Keynote Speaking

I passionately believe that being inspired and inspiring is the most effective way to draw the best out of ourselves and each other, and that motivational techniques won’t achieve that. Hundreds of leadership audiences who want to make their workplaces and businesses more inspiring have invited me to give talks to share these ideas, so far in seventeen countries.

Below are examples of two of my current Signature Talks:

Your Inspired Leadership

How to lead and inspire by being authentic, human and professional

This talk is for:

  • People in positions of leadership who feel a call to bring more of their naturalness and humanity to their leadership
  • Those who choose to offer leadership even when they don’t have a leadership title
  • People who want to draw the best out themselves and others
Your inspired leadership provides an inspiring vision that people naturally want to engage with and willingly contribute their best towards achieving. Its gives people something to be inspired about and to believe in.
It is less about playing roles and allowing more of yourself out and being in service of what matters most to you. As you are naturally inspired and aligned by what you are doing, you are able to naturally inspire and engage others.

During this talk, Nick will share the following with you:

  • Exploring what is it that matters most to you, and that you really believe in
  • How to be more naturally, authentically and skillfully yourself – authentic and professional
  • How to empower yourself by drawing out your natural potential and your humanity
  • How to empower your people by helping them draw out their natural potential
  • Operate from your unique essence – naturally being who you are and delivering your unique gifts
  • Develop the bravery to pioneer into new territories and go beyond your comfort zone
  • Share your gifts, share your heart and your qualities with people
