Liverpool-raised, leading people since he was seventeen, and more than thirty years of turning businesses around across three continents. Now he brings that to the stage.
Ian goes first with his own story, hard parts included, and that gives people permission to be honest too. Polite rooms end up laughing, reflecting and saying things they didn’t expect to.
Thirty years in operational leadership means Ian speaks the language of performance as fluently as the language of people. Audiences feel something; leaders get something they can defend in a boardroom.
Most keynotes are forgotten by Monday. Ian leaves people with a framework and one clear action, so the conversation carries on long after he’s left the stage.
No two sessions are the same. Ian tailors every keynote to your audience and context, then reads the room live and adapts.
A selection, to give you a feel for what Ian brings. Every session is interactive, built on the Five Pillars and tailored to your audience, and more themes are available.
SignatureResilience, inside out
Resilience isn’t the ability to endure more pressure. It’s understanding ourselves, managing our capacity, recovering intentionally and owning how we respond. Audiences score themselves live against the Five Pillars of Fulfilment.
KeynoteOwn it. Protect it. Elevate it.
Who, or what, is stealing your energy? Starting with Energy Vampires and Energy Boosters, this lively session shows how energy is gained, drained and transferred, and how individual energy becomes collective culture.
KeynoteInspired by kintsugi
Our cracks can become a source of strength. Contrasting kintsugi with karōshi, this session examines the role leaders play in creating environments where people feel seen, heard and safe to speak honestly.

About the Five Pillars ›His energy is absolutely contagious.
I have never met a person with Ian’s level of positive energy and the gift to engage others.
Ian has the knack to inspire every individual to become better than yesterday. Not just professionally but also in life!
Ian is an incredibly experienced, genuine and skilled leader and facilitator who cares deeply about enabling individuals and teams to be their best… Big thank you to Ian for the great work he is doing and impact it had on our team.
This wasn’t another wellbeing workshop. It was a genuine shift in how our leadership team thinks about culture, people, and performance.

More than a keynote with exercises. Your team works through something together, has the conversations it has been avoiding, and leaves with next steps it built itself.
The session opens with the Fulfilment Score, a structured self-assessment across all Five Pillars that gives the team a shared, honest starting point. People stop performing for each other and start being real.
Facilitated group work that turns personal insight into a team conversation. Where are the patterns? What is the culture actually asking of people? What is being left unsaid?
The session closes with clarity: individual commitments, team agreements, and a shared language for the conversations that need to continue after the room empties.
Every workshop starts with a scoping conversation: your team, your culture, the dynamics in the room and what you want to walk away with. What gets delivered is built around that brief, not pulled from a template.
