Haven't Got an MBA? Read This Book Instead
If you're stepping into a leadership role and wondering where to start — this book is worth your time.
In this video, Trevor shares one of his favourite reads for upcoming young leaders: The Visual MBA by Jason Barron. It covers everything from leadership and marketing strategy to business negotiations and financial reporting — and it does it through drawings and visuals rather than dense theory.
No MBA required. No prior business degree needed. Just a willingness to learn and a highlighter.

Body Language That's Making Speakers Worse (Not Better)
You've probably heard it: 70% of communication is body language, 25% is tone, and only 5% is the actual words you use. It gets quoted everywhere — books, courses, Google, corporate training days.
There's just one problem. It's not doing you any favours.
In this video, Trevor explains why this statistic creates more anxiety than it solves, why Christopher Reeve is the most powerful counter-argument to it, and what you should actually be focusing on when you speak in public.
0:00 – The body language statistic that won't go away
0:26 – Why Trevor thinks it's nonsense
0:56 – Christopher Reeve: the most powerful speaker who couldn't move
1:25 – How this statistic makes speakers more anxious, not better
1:49 – What actually connects you with an audience
2:19 – The real goal: shine the spotlight on your audience

The Worst Public Speaking Advice Everyone Repeats
"Just keep practising and you'll get there." It sounds reasonable. It's repeated constantly. And when it comes to public speaking, it's genuinely bad advice.
Practice doesn't make perfect — it makes permanent. Which means if you're practising the wrong things, you're just getting very good at doing it incorrectly.
In this video, Trevor breaks down why the most common piece of advice given to nervous speakers actually works against them, what the golf analogy reveals about how skill development really works, and why connection — not perfection — is the real goal when you're standing in front of a room.
0:00 – The advice that needs to stop
0:25 – The golf ball analogy — why repetition alone doesn't work
0:45 – Practice makes permanent, not perfect
1:14 – Why feedback and adjustment are the real game changers
1:57 – The biggest myth in public speaking: perfection
2:24 – What to strive for instead — connection over perfection

How to Answer a Question You Don't Know the Answer To
Every speaker faces it eventually — someone asks a question you simply don't know the answer to. Most people panic. But there are three straightforward ways to handle it that actually build your credibility rather than damage it.
In this video, Trevor shares three practical techniques for responding to questions you can't answer, whether you're presenting to a boardroom, speaking at an event, or fielding tough questions in a meeting.
Knowing what to say when you don't know what to say is one of the most underrated public speaking skills — and it's a lot simpler than most people think.
0:00 – The question every speaker dreads
0:24 – Tip 1: Use the room — someone else might know
0:50 – Tip 2: Make an educated guess (transparently)
1:41 – The power of stating the inverse
2:00 – Tip 3: Just be honest — and follow up fast
2:43 – Share how you handle it in the comments

Can Introverts Be Good at Public Speaking? (The Answer Might Surprise You)
Think being an introvert means you're not cut out for public speaking? Think again. Some of the world's most compelling speakers are introverts — and in this video, Trevor breaks down exactly why that is.
The difference between introverts and extroverts has nothing to do with speaking ability. It comes down to energy. Once you understand that distinction, the whole myth falls apart.
Whether you're reserved by nature or somewhere in the middle, this video will change how you think about your own potential as a communicator.

Is Your CRM Lying to You? The Evidence Test You Need
Most salespeople are using their CRM backwards — following what the system tells them instead of driving performance through it. The result is a pipeline full of deals that feel closer than they are, and a sales process that's reactive rather than proactive.
In this video, Trevor shares three practical steps to take back control of your CRM: customise your stages to match how your customers actually buy, use evidence to know exactly where each deal really sits, and match the right activities to each phase so nothing stalls.
0:00 – Are you a slave to your CRM?
1:10 – Customise your stages for your business
2:24 – The evidence test — how to know where a deal really is
2:54 – Match your activities to each phase

Why Your Best People Are Underperforming (It's Not What You Think)
Two seeds from the same tree. One planted in a rainforest, one in a desert. Same seed — completely different results. The difference wasn't the seed. It was the environment.
In this video, Trevor uses this simple study to ask a question every leader should be asking: are you creating the right conditions for your people to flourish? Because if your team isn't performing the way you hoped, the problem might not be the people — it might be the soil you've planted them in.
0:00 – The seed study that changes how you think about performance
0:43 – It's not the seed. It's the environment.
1:33 – What does a good environment actually look like?
2:44 – Small things that make a big cultural difference
