Versatility |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Graeme is quite comfortable when a client says:
I want someone to deliver a hoax speech as a visiting German consultant ... then seriously portray a mentally depressed person ... then, in a Bob Dylan voice, sing a parody of The Times They Are A ’Changin .... then jump up as a disgruntled audience member and challenge the speaker .... then outline the biological heritage of our new strategic direction, as David Attenborough .... then advise the audience on customer service, as John Howard .... then poke fun at some of the characters in our sales force ... then do a Blues Brothers parody of Gimme Some Lovin’ on the subject of branding. Oh and by the way, I also want that same person to help us sort out exactly what the hell it is we really want to say .... interview our CEO on stage .... link all the presentation segments together as a credible and motivational MC .... and script everything he says specifically for us. How many people can you think of, who can perform all of the above tasks? Graeme’s strength lies in the versatility he brings to each event. This is particularly important when he is contributing to a lengthy conference. |
