Brad’s talks are grounded in real outcomes. Brad built Kinetix from a single idea into a busy week-round provision, leading a growing team, with high levels of staff retention, and low levels of absenteeism, and securing significant grant funding support for large youth programmes. That hands-on experience gives his presentations credibility: they’re people-centred, pragmatic and designed to leave audiences with concrete actions they can use the next day. Brad is known for meeting audiences where they are, removing jargon, and making complex ideas practical and accessible.
