Find a speaker on better communication at work. Using storytelling instead of data to be more relatable, memorable and land your business message.

This keynote is about one simple thing: helping your business message land.

At work, there’s rarely a shortage of information. There is a shortage of impact. Messages are explained, presented and carefully worded, yet somehow they don’t quite stick. People nod along, then move on. Priorities blur. Decisions slow. Behaviour stays the same.

Organisations that challenge these issues head-on are more successful, their messages travel and people understand what’s expected of them. Action follows words.

Packed with easy-to-follow take-home advice, this talk reframes business storytelling so it feels practical, not performative.

This isn’t about big speeches or polished set pieces. It’s about the everyday moments where communication really counts. Meetings. Updates. Conversations. The unscripted points where people decide whether to lean in, push back or stay quiet.

I explore how short, human examples help information land, why understanding what matters to the person in front of you changes how your message is heard, and why memory, not clarity, is often the real communication issue at work.

You’ll find practical frameworks your people can use straight away to land messages with more impact. Tools that bring structure to thinking, reduce waffle and help communication feel confident rather than over-rehearsed. Less hoping people remember. More intention about how messages are shared, repeated and embedded.

At its heart, this talk will give your audience permission.

* Permission to sound human, not robotic.
* Permission to use judgement, not just data.
* Permission to communicate in a way that feels natural while still being clear, credible and professional.

Because when communication works at this level, messages don’t just get heard. They get remembered, understood and acted on.

Penny HaslamAbout Penny Haslam

At the start of my motivation talk, Make Yourself a Little Bit Famous I ask people to raise their hands as I ask, who wants to be famous? By famous, I mean properly Kim Kardashian famous.

There are usually one or two people putting their hands up. On the flip side, I then ask who wants to be a best-kept secret. A few hands also, but still not a popular option. You see most people, quite sensibly, don’t want to be either!

So where should people be on that scale of nobody to star? I explain there is a wonderful middle ground which I call, Make Yourself a Little Bit Famous.

Making yourself a little bit famous is really a way of raising your profile, and getting known for what you do, so people think of you first rather than your competition. By competition, I’m talking about how you can stand out from the crowd in your career or business.
