Inspiring Cultural Change in UK Business
Creating New Possibilities – a Room, a Speaker and a Challenging Topic
I measure the success of a talk by the number and, importantly, the quality of the questions.
The room matters even more today in our frantic, digitally influenced world. Being able to focus on a challenging topic and engage with the speaker with the questions that matter to the people in the room is a rare and valuable opportunity
As a speaker, my job is to stimulate new thinking, new conversations and innovative thoughts. Cultural change begins when the foundations and conditions change, and the source of those changes is new thinking.
Topics: Inspiring Cultural Change in UK Business
- Leadership: Based on the principles in my book, The Power of Clean Leadership, leading with competence and integrity.
- Culture: How to create the foundations and conditions for positive cultures to emerge and be sustained
- The Art of Communication: What we say and how we say it are matters of design and implementation. Learn how to structure communications to have the most significant impact.
- Change Management: How to identify the levers of change and the obstacles you need to overcome
These talks are available as short talks, facilitated conversations, or keynote talks, ranging from 20 to 90 minutes and are tailored to the audience for maximum impact.
Booking the Right Speaker for Your Room
There is a magic to a live event. In the room, stories are told, people imagine, they see themselves in the stories and wonder… What if?
If you are arranging an event and you want to have a speaker, ask yourself,
- “How do I want the people to feel at the end of the event?”
- “What impact do I want the event to have on the audience?”
- “What challenge, problem or opportunity do I want the speaker to influence, contribute to, or solve for the audience?”
As a speaker, my job is not just to be entertaining, engaging or amusing, and all of those help. My job is to create a space in the room for people to become curious, to think beyond the room, to imagine how things might look and to ask good questions. The sort of questions you want them to be asking, the sort of questions that create new possibilities that did not exist before.
If this is the impact you want to have at your event, then please complete this form, and we can then discuss how to deliver the outcome you want.
Adrian has been a keynote speaker at the Vacation Rental World Summit for several editions, and every single time his sessions left our audience truly inspired. He has a rare combination of clarity, charisma, and empathy that lets him connect deeply with people — whether he’s speaking to a room of hundreds or mentoring one-on-one. Few speakers manage to be both motivational and deeply actionable at the same time; Adrian is one of them.
Beyond the stage, Adrian has been a mentor and coach to me personally, providing hands-on support through the early years of launching VRWS. His guidance was fundamental — practical, strategic, and always delivered with genuine care. “
Adrian is a brilliant speaker. He takes complex ideas and makes them genuinely engaging, and his interactive style keeps audiences with him from start to finish. I’ve invited him to speak many times, and I always know it’s going to be great and my audience will love it.
Adrian’s speaker style is warm, generous, engaging and funny. His knowledge of business and hospitality in particular is encyclopaedic! We have engaged him
as both a speaker and workshop leader in a variety of situations and his contributions have always been exceptional and well-received.
I’ve seen Adrian present a few times, and he has always been engaging and effervescent. His keynote on the “power of management” was one of the highlights of the Likeminds Festival I had the pleasure to host.
