Ayd Instone unleashes your people’s talent, helps them find their creative dynamic and unlocks Thought Innovation in your business.
Using humour, original songs (often bespoke to the audience, performed on acoustic guitar) and high energy, Ayd creates a unique, entertaining and inspirational performance.
You know it’s not easy putting together a day-long or multiple day programme that gets all the information and messages across to the audience without the audience losing concentration, focus or engagement at some point during the day
That’s where Ayd can help. His performance is designed to not only get a message across (about changing how you think to be better and achieve more) but also energises, entertains and inspires in such a way that it’s PERFECT for the slot where you feel concentration is at its lowest point.
Because Ayd is so energetic, original and entertaining, he is perfectly suited to energise your event in any of the key slots of:
The Opening - to begin the event on a high, to open delegates learning abilities, to have them in an inspired state to take on board more of the messages that will follow.
If you have a highly important speaker lined up - put Ayd on just before and he’ll get the audience in a state that will be ready to engage and think about the messages to come.
After lunch - getting delegates to return to concentration is tricky for the most experienced presenters. Ayd excels at it and can get the all room to be ‘back in the room’ to receive the most value from the rest of the day.
The Closing - Ayd can guarantee the event finishes on an inspired high, so that people leave motivated to take what they’ve learned back and take action on it.
After Dinner - Why waste resources on just an entertainer for the evening when you can have your after or pre-dinner slot filled with Ayd’s session that entertains AND continues to deliver learning value.
These days, there is more pressure on everyone to deliver more, to pack more and more in to a tighter schedule. Meeting planners have to make sure that time spent at an event is time and money well spent.
By incorporating Ayd's session into your programme you’ll find it will benefit the entire event, aiding concentration, memory retention and application of the information presented before and after my slot AND in a way that will stay with the delegates long after the event is over.
Please get in touch so we can discuss how to make your next event brilliant.
