Nigel Risner is an author, television presenter and prolific speaker.

Nigel is the only motivational speaker in Europe to have been awarded Speaker of the Year from both The Academy of Chief Executives and The Executive Committee. Nigel is a respected author, television presenter and a prolific speaker. He speaks with authority, his own life having veered perilously away from comfortable norms at times. He has learned that positive results can come from negative experiences, and that we often learn best from situations, which are unfamiliar and even uncomfortable.

As one of the youngest CEOs of a financial services company in the City of London, Nigel knows business as well as he knows life. More importantly, he knows what it takes to lead a successful business. Unlike other speakers or consultants, Nigel has the ability to translate, with electrifying effect, a coherent, compelling and exciting philosophy. It is this talent, which has made him one of Europe's leading speakers and a powerful professional coach to some of the world's leading business executives.

Today Nigel conducts more than 150 seminars and speeches a year for an enormous variety of companies and organisations in Britain and overseas.

Nigel is an accomplished author with many successful books, CD collections and instructional guides to his credit. His books You had me at Hello (the new rules for better networking) and It's a zoo around here (the new rules for better communication) have sold in their thousands and are literally transforming lives all around the world.

Nigel's presentations are for people and companies who are looking for new information about every day situations, interactions, opportunities, problems and challenges. In short, anyone attending a seminar, workshop or keynote will be looking for answers. Speaking and training more than 150 times a year, Nigel Risner provides answers, informs, challenges and entertains at conferences, dinners and events for companies like GSK, HSBC, Exel, Red Bull, RBS, Nat West and Pfizer.

Nigel's key topics of discussion are: Personal development; the new rules for communication; leadership; creating customer excellence; mastering communication; how to network effectively; change; CEO training; employee motivation; sales; and how to effectively market yourself as a speaker. His basic point is one of empowerment: Think bigger, he urges, figure out 'what needs to be done' beyond the confines of your job description and do it!

At his one to three day workshops you are given a blueprint for self-mastery. You learn there are no limitations to what you can accomplish. Only those you impose on yourself.
