Jacob Carlile

Jacob Carlile studies what actually makes a business work: development, marketing and sales, plus human behaviour and the psychology of running your own thing. That research is the backbone of the talks. Two core sessions sit at the front of the list. EMPOWER, INNOVATE, CREATE looks at business fundamentals from both the daily grind and the wider view, drawn from growing up in small business and later working with large corporations. TIME IS THE COMMODITY is aimed at start-up phase founders turning an idea into something real. Keynotes can be customised, and there are interactive workshops and seminars as well. Give him a headset mic, a flip chart and a screen and he'll use the whole stage.
