Great technology deserves a great story.
Too often, important ideas get lost in feature demonstrations, complicated slides and presentations that explain everything except why anyone should care.
I help you find the story worth telling, work out how best to tell it, and make sure it connects with the people who need to hear it.
The approach…
Strategic Narrative Discovery
Clarify goals, audience, positioning, and the perception shift you want to create.
Story Architecture & Talk Crafting
Build a compelling narrative arc with tension, resolution, and memorable takeaways – not a feature walkthrough.
Visual & Media Production
Modern, stage-ready decks plus supporting media, technical demo structure, and pacing that works in the room.
Delivery & Stage Coaching
Executive presence: voice, pacing, confidence under lights, audience interaction, and Q&A mastery.
Conference Targeting & Placement
Find the right events, craft strong abstracts and proposals – position talks to be accepted, attended, and amplified.
Optional Co-Presentation
If you wish, I can join you on stage as moderator/interviewer to elevate energy, reduce risk, and keep the narrative sharp.
Why me..?
I’ve spent more than 25 years working with technology, including 15 years at Microsoft, where I had the extraordinary job of helping people understand some of the most exciting new technologies in the world.
I’ve been on just about every side of the conference stage: speaker, organiser, interviewer, MC, manager and occasionally the person wondering where the presentation clicker has gone.
I understand the technology, I understand what it’s like to stand in front of an audience, and I know that a good story can make the difference between people listening and people remembering.
Engagement Models
Choose a one-off lift for an upcoming event, or build a repeatable engine for ongoing conference influence.
Talk Refinement
Fast uplift – narrative restructure, deck upgrade, and focused rehearsal coaching for an already-booked talk.
Strategic Positioning
Most popular – discovery workshop → talk creation → visuals → coaching → CFP/abstract support → event targeting.
Ongoing Partnership
Retainer – quarterly narrative shaping, multiple talks per year, speaker bench development, and placement strategy.
