Who truly shapes the impact of a professional speaker—the person on stage or the team guiding them behind the scenes? Reflecting on purpose, legacy and kindness, Nick Gold, MD of Speakers Corner, shares his realisation that while he and his team may not be the ones delivering the message on stage, their role in ensuring the right speaker reaches the right audience carries both privilege and responsibility. Nick explores how fun, genuine connection and challenging traditional measures of success inform his approach to business and life. By embracing uncertainty and change with intuition and curiosity, Nick demonstrates his focus on creating meaningful indelible impacts.
