Public Speaking

Business Speaker and Workshop Facilitator — Jonathan Cozens, UK

Uncomfortable
questions.
Useful answers.

Keynotes and workshops that challenge how your audience thinks about growth, decision-making and what their business is genuinely capable of. Provocative, practical and memorable.

How To Book
The best talks don't tell people what they want to hear. They tell them what they need to know — in a way that lands well.

After 10 years working with founder-led and board-led businesses, I've noticed a consistent pattern: most businesses know something needs to change. What they lack is someone willing to name it out loud — and show them what to do about it.

That's what I bring to a room. Not a feel-good narrative that fades by Monday morning — a clear-eyed case for change, and the frameworks to make it stick.

Formats

How I Work
With You

Keynote

Keynote Address

A single, powerful talk designed to shift perspective and spark conversation. I work with you in advance to ensure the content lands in the context of your event and your audience — not as a generic off-the-shelf presentation, but as something that speaks directly to where your people are right now.

Typically 30–60 minutes · Q&A available · Conference, association and leadership events

Workshop

Interactive Workshop

A structured half-day or full-day session designed for leadership teams, accelerator cohorts or founder groups. Participants don't just listen — they apply the frameworks to their own businesses and leave with something tangible. Built for action, not inspiration alone.

Half-day or full-day · Groups of 8–30 · Leadership teams, accelerators, business associations

Speaking Topics

What I
Talk About

All topics can be tailored to your audience and event format. I'm happy to discuss a bespoke angle if none of these is quite right.

01
The Four Hats Principle
Why every healthy business needs four distinct voices — the Innovator, the Business Leader, the Evangelist and the Owner — and what happens when any one of them goes unheard. A framework that changes how leaders think about every decision they make.
02
3x in 3 Years
Tripling turnover in three years is achievable for most well-run businesses — not because of talent or luck, but because of architecture. This talk makes the case for ambitious goal-setting, explains why modest targets are actually riskier, and shows the decision-making foundations that make 3x not just possible but planned.
03
Businesses Don't Fail to Grow. They Fail to Decide to Grow.
The most common reason businesses plateau has nothing to do with the market, the competition or the economy. It's a decision — usually an unconscious one — to accept the current trajectory. This talk names that decision and challenges the audience to make a different one.
04
The Risk You're Already Taking
The risks of growing are visible. The risks of standing still are invisible — but that doesn't make them smaller. This talk reframes the growth decision entirely, making the hidden costs of inaction impossible to ignore.
