“ADI can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and expertise.  As you can tell, I really enjoyed your session and workshops.  I came away with such great information!  I can’t wait to get your book!” Chris Diefenthaler, Executive Director, Assistance Dogs International (ADI) organiser of ADI’s global conference 2021.

Organising an event and looking for new ideas, fresh perspectives and thought-provoking content?

Whether the event is for 12 or 1200, virtual or in-person, get in touch, and I will be happy to share some of the topics and formats that have worked for me with audiences in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. A selection of previous topics for keynotes and seminars are below – if you’re looking for something in particular, just ask.

See an example of Martyn in action at a hospitality industry conference for 900 pub managers and hoteliers.

Third-sector topics include:

• Bad strategy: the five critical signs of a bad strategy, how to spot them, and how to avoid them
• “Doing Good” is not enough: why operational excellence is so critical for profitable trading, yet can be so elusive for charities
• Ethical selling: how to do serious business development without selling your soul
• Trading the future: the three great ‘waves of change’ facing public sector services, and what charities serving those markets need to be doing now to prepare
• Building business income: the critical elements you need to build a profitable commercial trading division
• A smarter culture: how trading charities can develop a more diverse, commercial and professional culture

For-profit topics can be found here
