With a unique background that spans schools, prisons, SMEs, global businesses and even a cruise ship (once!), Lee is as at home in a boardroom as he is in a school hall. His message is clear, jargon-free and grounded in solid research – delivered with humour, humility and heart.

In the corporate world, Lee helps teams Get Good® At Work. His keynote talks and interactive training sessions tackle two key problems:

  1. Staff motivation

  2. Poor presentations and pitches that cost organisations money

His sessions – both in person and online – are fresh, engaging and definitely not ‘death by PowerPoint’. He’s also a past President of the Professional Speaking Association in the UK and Ireland.

In education, Lee is widely regarded as one of the UK’s most experienced and engaging school speakers. He delivers motivational keynotes, workshops, staff INSET and parents’ events focused on motivation, mindset, resilience and GCSE study skills. His sessions are ideal for students who need a confidence boost, especially those on the borderline of achieving key grades.

Lee is also the author of several books, including GCSE Study Skills (published by Collins), and every student attending his sessions receives a free audio book download and follow-up resources for staff to build on the learning.

No fluff. No gimmicks. Just real, relatable inspiration that works – whether you’re a CEO, a teacher, or a Year 11 student trying to figure it all out.
