Trusted to inspire leaders in New Zealand & Australia
A high energy experience people act on for years
I blend storytelling and learning to create lasting impact. I don’t just talk to crowds; I engage them emotionally. I can take a flat line room to a hefty heartbeat quickly, with an infectious energy that’s impossible to resist.
When you want people to do something, I create positive, action-focused energy where people believe more is possible and feel invigorated to get going. Talks always include pragmatic ideas people can use immediately because I’m all about setting people up for success and delivering change.
Emotion triggers evolution, so I will move your audience unapologetically. I go real, raw, and human, because I know from experience a talk must take people to a deeper, more vulnerable level to have positive results.
"Angus doesn’t just talk to a crowd; he sucks them in emotionally in the best way. He
creates possibility – by the end of a talk there’s a vibration of action energy in the room.
His legit superpower is to bring a room back to life and get them eager to go.”
Nicola Borlase, General Manager People & Culture, Fulton Hogan
