal the 4 key components that drive their success while examining the links to
performance, leadership and management.

There is more to being a champion than simply engaging in similar behaviour. It is the thinking that
goes on behind the technique – the top two inches – that makes the difference. Delivered by a
World Champion this is a warm, funny and uplifting presentation that will surprise and inspire.
