He has been called: a maverick, crazy, mad, intense, outspoken and creative, nice guy, not normal, naughty and passionate.
His titles include: son, brother, student, captain, drop-out, shit stirrer, detective sergeant, real estate agent, insurance broker, body guard, entrepreneur, boss, national training manager, consultant, author, comedian, friend, husband, and his greatest achievement – DADDY! (any idiot can be a father)
He is also SA’s biggest, busiest, most sought after platform speaker in the country (undisputed fact), and regarded as one of the Big 3. While others claim these facts, Gavin’s calendar, results and feedback are available for verification.
Gavin attains “outstanding” ratings from delegates 90% of the time (5% no responses, and the other 5% from conservatives who’s ideas were challenged and they disliked him for it). He has been on the speaking circuit since 1994 locally and internationally and speaks to over 2000 people in a month and gets standing ovations from coast to coast.
He will always provide a “take home” message that can be used to get results immediately. Having run his own companies and worked with hundreds of corporate clients, he delivers meaningful messages and can pick up on any event or other speaker’s activities on the agenda and build on a theme thereby giving more value to the whole event and cementing other ideas.
Gavin is about change, innovation and doing things differently. He has easy, practical but certainly different ideas that work by liberating others uniqueness. Breaking the ordinary and thinking out of the box is what he does best. Gavin has also been described as a special, down to earth human being committed to helping others succeed in life.
By being his natural self, he hopes that people are able to realise that they are good enough to be “themselves”. Gavin believes the greatest gift you can give anyone is to be yourself. His life is about helping others LIVE theirs and his passion is to help you succeed in yours.
He is not a “motivational speaker” but a powerful “Attitude Shifter”, and he is determined to help ordinary people achieve BIG things and realize BIG dreams by telling it like it is.
He interacts well with groups as diverse as primary and high school children, teachers, varsity students, lecturers, professors, doctors, engineers, accountants, cleaners, clerks, cops, Supreme Court Judges, junior admin clerks, junior or senior management, sales teams, service departments, black white or mixed audiences.
He can design, theme, and host entire conferences including placing and advising on the correct speakers for your event, and with dozens of talks, and new ideas every day, and a style that gets through – you know it’ll be fresh, new and inspiring.
So, if you would like to die an original, and not a carbon copy, or would like to take home a number of thought-provoking BIG ideas for getting results …….. open your mind, think BIG and get Gavin in for your next event.
