Speakers Corner: How did the corporate speaking all start?
Dan Germain: People seemed interested in the story of how we started our business, and how we created a brand from nothing. So we started telling people.
Speakers Corner: Can you remember your first speaking engagement?
Dan Germain: I think it was to some people at Shell, after we had won a prize for being smart entrepreneurs. About 70 people. I was about as nervous as is possible.
Speakers Corner: And your last event?
Dan Germain: I spoke at an annual sales/marketing get together for O2 in a fancy hotel in a forest. Not as nervous these days.
Speakers Corner: Which event has been your favourite and why?
Dan Germain: A trip to Madrid to talk to O2 was good. A few events in Paris talking to about 2000 sixth form students at the Palais des Congres – that’s always a good one. And speaking at Little Big Voice, organised by a company called howies in some tents in west Wales. That was the one where I think I had most fun, just saying what I really think of business and how it can be a force for good.
Speakers Corner: If you could speak at any event, past or future, what would it be?
Dan Germain: My funeral. Would be good to cheer everyone up a bit.
Speakers Corner: Who would you most like to share a platform with?
Dan Germain: Bill Clinton. I sense that he has some sort of weird, unavoidable charisma. Would be good to see/feel it in the flesh.
Speakers Corner: On average, how many times a year do you speak at corporate events
Dan Germain: Probably 6 or 7.
Speakers Corner: Do you use powerpoint?
Dan Germain: Yes, but I use pictures instead of words.
Speakers Corner: How do you like to be introduced?
Dan Germain: Dan, creative director at innocent
Speakers Corner: Do you always like to do a briefing call before the event?
Dan Germain: It helps. Not always necessary but usually helpful
Speakers Corner: What are the most asked for topics?
Dan Germain: Creating a strong culture within an organization; building a brand from nothing; looking after customers in a unique, exemplary way; how you don’t have to spend loads to get noticed; creating a tone of voice for a brand.
Speakers Corner: Is your speech at all interactive with audience participation?
Dan Germain: In places. Sometimes it can be very interactive – depends what people want and how many people there are.
Speakers Corner: Do you have any funny/embarrassing speaking anecdotes you care to share?
Dan Germain: Not really. I do everything in my power to avoid having any of those. I get there early, do my homework and behave myself.
Speakers Corner: Your favourite film?
Dan Germain: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Speakers Corner: Favourite book?
Dan Germain: East of Eden
Speakers Corner: Favourite holiday destination?
