Whilst ever off stage, I’m often asked for interviews by International, National, Regional and Local radio, Webinar and Podcast hosts. Here is my SHOWREEL and just a selection of some of my guest appearances!

Jay Allen Showreel

Jay Allen – TEDx

In July 2019, I was invited to be the Opening Keynote Speaker at TEDx Farnham. A themed event entitled “The Future is NOW”.

The event host, had heard me as the opening Keynote speaker at the ‘Thriving Entrepreneur’ Conference in January 2019, and approached me almost as I stepped from stage, and asked if I would be willing to open TEDx Farnham with an abbreviated version of this keynote entitled “The jobs to apply for, that don’t exist yet!”

Jay Allen – Thriving Entrepreneur Conference, London

In January 2019, I was commissioned to be the opening Keynote speaker for the ‘Thriving Entrepreneur’ Conference, hosted by Speaker Express in the Natwest Conference Centre, London.

It was such a pleasure to work alongside fellow speakers Elliot Kay and Daniel Priestley in delivering this bespoke content based on the future of entrepreneurship.

You will note, I have also created a significantly detailed E-Book based on all the research I carried out in preparing for this event.  Which can be found by clicking <here>

Jay Allen – Influence Conference, Cheshire

I was delighted to be invited to be the CLOSING Keynote Speaker at the Integrate to Influence Marketing Conference, by host and founder of the conference Koogar Digital.

A day full of speakers, delivering exceptional value on all aspects of marketing to predominantly SME business owner audiences from across Northern and Middle England.

 

Jay Allen as MC – British Education Awards 2020

In 2015 I was approached by the hosts of the first ever British Education Awards and asked if I would consider being their ONLY Non-Academia Judge for these prestigious awards, acknowledging and celebrating the tremendous academic achievements of some of the brightest young adults in the country.

In January 2020, alongside being one of the 4 Judges for the Awards, I was also invited to share the stage with Dr Basma – A senior university lecturer to collective be Master of Ceremonies at the 2020 British Education Awards, in front of over 100 finalists and their parents, lecturer and tutors. A couple of Lords and Ladies from the Upper House, Numerous Members of Parliament from the Lower House and a table full of county and town mayors.

Jay Allen – Meet the Owner Interview


Having presented several times for the MBA students at University, I was asked by their media team if I’d consider being interviewed for their Meet the Owner series.  They have their own YOUTUBE media company providing insightful interviews with Entrepreneurs and Business owners.

Here, we shared some insights into business ownership, the differences between being a business owner and an entrepreneur and more details about our #ADDAZERO Business challenge.


I have a strong belief in supporting others, no more so than those who are first starting out in the role as Business Owner.

I was keynoting for The Elite Network, when Scott approached me and advised how far he had travelled to hear me present that evening!  So when I had time for 1 or 2 questions at the end of the night, he was the first to ask, and invited me to be interviewed by him!

Here is that interview I completed with Scott Miers on his Industry Leader Interviews YouTube channel:

Jay Allen – Podcast interviewee

“Spartans – Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight we dine in hell” The Inquisitor Podcast

“8 essentials to every SCALEABLE business” Koogar – Integrate to Influence Podcast

If you would like to interview Jay for TV, Radio, Webinar or Podcast, he is more than willing to share his thoughts, views, and experiences on a number of different aspects of business and life.

Jay is a keen supporter of the Armed Forces Charity COMBAT STRESS and will also discuss his own PTSD condition and discuss the needs of retaining this subject at the height of public interest.

Please contact Jay should you wish to discuss further him sharing his thoughts or subject matter with your audience.

What is a Keynote Speech?

According to Wikipedia, a keynote in public speaking is a talk that establishes the main underlying theme.

In corporate or commercial settings, greater importance is attached to the delivery of a keynote speech or keynote address because the keynote establishes the framework for the training that follows.

Duration

Most keynote addresses are 45 minutes to 90 minutes long (although there is no rule limiting it to a certain duration). In a relatively short period of time, the keynote speaker has to establish rapport, educate, entertain the audience, and leave them wanting more.

A keynote is also meant to inspire the attendees to want to be at the event and stay there from start to finish. It should also give them a “Call to Action” to want to learn, interact, and bring home tools from the event that can improve sales, overcome negativity, or help them do their everyday duties better.

Depth

The keynote speaker must know their subject inside and out, and be able to offer insights or possible actions that are easy to understand and hard to forget. This is often accomplished with humour, personal stories, or unusual accomplishments.

Most attendees are looking for a “black belt” in a subject from the keynote speaker, someone that’s been there and done it, rather than simply read up and recited it!  They should be able to incorporate your event theme, terminology and have a working knowledge of the work they perform and the challenges and obstacles they face.

Jay Allen – Opening Keynote

As your opening keynote, I take the time to research the audience.  That I am relevant, fun, and energising. That energy is then carried on by the other participants throughout the rest of the conference.

From the moment I enter stage, I get the audience engaged, they are ready to hear my message and any message to follow. I emotionally charge the audience on the premise: “They will not remember what you did or said, they remember how you make them feel.”

You can count on me to set the stage for the rest of your event, and start your event with laughter, much to think about, and make this event, one of the most memorable this audience have ever attended.

Jay Allen – Closing Speaker

As a closing keynote speaker, I work to incorporate the event theme.  Reference significant points  during the event and much more into this captivating close.

One of the main goals in a closing keynote, is to provide the audience with a revitalised “Call To Action” they take back with them and implement straight away.  Invite me to keynote if you want your event to end on a high, with everyone energised and driven to achieve YOUR objectives.

I’ve just been tasked with finding a speaker, I’ve never done this before, what should I do?

OK, first—relax.

First determine your event audience, budget, date, and location. Only then will it be time to start researching speakers, either directly or through a speaker bureau, but either way, they will guide you through the process.

As a professional keynote speaker, our mission is to ensure your conference leaves the RIGHT lasting impression, and you the hero, by providing world-class resources and exceptional service (with some fun thrown in along the way).

Have you yet downloaded my Guide to planning a Successful Event?  It’s free, there’s no hidden agenda, simply a desire to ensure you’ve got everything covered.

You might also wish to book a call?

Again, NO hidden agenda, on more occasions than not, I’ll recommend at least 3-4 other speakers to every enquiry, based on my extensive knowledge of the speaker industry and the many speakers within it.

During the call I’ll help you to identify your exact needs. Only then can I help you find not only the right speaker on any given subject…but the best speaker for the event for your audience.

Selecting a speaker is a daunting process and choosing the right person from the thousands who claim to be amazing can seem impossible. Clearly knowledge and understanding of who’s who is key.

How many people does Jay speak to at events?

From 1 people to 10,001 in a single audience, as long as they can see and hear that’s fine.

I have spoken at local, regional, national and international events globally. Presented for groups of over 10,000 people and spoken for small retreats working with small groups and one-on-one coaching.

I am equally comfortable at being both opening or closing keynote, a general session or break out session speaker, and spoken at corporate away days, training events, client reward conferences, awards ceremonies and after dinner engagements across the UK and extensively oversea’s.

Can I audio or video record the presentation?

Some speakers do allow recording at no additional charge. Some do not wish to be recorded at all, and others agree to for an extra fee.

It is important to make your requests known in advance, prior to booking the speaker. Photography, filming or marketing should be discussed and agreed with the Speaker, so that all requests are included and agreed within the contract.

To remain transparent, my policy is that video/photography is accepted for internal non-commercial use, on the proviso I also get a copy of all footage prior to any editing. I very much support the use of video/photography for the promotion of the event, and happily provide a bespoke promotional video for clients shortly after booking has been confirmed.

However, having worked extremely hard to create content specifically for each audience, I take great pride in my work, as like yourselves have a business brand to protect.  Therefore, I have an ongoing commercial relationship with a specialist Intellectual Property Law firm, with whom provides a legal framework around the content I deliver. I therefore, do not agreed to any unauthorised recording of my presentation or the commercial use of such footage however gained without prior consent.

Testimonials

Debbie Creamer said…

Jay Allen has me in tears, and he had hardly begun

I only wish I’d met and listened to Jay 20 years ago.  Within minutes of walking onto stage I knew he had been sent to speak to me!  Every word he said resonated SO much with me right now, I was in tears as I realised all the errors I’ve been making within my business! He even stopped and offered me his handkerchief. By the end of the presentation he received an ovation, as EVERYONE in the auditorium recognised how much he had borne his soul as he shared his own harrowing journey to show us how silver linings are in the centre of every grey cloud. – Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Managing Director

Bob Mullard said…

Having had the privilege of hearing Jay a number of times, I can say unreservedly he is one of the greatest, most inspiring and thought provoking people I have ever met. From the moment he enters stage, he gets you in the palm of his hands and keeps you there transfixed as he moves you to another level – a truly professional, honest and no nonsense guy. You must see it to believe it. He is without doubt up there with the best.

CEO Triform Group

John Turnbull said…

Just completed the GET BIG or Go Home Masterclass with Jay. “I loved it” – The final UN slide really resonated with me. We are a Social Communications company but I think we need to think bigger on how we impact some of the significant challenges facing the world. – Jay was engaging, very well prepared and willing to provide the help and support, tailoring his content to each person on the course, exceptional.

Managing Director

George Anderson said…

Jay is a gifted speaker and presenter whom I have had the pleasure to hear on several occasions, and I can recommend him with confidence.

Chairman, WPA Healthcare

Liam Fitzmorris said…

I’ve heard some speakers in my time, and Jay was up there with the best

In all my years attending workshops, webinars, conferences and the likes, I can count on one hand the amount of speakers I’ve hard that have captivated an entire audience from start to finish. That takes some doing, and Jay did it seamlessly.
