Conferences and Keynotes

When your senior leaders take the stage in front of their whole organization or at clients’ events, it is a powerful moment—one that can cement a leader’s reputation for years to come. We direct major international conferences for companies such as VMware, Workday, Temenos, Cohesity and SEEQ.

Our consultancy is full service—starting offsite with helping company leaders to create and align keynote messaging, supporting them onsite with delivering their presentations to live and hybrid audiences, and providing detailed feedback after the event.

We have coached entire presentation teams from CEO and CRO down to breakout leaders to ensure their messaging is on point and audience participation is high. In addition, we have coached external speakers from Microsoft, Santander International, HCLTech, ABN AMRO, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg, EQ Bank and the University of Cambridge to maximize their contribution and exposure at global conferences.

What keynote speakers are saying

  • " It has been an absolute pleasure working with Richard and Stuti from Seydways Consulting. They played an instrumental role in supporting our Corporate and Sales Kick-Offs, as well as our annual Investor and Customer Events.<br/><br/>For our Customer Event in particular, their contribution was critical—ensuring message alignment and flawless delivery across all plenary sessions. This included our own executive team (CEO, CRO, CPTO, CMO) as well as guest speakers from Microsoft and major banks such as Santander. <br/><br/> Well ahead of the event, they took the time to understand each speaker’s style, providing tailored recommendations to improve delivery while adapting to our evolving goals. They were involved in everything from content review and rehearsal scheduling to onsite delivery and logistics, always with an exceptional level of professionalism. <br/><br/> When last-minute challenges arose—as they always do—they handled them with calm, positivity, and a solutions-first mindset, ensuring every issue was resolved swiftly. Importantly, their support didn’t stop at the event. They followed up with video reviews and constructive debriefs for each speaker, setting us up for even stronger future performances. <br/><br/> Their expertise, adaptability, and collaborative spirit are unmatched. I look forward to working with them again. "

  • “ Richard coached me for one of the most important presentations I have ever given, a live presentation to my sales team of 6,000 people. Without question the communication skills he shared with me contributed greatly to the success of the presentation. More than any other communication coach I have encountered, the skills were practical and easily understood. He also did one other key thing; he didn’t try to change who I was, but instead made me comfortable with who I was. I am continuing to work with Richard at VMware. ”
