Keynote Speaking
Do you want to engage, equip, and encourage your team or organisation to help maximise performance and impact?
Finding the right keynote speaker is key to setting the tone for your event. Getting it right will provide your attendees with purpose, direction, and inspiration to take meaningful action.
Your team are achieving results. But at what cost?
Sadly, many high performers run on empty. They push harder, ignore red flags, and convince themselves they'll rest when the next deadline is met or the project is complete.
Yes, your teams are delivering, but you might not be considering that burnout is just one decision or setback away, lurking beneath the surface.
But what if you could equip your people with a different approach? One where excellence and wellbeing aren't competing forces?
"Across the breadth of our Company and range of team members' roles, the response has been very encouraging. The message was certainly received well, and I am very pleased to receive and share such a positive reaction."
Josh Carter, Managing Director, E. G. Carter Ltd
Why choose to work with Nic for your audience?
Nic knows what it means to 'succeed' yourself into exhaustion.
As a youth pastor, he poured everything he had into building a vibrant, diverse team and community, only to be forced to rebuild from scratch due to burnout.
That painful yet valuable lesson taught him that excellence and achievement don't need to come at the expense of his mental health, wellbeing, or relationships.
Nic brings that same insight to those he serves, helping teams and organisations build cultures where people can perform at their best without sacrificing what matters most.
His approach combines:
- Lived leadership experience and hard-won wisdom
- Evidence-based strategies from his therapy and coaching practice
- Practical tools leaders can implement immediately
- The vulnerability to admit what he learned the hard way, so others don't have to
Having experienced firsthand the disappointment, loss, and shame that often accompany burnout, Nic now runs a thriving private practice working with leaders and high achievers.

What your audience can expect to get from Nic
When Nic speaks, your people won't just feel inspired; they'll leave equipped, encouraged, and challenged to take meaningful action that will help them lead themselves and others better.
Nic's keynote presentations cover topics such as self-leadership, mindset shifts for high achievers, resilient leadership, building teams that work, and leading through transition and pressure.
Each presentation offers an experience that is:
-
Interactive and engaging (not just talking at your audience)
-
Thought-provoking (challenging assumptions about success)
-
Story-driven (real experiences, real lessons)
-
Actionable (practical strategies people can use Monday morning)
Your audience will be invited to reflect on their leadership approach, wellbeing, and performance, and how each contributes to the impact they have on your team or organisation.
