Does Timothy travel? Yes and often. Though based in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, he travels extensively throughout Australia & New Zealand, SE Asia and further a field.
How long are the presentations? How long do you have available? We are flexible with time frames and develop all programs in consultation with you.
The Creative Thinking Keynote can range from 30 to 90 minutes. One hour is the most popular choice. With smaller groups and for those with longer time available, the Interactive workshop is more suited. This can be 90 minutes, Half Day or Full Day.
If you are booking Timothy purely for an entertaining program, say as an after dinner spot, then 30 - 40 minutes works well.
Can we book him through a Speakers Bureau? Of course. Timothy is listed with all the major Bureaus in Australasia or you can book him direct. The cost will be the same either way. Follow this link for a listing of Speaker Bureaus that book him on a regular basis.
How far ahead is he booked? Typically he is booked 6 - 9 months in advance, or at least expressions of interest have been placed within that time frame. He is however also available at short notice, when you suddenly decide an event needs a bit of spicing up with something dynamic.
We are able to place dates "on hold" for you if we are kept informed of the decision making process. A deposit is required to lock in all engagements.
Does he have testimonials we can read? Have you downloaded the Presentations information? You will find many references there from a wide range of industries. We can also put you in touch with many happy clients. 75% of our work is generated from direct referrals from past clients or repeat business.
How do we know he will be right for our group? How does he know you will be right for him? Timothy does not accept engagements where the "fit" is not right. If he believes he will not be the most suitable speaker for your event he will not accept the engagement. The last thing he wants is to work with the wrong group. In this situation he will certainly suggest other colleagues to you or Bureaus who will be able to help you.
Is he entertaining or is it all content? Both! It's strong content delivered in a highly entertaining manner. However this is one of the things we will pinpoint at the briefing. Some clients book Timothy just because he is entertaining, some want to be motivated and some want cutting edge content. Let's talk about what is the right mix for you and your audience and then plan the perfect presentation.
There are plenty of books available on Business Creativity. Why should we use an outside expert? Sure, there are plenty of resources out there; books, internet sites, manuals and tools. Timothy keeps up with current thinking in the field and is able to summarise and pass this knowledge on to you. But more importantly he acts as a catalyst. It's one thing knowing about the tools available, the key is in actually experiencing the process and being motivated to use the tools on an ongoing basis.
Does he supply Resource Materials? We currently provide a Bonus Bundle of 3 ebooks valued at over $50 to every participant in Keynotes and Workshops. This value is often well over the investment in the program! We normally provide a Resource Handout for Keynotes and a Printed workbook for Workshop sessions. Participants can also subscribe to a free Online Post Presentation learning monthly newsletter.
What's his style? Words often used include - Quirky, hilarious, intriguing, fun, sophisticated, motivating.
Is he easy to get along with? Yes, but ask his wife for a second opinion. Seriously, Timothy is very adaptable and accommodating. His requirements are few and once a job is locked in, he will work with you to create a successful outcome.
He also does Master of Ceremony work. What's the story there? With his interests, background and talent he is often asked to MC and Facilitate Conferences. These two areas of his work complement each other nicely as he gets to work in a wide range of industries and is always on the lookout to spot immerging corporate creativity and innovation trends in them all. He is also probably the most Creative and Innovative MC you will ever see. Have you requested a DVD yet to see samples of his work?
We just want entertainment! What will he do?
