Speaking & Keynotes

The room changes when he walks in, generally because he is dancing.

Zach has spoken to boardrooms, lecture theatres, conference stages and halls. He doesn't deliver a presentation.

He starts a conversation, not just gives a talk

What I bring to the room.

I

Unprepared: The Skills Gap

Corporate · Education · Festivals

We have spent decades building education systems that produce technically capable graduates who cannot handle a difficult conversation, read a room, or disagree with a client without losing the contract. This talk is the argument behind the book — honest, direct, and uncomfortable in exactly the right ways.

II

The Unconventional Journey

Leadership · Entrepreneurship · Universities

Fifteen companies. Twenty-five board seats. Eight industry sectors. A theatre school. A Dungeon Master's screen. This is not a conventional entrepreneurial story — and that is precisely the point. For organisations that want their people to think differently about what a career can look like.

III

The Renaissance Polymath: On Refusing to Be One Thing

Keynote · Festivals · Leadership Development

The most dangerous professional in any room is the one who refuses to be just one thing. A case for breadth, intellectual courage, and building a career that refuses to be curated into something smaller than you actually are.

Let's talk about your event.

Available for keynotes, half-day workshops, panel appearances, lecture series and festival programming. Typically booked 6–12 weeks in advance.
