HOW TO BE MORE PIRATE

If you’re after an introduction to Be More Pirate, then I do a 30 minute to one hour keynote; an entertaining, high energy dive into the untold history of the Golden Age pirates and their surprisingly sophisticated strategies. From shared power to shared treasure, the pirates can teach modern organisations a thing or two about how to work together. I’ve updated Sam’s original premise, using the stories from our network - from local authorities to Lego, students to CEOs - the talk gives an overview of the pirate principles and how they’ve successfully been put into practice. On last count, I’ve spoken at over 70 different events, from 300 seat theatres in Skopje, to a year of Zoom audiences. I love introducing people to the truth about pirates.

"We had the pleasure of Alex presenting to 100+ people on the hottest day of the year and she was brilliant. Alex is a fantastic speaker, she is engaging, professional and funny. Her knowledge and passion came across loud and clear and the audience absolutely loved the presentation. It was one of the best events I have done and I would welcome her back any time."

- Barry Verdin, Business Change Specialist, The Open University

"Alex brought a totally different energy on the stage. Brave, passionate, honest and open to go all-in and create useful discussion with the audience. I can freely say, and the audience backs me up, that she was one of the best!"

- Darko Buldioski, Program Director, AllWeb

"Alex gave an excellent online talk for the Change Management Institute, she really brought the subject matter to life and I've now made it a personal goal to adopt some of what I learnt. We had a great turnout, several more colleagues requested the recording and a CMI board member has since suggested she present at one of our leadership events"
-Mike Mactavish, The Change Management Institute

“Alex’s 'Be more pirate' session was game changing. A masterclass in the power of storytelling to engage and energise an audience. Myself and the team all left re-energised. We’re now actively waving the pirate flag in the workplace."
