About Ian

Ian Hawkins has been in the business of speaking
and presenting for 20 years.


On leaving university, Ian wrote for BBC Comedy
shows including The News Quiz and Loose Ends
before becoming an agent at the UK’s largest
speaker bureau. During his five years in the job, he
closed two of the company’s five biggest deals.


As well as speaking and coaching, Ian has worked
as a professional stand up comedian, appearing on
both sides of the Atlantic and studied improv at the
UCB Theatre in New York. As a business journalist,
he has worked on films for BBC World, Reuters and
CBS on locations including Nicaragua, Morocco,
Sweden and the United States.


Today, he spends his time helping people who
speak as part of their job to do it better. He is also
an in-demand moderator for conferences and
events in the UK and Europe; and because
comedians never really retire, he is resident
Quizmaster at The Ivy Club and QED Manchester.


Ian believes that being heard is a human right; that
speaking in front of others is an act of leadership;
and that everyone deserves support to improve
their skills.
