NIGEL RISNER

The only motivational speaker in Europe to have been awarded Speaker of the Year from both The Academy for Chief Executives and Vistage (formerly known as The Executive Committee), Nigel is a respected author, television presenter and a prolific speaker. He speaks with authority: his own life having veered perilously away from comfortable norms at times. He has learned - the hard way - that positive results can come from negative experiences, and that we often learn best from situations which are unfamiliar and even uncomfortable.

As one of the youngest CEO's of a financial services company in the City of London, Nigel knows business as well as he knows life and more importantly he knows what it takes to lead a successful business! Unlike other motivational speakers or consultants, he has the ability to translate - with electrifying effect - that hands on experience into a coherent, compelling and exciting philosophy, which has made him one of Europe's leading key note speakers and a powerful professional one-to-one coach to some of the world's leading business executives.

Today he conducts more than 150 motivational seminars and corporate speaking engagements a year for an enormous variety of companies and organisations in Britain and overseas. When he isn't travelling Nigel lives with his wife and two children in Hertfordshire.

Nigel is an accomplished author with many successful self-help books, CD collections and instructional guides to his credit. His books "You had me at Hello" - the new rules for better networking - and "It's a zoo around here" - the new rules for better communication - have sold in their thousands and are literally transforming lives all around the world. His latest book The IMPACT Code is setting a new standard for self-help guides…this one actually works!

He continues to appear on prime time chat shows, such as Richard & Judy and makes many radio appearances all around the world.

Nigel's presentations are for people and companies who are looking for new information about their every day situations, interactions, opportunities, problems and challenges. In short - anyone attending a seminar, workshop or keynote will be looking for ANSWERS.

Speaking and training more than 150 times a year, Nigel Risner provides answers, informs, challenges and entertains at conferences, dinners and events for companies like GSK, HSBC, Exel, Red Bull, RBS, Nat West and Pfizer.

The attendee at Nigel Risner's keynote presentations learns to change listening and learning habits from the traditional "I know that" to the 21st century strategy, "How good am I at that?" Each participant walks away with new understanding and an individualised game plan for action (and success).

"Powerful Business Messages!"
Nigel delivers information "with a lot of snap" - so people can grasp it then, remember it now, and use it at once. He has a knack for entertaining up a storm while carefully laying down a simple, powerful, business-building message… a message that people remember for a long, long time.

His basic point is one of empowerment: Think bigger, he urges, figure out 'what needs to be done' beyond the confines of your job description and do it!

"I am a Store Manager for Sainsburys and I wanted to take the opportunity to say "Thank you" for your session at the NEC.  I found you so inspirational that you have left a mark on me. It was great to see and hear your presentation.  This email may be brief but it is sent with sincere thanks!"
Tim Hassall, Sainsbury

"Many thanks Nigel for your superb "irritation" presentation on Friday -- it was brilliant and just what we wanted for the afternoon, it really gave a lot of our colleagues food for thought and for action."
