My Main Keynotes
Over the last 17 years of speaking, I have developed a wide range of speaking topics, from sales, sustainability, marketing and manufacturing. Most of what I discuss falls into my main keynotes;
My Chocolate box methodology
My chocolate box methodology sums all the constituent parts I used to turn a kitchen table startup into a business selling to 17 countries in 8 years. It revolves around a deep understanding of consumer psychology and the limbic brain. In the talk, I run through creating a powerful brand that uses emotions to make powerful connections with your audience and customers. I also discuss marketing strategies that identify objective data, research and sales processes that I've used to sell to some of the world's largest companies.
Spaghetti & Apple Juice
At age 13, I would have a ten-minute conversation that would change my perspective forever. I was being tutored by one of the world's top chocolatiers, Bart Van Cauwenberghe, when one day, we sat down, and he asked me a unique question. I never looked back. A year later, I received an award at the House of Lords for 'Outstanding achievement in the food and drink sector'. Now, I use the technique I was given on that fateful day to help my clients excel, winning awards and recognition in their industry.
Who I speak for
I enjoy speaking to a wide range of organisations, from small business groups in the UK to amphitheatres of over 4,500 in Malaysia. I find that the majority of my clients fit into the following categories;
Corporate
I believe corporate organisations have all the resources at their disposal to rapidly unlock massive potential in both revenue and impact. With my entrepreneurial and innovative methods, I can bring different perspectives and views to build new ways of thinking. Let me inspire your organisation and give you a competitive edge.
Education
From a young age, I always felt different. After being diagnosed with several neurodiverse conditions, including dyslexia and ADHD, I struggled with education and bullying. Using my personal experience and knowledge, I talk to students of all ages on resilience, perseverance, and overcoming adversity whilst realising that everything is possible with the right mindset.
NGOs & Charities
For me, sustainability and social impact isn't a question of "Should we?" but "Why wouldn't we?". For 17 years, I have been spreading my message far and wide whilst making a difference with my businesses and encouraging clients to do the same. Let me speak to your audience on incorporating entrepreneurial thinking into growing your impact and raising more funds.
Louis Barnett is a truly remarkable young man
and he has a marvellous gift for communicating his knowledge and enthusiasm to others. The speech he made in accepting an award by Lady Krebs, at a ceremony in the House of Lords would have done credit to a seasoned politician. I warmly commend him as a young speaker of remarkable ability and very considerable promise"
