www.thenakedspeaker.comsimon@thenakedspeaker.com+27 82 565 0765ABOUT ME:Here are some things you might like to know about me and how I help organisations and the people in them:Much of my professional work was informed by a simple moment on a bus in Brixton, South London, in 1999, where I woke up to the extraordinary power of courage. • Cycled 13,000km’s from Cape Town to the UK, through 22 African countries over 14 months.• Spent 5 years as a British Army Officer in Kenya, Jordan, Cyprus, Germany and Norway.• Coached hundreds of people to 'Get their Mojo Back' and speak with power.• Spoken to over 1,000 audiences on the topic of Courage and Mojo.• Delivred a TEDx talk.• Published 'The Art of Courage: Debunking the Myth of Courage.' https://simonekin.com/books/IN MY WORK, I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT:. Courage - The Golden Ticket to living an extraordinary life. I do my best, and en-courage others, to take the courageous option, by connecting with their Mojo (MOreJOy).. Living life Now. We have no past (only memories) and no future. We only ever have now. Really. Helping people to courageously embrace this moment is where the magic happens.. Seeing people develop in the direction they are committed to, particularly in the area of public speaking and communication, in the areas of: Telling Your Story (that sells, transforms and influences) | Having Difficult Conversations | Mindfully Creating Connections with others. HOBBIES AND INTERESTS:Nature, conversation, meeting new people, diversity, culture and language, stand-up comedy, dancing, singing; pretty much anything where I can expand and explore my life!TRAVELLING:I have visited 42 countries, half of them in Africa, on a bicycle. My first foray into travelling was a solo trip to India in 1985. It changed my life (as travelling does.)MY 'ASK' OF YOU:Please connect with me if you are looking to hire an 'unusual' public speaker (what, the Naked Speaker?!) and someone genuinely interested in adding value to you and your people for your next conference or 'fireside chat.’I love to travel speak and facilitate. on stages and am interested in speaking this year, 2024 in the UK, US and Dubai.THREE LESSER KNOWNS FACTS ABOUT ME:• I am the middle child of 2 brothers, which somewhat explains being independent and social.• My great-uncle won a Victoria Cross (VC) in India, in 1857, at the siege of Jhansi.• I hate celery. Something must have happened to me in a past life.I'd love to hear from you! www.thenakedspeaker.comsimon@thenakedspeaker.com+27 82 565 0765
