With decades of experience working in the conference industry, Roy is regularly called upon to advise clients on ways to improve the effectiveness of their forthcoming events. By helping clients clarify their communication objectives, he provides invaluable help in ensuring that the conference 'works'. Clients regularly describe his involvement as 'invaluable'.


Conference Consulting

For a recent global conference for a major corporation, Roy advised the most senior executives and the conference team on the most appropriate ways to convey sensitive and unpalatable messages for the staff, whilst ensuring widespread 'buy-in' to fundamental changes that were to be implemented across a particular division.


Presentation Skills Consulting

A conference production company that had worked with a particular client for many years recognized that the speakers for a forthcoming conference were not as skilled as they needed to be. Roy was drafted in to give a presentation on how to give a presentation to the entire marketing team, to help them re-structure their presentations in order to engage with their audience, and convey 'dry' information in a more lively and interesting way. Each of the speakers then spent an hour 'one-on-one' going through their presentations and making specific improvements. It was reported that their performances on the day were 'radically improved' as a result of Roy's coaching.


Business Coaching

It can be lonely at the top of an organization, Roy is often consulted as a well-informed outsider to be a 'sounding board'. Although not someone who markets 'coaching' as one of his core services, Roy has built up such a level of trust with senior executives around the world, they often call or email 'to pick his brains'.
