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

The Best Opening Line for Your Sales Pitch (And What to Never Say)
Most people open a sales pitch by talking about themselves. Their company, their history, their locations. And that’s exactly why they lose the room in the first 30 seconds.
In this video, Trevor Ambrose breaks down the two-line pitch opener that gets people to put their phones down and actually listen — and why starting with “we” or “I” is the fastest way to kill a pitch before it even starts.
🔑 What you’ll learn:
The one word you should never open a pitch with
The two-line framework that captures attention immediately
Why making it about the audience (not your company) changes everything
Whether you’re pitching to a boardroom, a client, or a room full of decision-makers, this works.
0:00 The question every salesperson should ask
0:16 What NOT to do in a pitch opener
0:36 Why “we” and “I” kill your pitch
1:07 Line one: state why you’re there
1:33 Line two: name the problem
1:59 Why this works every time

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
