He has two shows which have both enjoyed month long runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and then toured. His 2018 show is ‘After Dinner Stories From My Broadcasting Career’ which is just for fun.
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.
In 2015 Jeremy was awarded the highest award in UK speaking, the PSAE – Professional Speaking Award of Excellence – the fifteenth person in history to receive it.

“I was the best ‘worst salesperson’ ever. I hated asking for the sale. So, I avoided this dreaded task by making sure I knew what the prospect needed better than they did and I articulated the value so clearly they couldn’t resist.” – Julie Holmes

Over the last 20 years she has built a track record in the B2B technology industry where she’s been a quota-carrying sales rep, product manager and a Director of Marketing working at host of companies including Oracle, a tech start-up and niche leading, Gartner recognized BI company.
