John Cremer
John is a professional speaker and trainer much in demand in the corporate world. He was awarded ‘speaker of the decade’ by the Academy of Chief Executives in 2009. His work is refreshingly different and effortlessly switches from light and humorous to deeply profound. John has expertise in two unusual yet complementary areas of personal and professional development.
In the realm of improvisation skills training he is an acknowledged master at rapidly taking groups of professionals outside of their comfort zones to learn highly effective engagement tools. The experience is hilarious, challenging and rewarding. Participants take away skills that have been learned and applied on the spot. The benefits are immediately transferable to the workplace and can be more finely tuned with further training. The techniques bring increased confidence, team bonding, creative thinking, innovation and a lot of laughs. John is the author of the book ‘Improv’. Recent clients for this work include Nokia, Deloitte, Accenture, T-Mobile, Logica, EADS and Microsoft
He is the founder of the Maydays Improvisation Troupe, an award winning company which provides bespoke training and shows for corporate events. Their recent clients include Investec Bank, Legal and General Insurance, British Council and Friends of the Earth. In 2010 John and Neil Mullarkey co-founded the Business Improv Lab to further develop the business applications of these skills.
John also has over 20 year’s expertise in Reading People. This is a system based on ancient wisdom which enables rapid and penetrating understanding of people simply through observation. The basic principles can be learned in a few hours but applying the knowledge to oneself requires a life time.
The benefits come from raising awareness at personal, professional, cultural and global levels. The material is thought provoking and gives clear methods to untangle and avoid conflict and misunderstanding. John is the author of ‘Reading People’. Recent clients for this work include the Academy for Coaching, Vistage, Metropolitan Police Service and the United Nations.
“Thanks for your workshop today as part of the National Tourism Management Institute Conference. You fulfilled my objectives of breaking the mould of a normal conference workshop superbly. What you managed to achieve, just in one hour, will continue to affect the participants for a very long time. It is clear from the feedback that the session turned out to be the most stimulating, thought provoking and effective of the whole conference. I very much hope that we have the opportunity work together again in the future.” Martin Peters, Chief Executive, Leicester Promotions Ltd
