About
Gareth Williams is a motivational speaker for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
At 28 Gareth Williams was living in a friend's garage with nothing. He now owns The Boxing Shop, has coached boxing for Australia, fronted events on television, and runs Boxing Beyond Barriers, a school program mentoring kids. He also failed every subject in grade 12, and he says so on stage. What you get is a straight talk from someone who started a business without knowing what an invoice was, delivered honestly and without the polish that usually comes with keynote work. Good fit for business audiences, schools, resilience and leadership programs. He needs a microphone, a small table and about five metres square to work in. Blue Card holder, based in Brisbane.
The show
Gareth Williams talks straight. He started a business without knowing what an invoice was, and he says so, which sets the tone for everything that follows. There's no keynote polish here and it isn't meant to be there. What lands with a room is the honesty. Business audiences, schools and resilience or leadership programs are where it works best.
On the day
A microphone, a small table, and a working area of about five metres by five as a minimum. Gareth moves around while he talks rather than standing behind a lectern, so it's the clear floor space that counts here, not the staging or the production around it.
