Nick Saunders is an award-winning keynote speaker and author specialising in the 3 C’s - communication, collaboration and conflict resolution. Nick delivers powerful messages in a highly entertaining style that is dynamic, fun and unpretentious.
In an era where employee engagement is down to 15% and 4 in 10 of us report some form of interpersonal conflict at work, Nick helps individuals and teams transform how they operate with others - working together more effectively, collaborating more successfully, functioning more professionally.
As a keynote speaker Nick has helped improve relationships in all sorts of organisations, in all sorts of industries, in all sorts of countries – in the corporate world, in education and in the not-for-profit sector.
Inspiring, relevant and fun, Nick is a plain talking, down to earth speaker who avoids (at all costs) any management-speak, highbrow lingo or gobbledygook.
Nick is a force of nature. He draws on personal stories with jaw-dropping honesty and his plain speaking style always goes down well.
Whether working in the business, education or charity sectors, Nick Saunders’ award winning six step model and energetic delivery leaves audiences entertained, inspired… and keen to act on what they’ve heard.
Nick Saunders has three main speaking topics for his keynote presentations:
Outstanding Teamwork: Many teams are good – but few are great.
Nick demonstrates that achieving a high performance team requires vision, compatibility, drive, commitment and mutual respect. Teamwork is about individuals working together to accomplish more than they could alone. It’s achieved by harnessing, pooling and utilising the resources available to the team – individual strengths, skills and experience.
Outstanding teamwork starts from understanding how to get the best out of people, how to develop stronger relationships and how to get everyone working together. Genuine teamwork increases efficiency, morale and performance.
Clear Communication & Collaboration
Getting on well with people at work is paramount; it gets the job done. In every organisation there will be times when colleagues don’t get on. We’ve all experienced incidents of niggles, frustrations, strained relationships, personality clashes, friction and conflict.
Nick Saunders is the guy who fixes this – by enabling people, colleagues and teams to work together more effectively, collaborate more successfully, function more professionally… all of which leads to improved performance.
Nick shares a powerful, practical, pragmatic 6 step model that enables colleagues to get on with, co-operate with and interact with anyone and everyone.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict at work can cause significant problems, and it’s by no means uncommon. Whilst we all know that organisations would benefit significantly by minimising conflict and finding ways to enable people to work together more effectively, resulting in better results on a day to day basis, it is often easier said than done.
• 4 in 10 of us report being involved in interpersonal conflict at work
• Managers spend on average 20% of their time dealing with conflict issues
• The CBI estimates that conflict in the workplace costs the UK economy £33 billion every year
The good news is there is a way to help colleagues relate to anyone (particularly in tricky situations) which in turn helps maximise the impact and effectiveness they have in their roles.
