GLYNN NICHOLAS -  KEY NOTE SPEAKER

There are not many keynote speakers in Australia who have the breadth of skills and experience as that of Glynn Nicholas. 

With rare personal warmth, intellectual clarity, and drawing on his 33 years as a Performer, Director and Theatre Producer, Glynn presents one of the most engaging and inspiring keynote addresses in the country.
Emigrating alone at 19 to Australia from Wales, he built a career as an award-winning busker, stand-up comedian, actor, singer, television personality and in more recent times as a writer, Director and Producer of TV shows, plays and musicals performed in Australia, Asia, Europe  USA and London’s West End.

In his inimitable relaxed and warm style, Glynn shares the ups and downs and the day to day challenges of running a small business when times are tough, the competition is fierce and many others give up because it’s all “just too hard.” 

Working and competing with some of the biggest theatre entrepreneurs in the world, Glynn shares his insights into some of the challenges faced by many businesses including:

  • Team work  (finding, hiring, and working with the right people)  So you think it’s hard managing your team at work, Glynn shares his lessons of managing 40 cast and crew in the world’s busiest arts market and festival... on the other side of the globe 
  • Developing relationships with your clients (never underestimate what they can do for your business)
  • Entrepreneurship (Glynn's company is one of a handful of Australian commercial theatre producers exporting Australian shows to some of the biggest markets in the world)
  • Perseverance (years to create one show, average 4 years to land a deal)
  • Belief in your ability and your business (losing everything and coming back stronger than ever)
  • Engaging with people: 33 years as a performer, producer and director, Glynn understands how to connect with people, individually and as a group
  • Dealing with Change: Learn how to change your perspective, and see the opportunities
  • Glynn’s story is one of perseverance, overcoming hard times, learning the hard lessons, moving forward.

Glynn is an inspired storyteller and he loves to entertain, imbuing every event with a sense of expectation and energy. He knows how to connect and to keep an audience focussed, intrigued, entertained and with much to think about in the days following.
His topics range across a broad spectrum of subject matter and can be tailored to suit a variety of conference themes.

 

MASTER OF CEREMONIES A popular choice for MC, Glynn is entertaining and keeps the audience constantly amused - he has vast experience with one-off events and 2 to 3-day conferences (note for any international work he speaks French & German) He’ll help keep the event on time and can act as convener when required.

 

FEATURED COMEDY PERFORMER

Much more than just a stand-up comedian, Glynn is renowned as one of the country’s finest mime artists, with an array of hilarious routines (sometimes including volunteers from the audience) He also sings and plays guitar with skill and ease.
