Talks that leave your audience

with more than notes.

A high-energy 30-minute talk, then 30 minutes of live Q&A — so your people don't just hear the ideas, they interrogate them and leave knowing exactly what to do next.

The format

Why 30 + 30 works

30 min: the talk

Tight, story-driven and practical — no filler, no death-by-slides. Just the ideas that matter and how to use them.

30 min: the Q&A

Where the real value lands — your audience pressure-tests the ideas against their own reality, live.

Tailored to the room

Every talk is shaped to your audience and industry beforehand — not a canned keynote on repeat.

FAQ

Booking questions

Can the talk be tailored to our theme or industry?

Always. Steve shapes the talk to your audience and event theme before the day.

In-person or virtual?

Both. The virtual version is built for engagement, not a talking head on a screen.

Can you flex the format?

The 30+30 is the default, but we can adjust the split or run a longer workshop-style session.

What does it cost?

It depends on format, location and audience — tell us the details and we'll come back with a quote.

Got a stage that needs filling?

Tell us the event, the audience and the date — we'll check Steve's availability.
