Is your organisation facing headwinds on its change journey?
I’ve been there – I can help.
My keynote speech equips leaders and their teams with the strategies and behaviours that will make their organisational change journey smoother, faster and more engaging for all.
I deliver a customised experience that blends gripping, emotive story-telling with current research and immediately applicable take-aways.
Meaningful business learning
Brendan delivers an engaging experience that translates directly into meaningful business learning.
Key take-away messages for your team
TRUST
Building and maintaining trust is key to successfully navigating change.
FEEDBACK
We all need to actively invite feedback – saying “my door is always open” is not enough.
LEARNING
Only use blame in the event of gross negligence or malice – everything else is a learning opportunity.
OWNERSHIP
Mature leaders create a culture of ownership and strive to change from a heroic to servant leadership approach
HONESTY
In uncertain times, the sound of success is honest conversation.
A compelling take on leadership in a changing world, told by a consummate story-teller.
Inspiration has a short shelf-life without application.
I believe that the leaders at the 50+ events I speak at each year should walk away with specific, concrete ideas they can immediately implement.
My keynote focuses on actionable practices that will improve leadership, create better team cultures and drive higher engagement.
Brendan was excellent. He is a great story-teller who was able to share his leadership experience and give us tools we could directly apply to our roles.
Great Value
We used Brendan for 12 events this year – each time a great performance with an applicable message

What to expect when you work with me
Absolute reliability
I am never late, forget to return a call or miss a deadline.
Trusted to deliver
For an event organiser, hiring a new speaker is a risk. If that speaker bombs in front of the audience, it reflects badly on them. I get it.
Customised for you
During a detailed briefing call, I seek to understand your organisation, its challenges and what your aims for the event are.
Brilliant feedback
His style, approach and engagement had everyone gripped. The feedback has been brilliant.
Calls to ACtion
Every talk is not just inspirational, but also immediately applicable. I believe that action creates change, not inspiration alone.
Value for money
Hiring a speaker isn’t cheap and I understand the need for an observable behavioural-RoI. Client feedback, three-months post-event tell me that they see a qualitative RoI in better leadership behaviours and heightened collaboration

How we work together
1. Enquiry
Get in touch. I will check my availability and send you a full proposal.
2. Confirmation
Made your decision? I’ll raise a digital speaker agreement letter which outlines our mutual commitments.
3. Preparation
We arrange a 90 minute briefing call, typically 2-3 weeks before the event.
4. Tailoring
After our briefing call, I will set about tailoring my presentation so that it’s just right for your event.
5. AV Setup
I will email you or your AV team a Google Drive link containing my PowerPoint presentation at least 1 week before the big day.
6. Social Media Buzz
I engage with your audience on social media, using appropriate # and @ tags. I create a welcome video for your delegates and post it 24 hours before my keynote.
7. On The Day
I will arrive as early as possible to get a feel for the event before my speaking slot. I strive to connect my content to key messages already delivered on the day.
8. Afterwards
My favourite part of the job is chatting to people and listening to their stories, so I endeavour to stay for as long as possible.
9. Follow-up & Feedback
I follow up my speech with a video – an extra nudge for the audience on how to implement an idea from my keynote into your organisational environment. I also seek honest feedback from all event organisers.
