Keynote Talks

My talks bring AI, social media and content to life in a way that is engaging, inspiring and deeply practical, so people leave energised and ready to act.

If you are looking for a speaker to entertain, educate, and inspire your audience then let me be of help.

I actually got into keynote speaking by accident and was one of the best ‘accidents’ I made. I had a friend who worked at a speaking bureau and I asked her for help as I was going to deliver a talk in assembly and I wanted to make sure it was right. She liked my message and said she had a client who needed someone to speak on their graduate programme about social media as not many people had that much experience on that subject then. I delivered the talk and the rest is history.

Since then I have spoken all over the world to thousands of people of all industries and all size companies.

Why me?

All my talks are bespoke but as a guide, 3 topics I have delivered several talks on are:

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Generative AI

AI is everywhere, but what does it actually mean for your organisation? In this talk, we explore the real benefits, the hidden risks to you and your company and the impact it has globally. You will learn where AI genuinely helps, where it can go wrong, and how to use it wisely so it supports your people rather than replacing them.

Celebrating Failure: Why MySpace failed and the lessons you can learn.

It’s hard to argue that MySpace was the first social media site to go mainstream. The rise of MySpace was quick however the fall was just as fast. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I was there to see both. As one of the people to help launch MySpace in the UK, I can identify a number of reasons why it fell when it had the world at its feet. In this talk, I focus on 3 and how your company can avoid these mistakes.

Putting the so what into social media or content marketing

Having thousands of friends on Facebook is great but so what? How many of them turn into real customers? This talk looks at the key areas of social media or content and how we can go from personal use to professional use.

All the training and keynote talks I deliver face to face or online.

Testimonials

What Clients Say About Their Transformation

Microsoft Graduates

ISV Partner Development Manager

Andrew was amazing!! We’ve never seen the Graduates so engaged for so long & that’s testament to his content and delivery! He incorporated laughter into the session which was great but landed some strong pieces of actionable advice and takeaways, especially when it comes to how we communicate impact internally and how we use LinkedIn to build a personal brand.

Holly Lombardo

Director, National Rural Touring Forum

Before Andrew’s session, many delegates were sceptical and unclear about where AI fit within rural touring. Andrew delivered a human, well researched keynote and workshop that met everyone where they were, making AI practical for beginners and genuinely useful for those already using it. Delegates left informed, inspired, and confident that technology can strengthen rather than replace the human connections at the heart of their work.
