Speaking

High-stakes keynote experiences

Move your audience with bespoke keynotes, content, masterclasses and experiences

Picture

You plan a high-stakes meeting

You are introducing a new strategy. Want your customers, teams or shareholders to embrace a new direction. Inspire. Transform.

This requires more than an 'off-the-shelf' keynote
Your meeting represents a significant investment: in money, attention and management time. Every second you engage with your audience matters.

Any keynote speaker you invite should bring more than autopilot slides and jokes. You want someone who amplifies your strategic message. Asks the right questions. Gets every nuance 'just right'.

In that case, perhaps we should talk
I only do 3-4 keynote interventions a year, and I want each to make a difference. I tailor every story to the audience I address, and their situation. Aim for an experience that resonates with who they are and want to be.  

So let's go on a journey of co-creation
We start with a conversation about your strategy, your situation and what you want to achieve. Then we jointly review content prototypes until everything is 'just right'. Aligning with the production team every step of the way.

Interested? Then scroll down for examples of possible formats and topic areas.
​Or better, get in touch for a virtual coffee ☕️.

Alain was very inspirational. People love him and his stories. (With his team he) helped us make our story an attractive one for our peers and leaders. His presentations at the leadership conference had a very big impact.

Alain provided a perfect keynote opening to our Design Forward event. The audience really appreciated it and his talk was referenced at multiple points during the event (and after!). Ahead of his talk, Alain took the time to understand the brief, our business challenges and was really happy to tailor WIP thoughts based on our feedback.

The presentation was extremely well prepared and spot on! Additionally to being a great speaker Alain is a very good moderator and has a very didactic approach.

Possible formats

In line with the importance of your meeting, interventions can range from a simple PowerPoint presentation to a fully immersive experience. To create them, I can work with your creative and production team or bring my own.

Here are some formats which worked well in the past.

Conversation starters

While we will tailor the story to your situation, ​I am most at ease on the topics customer-, employee-, shareholder experience, transformation and leadership.​ Or, if you want to get edgy, storytelling and the perception of reality 😉.

Past keynotes have covered:

  • treating customer experience management as a business discipline;
  • finding a balance between digital transformation and 'humanity';
  • differentiating a business through a clear brand promise:
  • engaging employees and shareholders through purpose;
  • future-proofing the business for the customer needs of 2025 and beyond;
  • showing leaders how they can build a customer-centric culture;
  • getting brand leaders to embrace advocacy & storytelling;
  • ​...

Whether any of these resonate, or something else is on your mind, I look forward to hearing from you.

Shall we discuss your needs?

I found that a conversation is usually the best way to know whether I can be of value.
So let's set up a (virtual) coffee to discuss your needs! ☕️
