My expertise in terms of keynotes and business presentations stems from a combination of three elements:
"Navigating Courageous Conversations!" (A Roadmap for dealing with Tough Topics and People) What’s the biggest pain point for most people in today’s workplace? With over 30 years in people development, I have consistently seen team leaders in multiple industries and professions struggle with the same issue: conducting courageous conversations. In this presentation based on my book “Navigating Courageous Conversations! A Roadmap for Addressing Tough Topics (and People!)”, I demystify the subject and give people clear and simple tools to equip their confidence and ability to handle challenging conversations.
More About Glen's Courageous Conversations Presentation"Stop Focusing on People Speaking Up!!" (The Next Chapter in the Health & Safety Journey) Is it time to stop beating the drum of telling people to ‘Speak Up’ when it comes to hazards, near misses, and incidents? In this presentation I address the ‘new drum’ of how much safer we will be working in the next evolutionary stage of H&S where we place increased emphasis on the person being ‘spoken up to’ who needs to be open to influence, based on my book “The Art of Persuasive Influence”. In this presentation I share my own dramatic journey of my father being involved in a work-related incident that changed our family forever, and the difference that it would have made if he had workmates that were prepared to speak out, and if he was the kind of guy that was open to their message.
More About Glen's Health & Safety Presentation"What's Wrong with You?!?” (Working with Behavioural Styles) Why do some people just rub you up the wrong way? Why are others such a joy to be around? Behavioural Styles is by far my most popular and entertaining workshop content that has been requested by businesses over the years in presentation form. During this presentation, based on my book “Little Red Racing Hood- A Tale of Four Behavioural Styles”, I have people moving around the room and laughing at each other and themselves in such a way that leaves people talking about their “Colours” long after the conference has concluded.

(Professional Presentation Skills for Non-Professionals) Do you wish your team delivered more engaging presentations that yielded better results both internally and externally? Are your sales, safety and productivity linked to your team’s ability to get a message across in a memorable fashion? Based on my book “Outstanding Presenters Speak for Themselves- a Certified Speaking Professional Reveals the 10 Essential Elements to Winning Presentations”, this presentation equips anyone who needs to speak to a group in order to shift their thinking or behaviour to achieve a desired outcome.
More About Glen's Presentation Skills Keynote"Living and Leading Above the Line!"- (Lifting the ‘Ownership Bar’ for Yourself and Others) What is the impact of your team when they don’t think and act with full responsibility? What would be the result in your key metrics if people took full ownership? Having been fired from every job I’d had until my mid-20’s, I know what it’s like to live ‘Below the Line’, and having experienced a dramatic shift to ‘Above the Line’ thinking, I know the positive impact both professionally and personally of such a change. This presentation, based on elements from my book “The Art of Persuasive Influence”, identifies why we live ‘Below the Line’, and what it takes to shift ourselves (and others) to more productive ‘Above the Line’ thinking and action.
