BIO

In a world driven by ideas and AI, authentic connections between leaders and others matter more than ever.

In his keynote, “Everything You Know About Public Speaking Is Wrong (Almost),” Ian Hawkins delivers a masterclass on what makes great speakers stand out. Known as “the UK’s most-trusted speaker coach” (Square Mile), Ian is a former speaker agent and international moderator. He shares insights on how to transform average speakers into those who create lasting change.

Ian has worked with world leaders, CEOs, top entertainers, and motivational speakers. After watching thousands of speakers worldwide, his key message is clear: improving as a speaker strengthens your leadership. His keynote provides practical tips and explores core principles to help anyone overcome nerves, engage audiences, and make a lasting impact.

What attendees will gain:

  • A lively, interactive, and high-energy experience.

  • A fresh perspective on public speaking.

  • Actionable tips and tricks to use and share.

  • Field-tested insights from top speakers.

  • Motivation to grow as both a speaker and a leader.

As Ian says:

“This is a deeply personal journey for a leader. You’ll face your insecurities—and learn how to move past them. Everything you want to achieve lies on the other side of fear, and my role is to guide you through it.”
