Tone
I use a lot of stories in my speeches as I find this makes the information more accessible for people. These stories are unique to me as they come from the digital transformation work that I have done globally for clients as well as from my experience as co-founder of LawPath, growing a business from zero to 50+ employees.
I used to be a professional comedian and so my presentations are not only full of insights but are entertaining. My style is very upbeat and I use a lot of audio and video content to keep the audience engaged and energised.
The Future of Your Business is Digital or Doomed
Warren Buffett said that “digital transformation is a fundamental reality for all businesses today”. Digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers. It is how you modify or invent massively improved processes with a blend of people, processes and technology. According to John Chambers, legendary leader of CISCO “At least 40% of all business will die in the next 10 years if they don’t figure out how to change their entire companies to accommodate new technologies.”
