Geoff Burch has been hailed as 'The Alternative Business Guru', and due to his love for riding huge motorbikes, the Financial Times referred to him as the Hell's Angel of management consultancy! His credentials are impressive having worked extensively with the world's leading blue chip companies.
A phenomenon who has delighted audiences throughout the world, Geoff is an extraordinary speaker, whose unique and refreshing outlook on all manner of business topics has made him the busiest of speakers available. He is the author of the three hugely popular cult business books published worldwide, 'Resistance is Useless the Art of Business Persuasion'; 'Go It Alone, the Streetwise Secrets of Self-Employment'; and 'Writing on the Wall'.

His unconventional image and extensive use of humour should not hide the fact that he has a powerful business message, which can benefit any client-focused organisation. Recent research has proved that audiences will not listen to a boring speaker. However important the message and the topic, 86% of the audience will have switched off within three minutes of the start of a presentation by a non-stimulating speaker. Geoff absorbs your key business messages, and turns them into hilarious but very memorable stories. The same research shows that over 90% of the audience retain more than 83% of the messages that Geoff puts forward on your behalf.

The son of a Viennese psychiatrist, Geoff has a wealth of experience in illustrating the thinking required to find business success. He is equally at ease delivering presentations at conferences, and as a highly amusing After Dinner speaker. Every company benefits from his entertaining style and compelling message. His style is relaxed and fun, his observations are unique, and his impact on an audience is amazing. Everybody from a part time cleaner to the Chief Executive will come away with new ideas. Geoff looks at every conceivable area of business, and is renowned for taking a sideways look at the latest business fads and fashions - translating the ones of value into a memorable message that everyone can understand.

Geoff is meticulous in preparing his presentation, studying the profile of the audience, the market in which they work, the competition they face, and how to exploit the advantages they have. He then combines this specific information with his generic approach to any situation. His power to make any organisation believe in itself and to establish and maintain the motivation to succeed, is central to his presentation.

Geoff can speak amusingly on almost any business topic, and can deliver challenging presentations on many subjects, for example, 'FAST' Companies; Customer Relationships; Change; People Motivation; Sales; Working Together; Empowerment; How Everyone can Deliver the Vision; and Entrepreneurial Organisations. All these are presented in a hilarious, thought-provoking, and memorable way where even apparently the dullest business subject is turned into an exciting rollercoaster ride that leaves the audience thrilled and convinced. As possibly the most original business 'guru' in the UK, Geoff will provide, as his impressive client base will testify, a very high level of excitement and delight.
