Popular Talks by Dave Crane

If you're a CEO who needs to speak

Most people can’t get the correct WI-FI code to ENGAGE their audience which makes them appear PETRIFIED, ARROGANT, DISTANT, TALKING TOO FAST (or too softly), BORING, SELF-OBSESSED, UNFOCUSED or completely UNINTELLIGIBLE.
When you only get one chance to make a good impression, a wrong one could cost you everything.
Luckily, this doesn’t have to happen when you work with Dave.
Enjoy the benefits of being able to pitch your business to anyone, earning as a speaker, recognised as a thought leader, respected by your peers, inspiring employees and head-hunted by everyone from event organisers to agencies. Imagine being able to stand up without any notice, in front of strangers, tired, stressed, under extreme pressure to deliver a world-class informative, inspiring and game changing presentation WITHOUT a script that always motivates everyone who hears it to take action immediately.

If you're a decision-maker without a personal brand

Google yourself. If nothing shows up about you, then you’re experiencing the same negative effect that fresh talent, potential clients, JV brokers, media interviewers, overseas investors, employees AND head-hunters also feel. When you’re not on radars, nobody can align with your values, your triumphs, your thoughts or your vision.
Guess what? They flock to your most visible competitors instead.
This should worry even the best decision makers, luckily, you can fix it today.
The Industry Icon Program elevates and positions you to cast a halo effect over your products and services like pioneering thought leaders Tim Cook, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson or Elon Musk. When your name carries credibility, your stock rises, and your company easily punches above its own weight as the spotlight focuses on your expert leadership.
You become currency.
