About this event

We have another fantastic month planned for you at PSA Staffordshire this month, with a powerful session for speakers who want to strengthen both their stage impact and their commercial performance.

In this high-value event, David Abbott and Dave James bring together strategic business insight and the foundations of exceptional delivery.

David draws on decades of senior marketing and managing director experience across start-ups, multinationals and diverse sectors. He will share how to construct keynotes that align message, value and pricing — transforming a talk into a strategic business asset that drives measurable results and revenue.

Dave, a two-time TEDx speaker (including an Editor’s Pick), explores the deeper foundations of great speaking. Attendees will learn how the three core elements of powerful delivery work together, why connection is more sustainable than technique alone, and how to move audiences from inspiration to genuine transformation.

This session is designed specifically for professional speakers who are ready to elevate their keynote from engaging presentation to commercially effective platform.

A must-attend event for those serious about influence, impact and income.
