Geoff Burch

Geoff will fire any team from senior directors, a gathering of international business people, to mass gatherings of ground floor and front line staff with his enthusiasm for the subject, in a way only a true fanatical genius can.   You could fill a room with a cross-section of people from a part-time cleaner to the Chief Executive of an international company, and everybody would come away with new ideas. Geoff looks at every conceivable area of business, and is renowned for taking a sideways look at the latest business fads and fashions - translating the ones of value into a memorable message that everyone can understand.

Author & Broadcaster

Geoff’s day job as he calls it, is writing, broadcasting, consultancy and occasional training to very select groups.  He has written many books including 'Resistance Is Useless: The Art of Business Persuasion' and 'The Writing on the Wall: The Campaign for Commonsense Business'. 

Keynote Speaking

Maybe you would like that grand finale Keynote Speech, where Geoff has been known to blast on to the stage riding on a huge motorcycle, and regale your audience with wild, hilarious stories and characterisations that all have an unforgettably strong business message.  Or maybe you would like the thoughtful Geoff, that, while still hilarious, puts across the precise messages that concern your organisation.  Having seen Geoff, people often ask for a similar presentation for their own event, but it can be worth remembering his broad repertoire, which allows him to be invited back time after time with different messages and stories, although you and the audience will no doubt still want Geoff to repeat some of the favourites.  After all you would be disappointed if ‘Old Blue Eyes’ didn’t sing ‘Do it his way’, and you would feel the same if Geoff didn’t recount the saga of ‘The Shrub Boys’

After Dinner Speaker

Geoff Burch is a consummate After Dinner Speaker, where he has an opportunity to really turn up his funny wick, but those powerful messages are still there, and his talents are particularly suited to business audiences who want to thoroughly enjoy themselves, but at the end of the event, take something useful away.

Training & Consultancy

Geoff’s favourite saying which he pinched from John Cleese is “You don’t have to be sombre to be serious” and make no mistake, Geoff is very serious about his subject.  In fact he has the passion of a true fanatic about the rewards that can be brought about by a change in attitude.  Geoff always welcomes with genuine excitement, the opportunity to help change those attitudes in your team, by offering his services as a consultant and trainer.

Getting the Best

The important thing for Geoff is that he has the opportunity to get it right and do everything possible to make your event the great success that you want it to be.  He will require briefing materials in good time, so that he can customise his speech for the event.  Meticulous in preparing his presentation, Geoff will study 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 make any organisation believe in itself and to establish and maintain the motivation to succeed, is central to his presentation.  He will also liaise with the production people regarding the sound and lighting and especially when using the bike, which does require a little extra planning and staging.  

Clients

His slightly unconventional image and extensive use of humour should not hide the fact that he has a powerful business message, which can benefit absolutely any client-focused organisation. His credentials are impressive having worked with the likes of BT, Barclays, Lloyds, the CBI, Consumers' Association, Prudential, Phillips, ABTA and numerous other companies to present, motivate and train.

Travelling both internationally and throughout the UK, Geoff Burch is in great demand and is loved by major blue chip companies for his outrageous, hilarious, thought provoking and most certainly unforgettable presentations.
