10 reasons to book
Roy for your next conference
1) Roy
is a specialist conference moderator. He does this for a living
– it isn’t something he just fits in around being on TV or
radio. Roy is happy that he is not a celebrity. He takes
responsibility for shining the spotlight on his clients. Its not
about him – although a lot of delighted clients have said “I
couldn’t help trying to imagine what this conference would have
been like without you – it wouldn’t have been anything like this
good. Thank you.” Client
testimonials
2) Roy
positions himself as the ‘conscience of the audience’. Audiences
and participants appreciate this role.
3) Roy
has an amazing skill to soak up vast amounts of complicated
information and make sense of it, often adding valuable insights
to his highly experienced clients. He will shock you at his
level of knowledge and understanding. In recent years he has
moderated complex discussions such as 6 HOURS(!) with a panel of
Professors of Orthopaedic surgery from research hospitals around
Europe. He must have done a great job – he facilitated these
Advisory boards for a number of years. He has worked with that
client (Zimmer) for nearly 10 years. For Novartis Neuroscience
he conducted an in-depth 90 minute panel discussion on the
efficacy of a particular drug to an audience of 170 senior
doctors from all around the world. He has moderated 3 day
conferences for global dispute resolution lawyers – the
‘rottweilers’ of their profession. He is asked back again and
again.
4) Roy
has extensive experience working in a wide range of industries
including; from consultancy, construction, banking, retailing,
government, healthcare to tobacco
and many more.
5) Roy
is brilliant at helping his client’s clarify their objectives
and question their assumptions. He makes his clients look good –
that’s almost certainly one of the reasons he gets re-booked so
often.
6) Many
global conferences are attended by non-native English speakers.
Roy is adept and sensitive to their needs. He has a knack of
being able to identify potentially confusing elements of
someone’s presentation and help re-phrase it to clarify the
intended meaning. Feedback from such delegates confirms that Roy
adds value in this way – he is also told that he speaks clearly
which improves comprehension.
7) Coaching
executives to improve their personal impact on the platform and
offering practical suggestions to improve their presentations.
8) Holding
the event together and ensuring that there are no embarrassing
silences is also something Roy is adept at handling. He always
has relevant and insightful questions up his sleeve for open
forum question and answer sessions.
9) Few
conferences would not benefit from improving the opportunities
for getting delegates to get to know each other better. Roy is
also an acknowledged expert on the subject of conference and
business networking. Many of his clients book him to moderate
their conferences and give his “Meet Greet & Prosper”
keynote presentation. For 2 reasons; it's relevant to the
audience and secondly – its FREE! Roy doesn’t charge extra for
it. He’s there anyway. So you get a moderator and a keynote
speaker for the same fee AND his fee includes 100 free copies
of his bestselling book of the same title. Additional copies
can be
provided at a wholesale price.
10) A high profile TV celebrity who presents conferences, charges £16,000 PER DAY! No one can afford to brief him fully about the organisation, But he gets lots of work. Clients are not always aware that less-expensive, yet more valuable solutions are available. Roy’s fees are MUCH lower than this. Most performers charge ‘per day’. Roy does not. After discussions with the client they agree an overall fee for the entire job. Then Roy does what ever needs to be done to make the event work. There is NO running ‘taxi meter’.
