Tom loves to talk and would be very happy to share insights and experiences on his life as an inventor with you and your audience.

 

Whether you're organising a conference, looking for an after dinner speaker, want to inspire a classroom (or an entire school) or would simply like him to join you on Zoom to give a guest lecture to your students or team.

 

 

Themes can be tailored accordingly but include:

 

• An inventor's brain - thinking laterally as the natural way

• Innovation on a shoestring - you don't need big budgets to be creative

• Inspiration is all around us - you see what you choose to see

• Suststainability and design for longevity - reaching zero carbon goals

• Personal resilience - the art of never giving up, but learning to let go

• Finding your passion - trusting your inner voice & being true to yourself

 

Anything is possible! Since lockdown began Tom has found that a well organised Zoom presentation can be just as rewarding as being with an audience in person as attendees get involved with Q&A's and being able to broadcast from his studio means he has an inventive prop in hand for every story.

'It's exhilarating to listen to Tom talk and he inspires with every word. We look forward to having him back in to give us a guest lecture again'

Tom Crawford, Global Director of Sustainability, Dyson
