Speaking
Talks on human creativity and how expertise becomes visible.
I give keynotes and run workshops for founder communities, business conferences and teams. The subjects draw on my books and work with founders, examining how people develop their own ideas and make their expertise understandable to the potential clients they could help.
I also moderate panels and take part in university discussions on AI and entrepreneurship.

Topics
- 01
Human creativity in the age of AI
Drawn from Thinkbait, this talk examines what happens when we become used to asking AI to do the thinking and writing for us, and how we can keep developing our own ideas and judgement.
- 02
Founder authority and LinkedIn visibility
How an experienced founder can give potential clients a useful sense of their judgement through writing. We look at what that writing reveals about their approach and how it supports the decision to get in touch.
- 03
Finding ideal clients through clearer positioning
A practical session on explaining what you do in a way that helps a prospective client recognise when you could help them. We examine the expertise you want to be known for and how to make its relevance clear.
