I live in the world of entertrainment – no, it’s not a spelling mistake.

Laugh While You Learn and Leave With Something Useful.

Let me ask you something.

When was the last time a conference speaker made you laugh, made you think, and gave you something genuinely useful to take back to work — all in the same session?

That’s the bar I set every time I walk onto a platform. And after more than 35 years of speaking to audiences across Australia, the USA, Dubai, and Asia, I’m still raising it.

A Speakertrainer is exactly what it sounds like — someone who entertains and trains. Someone who makes the content so engaging that the learning sneaks up on you before you even realise it’s happened. That’s not a trick. That’s a craft. And it’s what separates a Speakertrainer from someone who simply gets up and talks.

Why “Motivational Speaker” Doesn’t Cut It

“Motivational speaker” gets stuck on anyone who picks up a microphone at a conference. But motivation without information is just noise with good energy.

A genuine Speakertrainer gives audiences something of real value — practical tools they can actually use. They tell stories from their own experience, not borrowed ones. They frame ideas so vividly that people see themselves in the situation. They inspire action and equip people to take it.

That’s the standard. And that’s what I bring.

As a Speakertrainer, I draw on 35+ years at the coalface of meetings, communication, leadership, and organisational life. The stories are real. The strategies work. And yes — I can make meetings genuinely interesting. I know. I know.

The After-Lunch Graveyard Shift

You know the one. Two o’clock. Full stomachs. The energy in the room has completely flatlined. The next speaker is about to walk out to an audience fighting the urge to nap.

That’s exactly when you want a Speakertrainer.

I specialise in lifting a room — taking an audience from flat to engaged, from sceptical to energised, from passive to thinking. It’s craft built from decades of understanding what audiences need and how to deliver it.

The “Raising the Bar” Keynote Framework

My signature keynotes are built around a foundational formula I call Raising the Bar — and it applies across industries, professions, and conference themes.

The keynotes include Raising the Bar on your work and your life, Raising the Bar on your decisions, Raising the Bar on your meetings, and Raising the Bar on your specific challenges — where I build a presentation tailored specifically to your event, your audience, and your theme.

Every keynote delivers three things your audience can count on: something to laugh about, something to learn, and something genuinely challenging that sticks long after the conference ends.

Speakertrainers Do Their Homework

Here’s what separates a seasoned professional from someone who wings it.

I arrive early. I talk to people in the room before I speak to the room. A conversation over coffee before the opening session can reveal a story, a challenge, or a connection that becomes the most resonant moment of the whole presentation. When an audience hears their own world woven into the content, the relevance lands at a completely different level. That’s not magic — it’s preparation.

Professional Speakertrainers also stick to the brief and respect the clock. The organisers, the audience, the other speakers, and the event staff all deserve that. I’ve never run over time in 35 years on the platform. That’s not a boast — it’s a professional standard.

The Credentials Behind the Keynote

I’m an inductee into the Australian Speakers Hall of Fame and one of fewer than 40 people globally to hold the Global Speaking Fellow designation — the speaking profession’s highest international honour. I’m also a Certified Speaking Professional and Past World President of the Global Speakers Federation.

When you book a Speakertrainer for your conference, you want someone who will make your event memorable for all the right reasons.

That’s what I do.
