About this event
It’s April, but there are no fools… just amazing speaking!
Welcome to the Brum Professional Speaking Association April event!
This month we have the usual range of great speakers coming to our region to share their knowledge and expertise.
We have showcases from:
Marina Ibrahim will be speaking about diversity, equity and inclusion and a little bit about tennis.
Derek Cheshire will be speaking on the art of innovation (and a cool word in “chamelonomics”)
And a keynote from John Burns (which we’ll give you details of very soon). John is flying in from Ireland because at PSA Brum we have our own airport. Not many regions can say that!
So if you are looking for the usual balance of:
Great speaking.
Food.
Networking.
Plus a chance to learn more about how speaking can help you and your business.
Then come and join us in April for our next event.
Keynote speakers
Once shy, nervous, and allergic to microphones, John Burns somehow decided that speaking was a sensible career move and then figured out how to make it work.
Today, John is a professional speaker, author, and thought leader on uncertainty, career resilience, and the business of speaking. He’s the author of Prepare to Get Fired! – because nothing says ‘comfort’ like planning for uncertainty.
Known for his high-energy, interactive style, John blends humour, hard truths, real-world experience, and even a bit of AI wizardry to help speakers turn passion into a profession – and actually get paid for it.
A proud member of the PSA UK & Ireland, John doesn’t just talk about speaking… he talks about what happens after the applause.
