Top 5 reasons NOT to book Nigel

1. You need your audience rested
If you need your delegates chilled and relaxed, then please don’t book Nigel. His energetic and interactive style, along with his background in entertainment, means your audience will be energized and engaged. In fact, Nigel is often booked as an opening speaker or for that difficult after lunch spot.

2. You need an ‘off the shelf’ speaker.
There are times, when you just need a speaker that ticks all the boxes and delivers a standard presentation. Nigel is not that speaker. It’s important to him to tailor his message so you get real value.

3. You like stress
Let’s face it, when running a conference or event the last thing you need is stress. Having grown up in events, Nigel knows the importance of being stress free and reliable.

4. Your delegates love death by Powerpoint
A slideshow should support a presentation and evoke thoughts and ideas, not be a distraction. So Nigel’s slides tend to be highly visual and only convey information that is vital.

5. You want to maintain the status quo
Creativity is not about hanging onto the status quo. To truly capitalize on creativity and get results, you need to get people thinking and behaving differently. Which means not just pushing the envelope, but breaking it.
