• Keynote addresses at conferences and corporate awaydays.
• After-dinner and motivational speeches.

A specialist in the ‘people’ side of intelligence, Julian talks about what companies and individuals can learn from this world to enhance their effectiveness and productivity.  He focuses on leadership, interpersonal skills, motivations and influence.  He also guides organisations on the uses of intelligence in threat and risk management, privacy and security.  He can provide insights into global security matters, geopolitical risk and the realities behind headlines about terrorism, China, Russia and beyond.

Examples of keynote speeches that Julian offers include:

• “Human Intelligence in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”: in this talk, Julian explains how to win a competitive edge in the AI age by emphasizing interpersonal skills to build strategic relationships.

• “The business of spying: lessons from a parallel world”.  Again, this is a motivational talk that examines how businesspeople can think like a spy to grow client-bases and improve inter-cultural communication and understanding.

Examples of after-dinner talks offered by Julian include:

• “The Spy’s Essential Toolkit for Surviving Almost Anything, Almost Anywhere”.  This after-dinner talk is a light-hearted look at the world of spying, with a serious underlying message.
• “007: Licenced to Manage Risk”.  An alternative after-dinner talk, based on Julian’s experiences of operating in hostile environments.

Examples of Team Building Activities that Julian offers include:

• EXERCISE REVERSE GEAR: Planning Evacuation from a War Zone
