Darren gave us two crucial skills – new ways of thinking about my business and how we operate. The second is how to share those ideas with others in a confident, engaging and influential way. Highly recommended.

Don’t be a Dick.

Don’t be a Dick. The secret to getting what you want is connecting with others. What prevents people from connecting is their view of the world and how it stops them seeing another point of view. In this funny, insightful and often truth-telling keynote, your delegates will see the way to connect with others is to accept themselves and others as they are. This is summed up with the mantra, ‘Don’t turn your back, Don’t cover your ears, Don’t close your heart.’ Put another way, it’s simply ‘Don’t be a dick’.

What you see is not what is there.

The way we see the world determines how successful we will be. In this engaging and mind-bending keynote, Darren shows your audience how their perception of the world affects the actions they take. When we can see what is truly there – not what we think is there – delegates are able to take greater actions to achieve goals more quickly. This keynote is full of psychology, ancient wisdom, humour and actionable steps to take control of life and business.

Stop Being Boring.

No client has ever been bored into buying, but presenters continue to hope they will be. In this engaging keynote, Darren draws on a life time of training senior leaders, pitch teams and sales people to show your delegates how a few small changes in their process can dramatically alter their success. Delegates will be entertained, educated and empowered to sell and influence more.
