“Nick keeps everyone immersed and was able to demystify the art of pitching and convey complex ideas with effective simplicity. Highly recommended.”

Rosie Dennee, Head of Lloyds Lab, Lloyds of London

Nick’s speeches and talks help individuals and organisations shift their mindset and world view so they can build better client relationships to drive revenue and growth.

Commercial acumen is learned and a skill that can be improved quickly but doing it is counter intuitive and requires a totally different view of the world to the one we’re often taught

Nick learned this the hard way starting a business from scratch with no entrepreneurial background and had to shift my mindset completely, now Nick helps others shortcut that process

Nick’s goal for every speech is to inspire the audience to leave with renewed confidence and appetite to break through their current commercial comfort zone and push their organisation to new heights.

To achieve this each talk is tailored to the group Nick will be working with and to meeting the needs you have for your session or event.

Nick’s varied experience as a TV presenter, professional poker player and business owner means my talks are infused with compelling stories, humour and an understanding of human nature that connects profoundly with audiences

This all results in talks that result a lasting shift and impetus for lasting change in commercial success.
