As a programmer who successfully transitioned into management and consulting, Iain also speaks on developing negotiation, management and leadership skills for technical staff moving into executive roles. Especially in the STEM sector, technical staff often struggle as career advancement brings a new need for soft-skills and public speaking. When retaining top talent is critical to business success, why leave this to chance? Iain helps ensure the people side of technical management is deliberately cultivated and practised, making for happier, productive, and lasting teams.


“What a refreshing and informative spin on public speaking! It was so great to have Iain breakdown the process for the not-for-profit sector at the BOSS conference, all while entertaining us with his juggling talents. And it was applicable to so many aspects of my life beyond presentations!”
