Socials
What I talk about
Nine themes, always shaped around your audience rather than delivered off the shelf.
Strategic Influence
The science of moving people: trust, authority and making ideas easy to say yes to.
Confidence
Confidence isn't a feeling, it's learning to act while uncertainty is still present.
Communication & Presentations
How to be understood, cared about and remembered.
Storytelling
Stories change what people notice, feel, remember and do next.
Leadership
Influence at scale: creating belief, clarity and momentum in other people.
Sales
The best salespeople rarely feel like salespeople. Modern selling is understanding influence.
Practical Optimism
Believing that what you do next can still make a difference.
Motivation & Action
Why motivation disappears, and what actually gets humans moving.
The Future of Work & AI
AI is making intelligence cheaper. This is about what becomes more valuable: the human bit.
