BUSKING, BANKRUPTCY & BROADWAY
There are not many speakers in Australia who have the breadth of skills and experience as that of Glynn Nicholas-a consummate performer he is in a class of his own and his keynote address is exceedingly funny, insightful and genuinely uplifting.
Nicholas is an entrepreneur who, when he was a busker used to perform outside the very West End Theatre where, 20 years later years later he would present one of his musicals to huge critical acclaim. He is the only Australian Producer to have the biggest-grossing production at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (the largest Arts market in the world) and his solo shows still hold box office records in many theatres around the country.
Busking, bankruptcy and Broadway paints the picture, but what makes this address so good is the way Glynn combines practical business advice with philosophical and psychological insights about what it is that gives our lives real value beyond making a buck and growing your business.
Favourite words ‘Flourishing-Reconciliation and Paradox’ signify themes that are explored with the lightest of touches but with powerful effect on people.
No power points-just one man with an incredible array of performance abilities, an inspiring story and insights that audiences will find enlightening and challenging.

Your performance at our Red Nose Day launch was absolutely outstanding You were the consummate professional. Our supporters rated the launch the best ever and particular praise was reserved for the manner in which you acted as Master of Ceremonies.
We’ve had nothing but rave reviews about the evening and much of this can be attributed to your role as MC. Your professionalism and ability to captivate and control our audience with your humour was terrific.
Glynn to the rescue I knew that you would be funny and that the audience would respond positively to you but did not expect, in the preparation time available, for the material that you prepared to be so relevant to the Advisers and their role in AMP. It hit all the right spots with the audience. You seemed to understand their world and feed it back to them with humour, pathos but most importantly with respect. Your versatility, intelligence, humour and physical performance skills totally engaged.
