And his 2019 show ‘What Are You Talking About?’ is a serious keynote about communicating in business, but delivered with loads of laughs. It premiered at the Asia Professional Speakers Convention in Singapore in May this year, and he’ll deliver it at the Global Speakers Summit in Namibia in 2020.
He’s has two masterclasses which he delivers across the world:
Talking Toolbox is how to make your business presentations engaging and entertaining.
Talking Funny is how to get laughs when speaking in public. If they’re laughing they’re listening.
