The
Talks.

Book a talk
T–01

The Burning Platform

Why most change initiatives die before the second meeting — and the brutally simple switch that makes people move with urgency instead of resistance.

Change Leadership 60 – 90 min Keynote
T–02

High-Floor, No Ceiling

Building cultures where the floor of acceptable performance is higher than your competitor's ceiling. Practical, direct, uncomfortable in the best way.

Culture Performance 45 – 75 min Workshop-ready
T–03

The Reckoning

A hard look at the stories organisations tell themselves — and the blunt reframe that unlocks the next decade of growth without burning the team out.

Strategy Resilience 90 min All-hands
T–04

Loud and Clear

For teams that have drifted into polite mediocrity. Marcus strips back the noise and gives leaders a voice worth following — again.

Communication Management 60 min Leadership Summit
T–05

After the Applause

The follow-through keynote. Designed for the second day of your conference when energy is dipping — Marcus turns that tension into your most productive hour.

Momentum Closing Keynote 45 min
// 02 — The speaker

No
Filler.

Marcus Vane spent twelve years inside organisations that were failing before they knew it. As an operator, then a turnaround advisor, then an executive coach — he watched the same avoidable patterns destroy teams that had every resource they needed to win.

He started speaking because he was furious that conference stages were being given to people who'd never actually had to make the call. He's not furious any more. He's just very, very direct — and audiences love him for it.

Clients book Marcus when they need a room that leaves with something to do, not just something to think about. He customises every talk to your industry, your moment, and the thing your people need to hear but keep avoiding.

What
They Said.

We've had speakers from Harvard, McKinsey, and the Googleplex. Marcus was the only one our team was still quoting six months later. He didn't inspire us — he rearranged something in the room.

Daniela Reyes Chief People Officer — Meridian Financial Group

Booked Marcus on a gut feeling after watching one clip. Rebooked him before his travel invoice landed.

Tom Albrecht Head of Events — Global HR Summit

He told 600 senior leaders something uncomfortable and they thanked him for it. That's not a speaker. That's a surgeon.

Priya Nakamura VP Learning — Vertex Technology

We hired Marcus for 60 minutes. He owned the entire two days of our leadership offsite because people wouldn't stop talking.

James Okafor CEO — Clearfield Advisory

Our post-session NPS was 94. I've been running events for 11 years. It's never been 94.

Claire Hoffman Event Director — Future of Work Forum

Don't book him if you want comfortable. Book him if you want change. That's exactly why we booked him. Three times.
