Speaker

Robert AshtonI am a respected national commentator on social entrepreneurship. In particular, how individuals, organisations, communities and local Government are responding to the Localism challenge. I speak with authority and from experience. I speak with passion and use storytelling to inspire, encourage and motivate audiences to think and act differently.

When hired to deliver a conference keynote speech I will make time to attend the earlier sessions on the day. Then I will adapt my presentation to confront and deal with the emerging issues. Unlike many ‘professional’ speakers I do not simply deliver the same practiced talk everywhere I go.

Robert AshtonI am also a skilled conference chair and facilitator. I quickly build rapport with my audience and prepare the way for each speaker. I will interview people who lack the confidence to deliver a presentation. Tell me the key issues you want drawn out and I will make sure they are fully debated.
