Business & Motivatonal Event & Conference Speaking
You know how at conferences and seminars the audience’s attention wanders after a while and the message doesn’t get through? Well, for over 20 years John Hotowka has developed attention-grabbing techniques that engage the audience and ensure that the message gets through AND sticks.
John is an engaging keynote speaker. His presentation is used to signifcantly increase the impact and retention of your corporate message, as well as to motivate you and your people.
He’ll take your brief and construct a bespoke presentation that conveys his insight, or your message with pin point accuracy.
It is normally accepted that an audience will remember between 5% to 10% of a standard presentation. John’s clients have measured how effective his approach is and found his audiences remember between 35% and 65% of the information conveyed. WOW!!
You have a choice of two options:
1) Totally Bespoke
After taking your brief, John produces a script and performance that grips the audience and incorporates all the points that need to be made, emphasised and remembered.
2) In John’s Experience - ‘It’s not rocket-science… you just need the right tricks up your sleeve’
Since 1989 John has worked with numerous global brands as well as many smaller organisations. He’s also a student of self development and dealing with change which means he can draw on a wealth of experience to help your organisation go to the next level. It’s still important to take your brief so he can help you achieve the result you need and choose to have.
The analogy of the performance of magic is used to good effect to show how we can take our mind-set, businesses and relationships to the next level.

“Your performance in particular received very positive feedback and made a huge contribution towards ensuring that the day was a big success. A number of people I have spoken to recently also made particular reference too how much they enjoyed the way that you involved the audience and brought a sense of fun to the day. From a personal point of view, I really appreciated the time that you took in speaking to me prior to the event, to get an understanding of our organisation and ensure that you incorporated our key messages in your performance.”
Bob Taylor, Chief Executive, Knowsley Housing Trust
“I particularly valued the time and effort you put into really understanding what our company is all about, and what our key messages for the conference were. You then managed to weave these into a bespoke performance for us to bring these messages to life in a very visual and entertaining way.”
