Anyone can hold a microphone. Hosting is the other 95 percent.
When you book me, you are not booking an announcer. You are booking the person who designed the event, who will stand in front of your people, read the room like weather, and carry the day from the first minute to the last handshake.
I personally create, manage and host events. Across affiliated businesses, the company-reported reach is 37 countries and 700+ cities (company-reported figures across affiliated businesses; not solely Jeremy’s personal delivery record), for groups from twenty people to rooms of thousands. Here is what that actually looks like, depending on what your day needs.
The host
Some events do not need a speaker. They need a spine.
A hosted event has a person who owns the arc of the day: the energy in the first fifteen minutes, the moment teams form, the pace of the rounds, the finale that turns a competition into a memory. When I host, that person is me – not a hired emcee reading a run sheet about your company, but the person who built the experience and knows why every piece of it exists.
What that buys you, concretely:
- A room that mixes. Left alone, people sit with their own team and talk to nobody new. I form the teams, set the table, and get strangers solving things together inside the first quarter hour.
- Energy that is managed, not hoped for. Rounds are timed to peak early and land hard. When a room dips, I feel it before the yawns start, and the format changes on the spot.
- A close that means something. The finale connects what happened back to your team and your goals – in your language, not generic inspiration.
The emcee
Conferences fail in the gaps. The keynote ends, the energy leaks out of the room during a clumsy transition, and by the third gap your audience is in the hallway checking email.
A good emcee is the thread that holds the day together: he knows the speakers, frames why each one matters, keeps the clock honest without making it the audience’s problem, and fills a dead five minutes like it was planned. I emcee corporate events and conferences the same way I host – prepared to the minute, loose enough to handle the day as it actually unfolds, and always working for the room rather than the stage.
The keynote – the comfort zone principle
My keynote is one idea, earned in thousands of rooms:
Strong teams are not built by sitting together. They are built by solving something together.
Teams do their best bonding a little outside their comfort zone – in a challenge that is fun, competitive, and just hard enough that nobody can win alone. That stretch is what forces real communication, collaboration and trust. Not trust as a slide bullet. Trust as something people watched each other do.
In the talk I tell the stories that prove it: the executives who went silent when a child received the wheelchair they had built that afternoon; the department that had not spoken properly in a year, finishing each other’s sentences over a challenge neither side could crack alone. Then I give your leaders the principle in a form they can use the following Monday – how to set a stretch, how to keep it fun instead of stressful, and how to close it so the lesson sticks.
It runs as a keynote on its own, or as the frame around a hosted experience the same day – talk in the morning, proof in the afternoon.
What booking me involves
- A conversation first. We talk about your people, your goals, and what a win looks like. If I am not the right host for it, I will say so.
- Design around your day. Whether it is a keynote slot, a full hosted event, or an emcee role across a conference, the content is built for your room – your industry, your inside jokes, your message.
- One point of responsibility. I personally create, manage and host. You are not handed off to a junior team on the day.
