How do you work with clients to prepare keynotes?
I always want to tailor my presentation to meet the needs of the client I work closely with the client to determine the brief. Not only do I wish to understand the aims and objectives of the event but also the key business priorities and any relevant issues. It is important to understand precisely the audience – their seniority, knowledge level and expectations. I also want to understand what terminology the client uses and their measures for success
What do you think makes you one of the most popular business speakers in Britain?
