Book Stephen Norris to Speak | Punk Rock Media
Book Stephen Norris to speak. Stephen Norris is a keynote speaker, founder, adviser, author and punk rock frontman. He learned to hold a room from the front of a punk gig, not a podium. The boardroom is just a smaller room. Stephen delivers keynotes for leadership conferences, founder and entrepreneur events, company off-sites, innovation and culture programmes, sales kick-offs, podcasts, panels and media interviews. Signature keynote topics include Punk Rock Leadership; Sell Like It Is a Backroom Gig; Punk Was Always a Business Plan; Raised by Rejection; and Fit In or Forget It. Audiences take away permission to drop the corporate accent, a way to turn rejection into relevance, the courage to stop pitching and start showing up, clarity about who they are not for, and a reminder that leaders can fill the room without smoothing themselves out. Formats include keynote speeches, fireside chats, panels, leadership events, company off-sites, podcast guest appearances and media interviews. Speaking enquiries: studio@punkrockmedia.co.uk.
