Speaking

Keynote speaker, APEX 2026, Las Vegas

I speak about what actually separates the agents who last from the ones who don’t, and why most brokerages lose eight out of every ten people they hire.

Twenty three years in the industry. Junior agent to Managing Director. Two countries, nine awards, and teams that have sold and rented over AED 5 billion in property value.

Talks

What I speak about

Three talks, all built from twenty three years of doing the job rather than reading about it. Each can run as a keynote, a breakout or a half day workshop.

For agents

Stop guessing your month

Why the good month is always followed by a dead one, the eight week lag that causes it, and the operating system that ends the swing. The talk people quote back to me most.

For brokerage owners and managers

Why eight of your ten new hires will be gone in two years

Agent churn is almost never a hiring problem. It’s a month one problem. What it actually costs, where it happens, and what to build instead.

For everyone in the room

Discipline is a design problem

The personal one. 105kg to 82kg, junior negotiator to Managing Director, and what both of those had in common. Honest, uncomfortable in places, and not a motivational talk.

Why book me

I’ve done the job, not just studied it

Most people speaking about real estate performance have either never carried a target or haven’t carried one this decade. I’ve been a junior negotiator, a top producer, a branch manager and a Managing Director, in the UK and in Dubai, and I still run a brokerage today.
