## What to book him for
- Gala dinner: He keeps the run of show tight between courses, warms the room up before the speeches and hands over the stage clean, so the chairman gets the applause and dessert still arrives hot.
- Conference: Opens the day, links speakers without reading their bios off a card, and runs the Q&A so the mic never stays too long with the person who has a comment rather than a question.
- Awards night: Thirty categories and one timing sheet. He keeps the pace up, gets every name right, and somehow the tables that didn't win are still clapping at the end.
- Product launch: Builds the room up to the reveal, keeps it moving if the demo freezes, and makes sure the press walk out remembering the product name.
- Town hall: The all-hands people usually sit through with their cameras off. He runs it live with crowd work and quick games, and leadership gets roasted just enough to look human.
- Team building: Games and shared challenges built around what you want the team to fix, from how they talk to each other to getting the new joiners to finally speak to finance.
- Comedy night: A clean stand-up set for a company night, or a roast of your industry. Engineers and consultants have both had theirs. Both laughed, eventually.
- Workshop: Hands-on public speaking practice for your people. Nerves, structure, and how to stand in front of a room without gripping the lectern.
- Race day: Fan zones, grandstands and sports days. He has hosted F1 Race Day and kept a grandstand loud between sessions, which is harder than it sounds in August.
