Felix Riley is a business strategist, author, and speaker specialising in Brilliant Thinking and How to Think Bigger in Business and Life.
Felix began his career as a comedy writer at the BBC and was part of the team on Zoe Ball’s Radio 1 Breakfast Show. He then transitioned to a successful career in the City, where he founded his own company before selling it to an NYSE-listed American brokerage. Felix subsequently served as a Managing Director and sat on their Global Executive Board.
His career has been anything but conventional. Felix mined copper in Zambia, played a pivotal role in turning around a struggling business in the UK, and became a published author, releasing several thrillers with Penguin.
For over a decade, Felix has been a sought-after business strategist, working with diverse organisations ranging from media agencies, e-commerce platforms, and health and social care providers, to startups, agricultural consultants, and creatives.
As a coach, mentor, and motivator, Felix has a strong focus on creative thinking. He believes that innovative thought is the key to accelerating growth and revitalising struggling businesses, making his insights invaluable for organisations aiming to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
Felix’s approach with clients is to take them from a ‘Good enough’ mindset to a ‘What’s the absolute best we can do here?’ mindset. This is done through three steps – agitation, imagination, and motivation:
In this talk, Felix explores why we default to a surprisingly defensive mindset too often and how not only to escape that but how to do your very best thinking to maximise your opportunities in business, the arts, and life.
In this talk, Felix draws on his experience of working with leaders across various fields to talk about the Caring Quotient – how great leaders care about their teams – and how caring leaders see greater growth and profitability.
A shocking amount of decisions are made through fear and Felix explains the evolutionary and psychological factors behind this and how we can not only conquer fear, but use it as our rocket fuel to transform our lives.
Felix challenges you to confront your dreams and explains what is holding you back, before laying out methods to change that mindset and to launch yourself into the business, career or life you know you deserve.
Introducing you to the incredible Felix, he has done some talks for our members about leadership and entrepreneurship. He is engaging, fun and the members have gone nuts for him.
This summer we organised a symposium of healthcare providers at our offices in Hertfordshire. The day before, our keynote speaker cancelled and – with virtually no time to prepare – Felix was asked to step in. Not only did Felix more than fulfil the brief, his talk about thinking more creatively to realise better strategies within our respective businesses – and within our professional community – was absolutely terrific. He was engaging, enlightening and (dare I say it) very funny. Many enjoyed the Q&A just as much as the keynote speech itself – and the event reflected very well on me. Felix has asked me for a testimonial and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
