SPEAKING EVENTS

Real Stories. Extraordinary Experiences. Practical Lessons that Last.

​

For more than twenty years, Al Mennie has spoken to audiences across schools, universities, businesses, conferences and community organisations.

Rather than delivering a traditional lecture, Al speaks alongside long-time friend and colleague Rich Robinson, creating an engaging, conversational style that audiences consistently describe as authentic, entertaining and memorable.

Together they combine extraordinary real-world experience with practical lessons that inspire people to think differently about pressure, resilience, leadership and performance.

Available for in-person and online events.

​

Why Book Al & Rich?

Every audience is different.

Rather than delivering the same scripted presentation every time, each event is shaped around the audience, drawing on real experiences from exploration, business, sport and overcoming adversity.

The result is an engaging conversation that feels personal, relevant and memorable.

Audiences don't just leave inspired.

They leave with practical ideas they can apply in their own lives.

What Makes These Talks Different?

We don't believe people remember PowerPoint presentations.

They remember stories.

Our events combine real adventures, honest conversations, humour and practical lessons that audiences continue talking about long after the event has finished.

No two talks are exactly the same.

Every audience shapes the conversation.
