Events, away days & facilitation
Keynotes & Conference Presentations
Bring fresh thinking, energy and audience involvement to your conference, away day or organisational event. PJA can provide an experienced keynote speaker or conference presenter, shaping the content around your theme and giving people ideas they can engage with, remember and take away.
When this is useful
An external speaker can help set the tone, bring a new perspective or give an important theme greater impact.
You need a keynote that will energise and involve your audience
A conference theme needs bringing to life with fresh ideas and a different perspective
You want people thinking differently about creativity, resilience or working with change
A conference session needs to be participative rather than another presentation to sit through
An online event needs a speaker who can engage people through the screen
Keynotes and inspirational workshops
Paul delivers keynotes and inspirational workshops at business conferences, both online and face-to-face.
Sessions can be shaped around the type and theme of your event and the contribution you want the presentation to make. Whether it is a keynote, plenary presentation or more interactive workshop, the aim is to give audiences useful ideas while including, involving and inspiring them.
