Born in the North East of England and now based in Leeds, ‘Lee from Leeds’ is an award-winning motivational speaker, presentation expert and author of 14 books.
A creative communicator with over 27 years of experience, he’s spoken everywhere from schools and prisons to boardrooms, conferences and even a cruise ship once!
Lee isn’t a “celebrity” speaker, and he hasn’t set any world records, but he’s fine with that and audiences say he’s refreshingly real, engaging, and full of practical, research-based insights that make a lasting difference. His down-to-earth, multimedia style keeps people learning and inspired without the usual “death by PowerPoint”.
He’s a Fellow and Past President of the Professional Speaking Association, one of the most decorated speakers in the UK & Ireland, and a member of its Hall of Fame.
Off-stage, he enjoys good comedy, basketball, and spending time with his family in Yorkshire. A former award-winning hip-hop artist and DJ, he still brings creativity and rhythm to his work.
‘Get Good® At Life and Work’ is specifically designed as a keynote talk or session for conferences or internal staff days. It has been delivered dozens of times across all three sectors.
The content is flexible to the needs of the event but usually covers motivation, non-toxic resilience, productivity, and workplace communication.
All delivered as an engaging multimedia mix of common sense, ancient wisdom, and solid research—which is both encouraging and challenging for the audience.
No fluff, just practical, research-backed guidance to help people, teams, and organisations grow and become more effective.
