Speaking

A room should leave with a better question.

Talks and facilitated sessions on community, systems, building and human potential.

500+ Night School sessions since 2018 are the practice behind this.

Why it exists

Organisers need to know what I am actually good at before they book a slot.

This page is that, without the speaker-reel language.

I am more useful facilitating a hard conversation than delivering a keynote.

The format should follow the question, not the venue's schedule.

Practice and proof:

Twenty people with a problem beats two hundred with a phone out.

If the room cannot ask questions, I am probably the wrong speaker.

Tell me the audience, the question and what you want them doing the next morning.

I will say no if the format cannot deliver that.

Context:

Fact: Night School is free, weekly and open to all, and has run since 2018.

Interpretation: Facilitation transfers more than inspiration does.

Experiment: Designing talks around one next action per attendee.

Ambition: Sessions people still reference a year later.

Last reviewed: September 2026.

Send the room, the audience and the question.
