Geoff Burch

Funny and persuasive, Geoff Burch is an extraordinary speaker with a refreshing outlook on all manner of business topics.

Geoff can deliver entertaining and challenging presentations on many subjects, for example, ‘FAST’ Companies; Customer Relationships; Change; People Motivation; Sales; Working Together; Empowerment; How Everyone can Deliver the Vision; and Entrepreneurial Organisations.

All these are presented in a hilarious, thought-provoking, and memorable way and even the dullest of business subjects is turned into an exciting rollercoaster ride that leaves the audience thrilled and convinced. His unconventional image and extensive use of humour should not hide the fact that he has powerful business messages to impart which can benefit any client-focused organisation.

As every event organizer knows, audiences will not listen to a boring speaker. No matter how important the topic, 86% of the audience will have switched off within three minutes of the start of a presentation by a non-stimulating speaker. However, Geoff works hard to absorb your key business messages and turn them into hilarious but very memorable stories.

Research shows that over 90% of the audience retain more than 83% of the messages that Geoff puts forward on your behalf.

The son of a Viennese psychiatrist, Geoff attended Art College in the swinging sixties and then entered the dynamic world of advertising.

Geoff has had a tremendous impact as a speaker and he is renown for re-focusing and re-energising people in his sessions. Geoff looks at every conceivable area of business, and with his entertaining and compelling style, takes a sideways look at the latest business fads and fashions, translating the ones of value into a memorable message that everyone can understand. Geoff is meticulous in preparing his presentation, studying the profile of the audience, the market in which they work, the competition they face, and how to exploit the advantages they have. He then combines this specific information with his generic approach to any situation.

His power to inspire self-belief and to establish and maintain the motivation to succeed is central to his presentation. He is the author of three highly successful books, Resistance is Useless, the Art of Business Persuasion, Go It Alone, the Streetwise Secrets of Self-Employment, and Writing on the Wall.

Geoff has a wealth of experience in illustrating the thinking required to find business success and he is equally at ease delivering presentations at conferences and as a highly amusing After Dinner speaker.
