Ben Afia

I’ve had the pleasure of watching Ben speak on several occasions over the last few years, and every single time he does something that I believe is really important when it comes to speaking. He doesn’t speak to an audience, he speaks with them. He is great at creating rapport, and there’s a real natural warmth and workshopper’s instinct that comes through in his delivery. Not only does he get that connection, but he also gives people something they can actually use. He brings genuine expertise around AI, but also a very human approach to it.

Ben spoke for us at Business Marketing Club. He was careful to understand our audience and objectives, as well as the setting for the event. His presentation was brilliant – passionate on the topic of bringing the human into business, engaging with his audience throughout the presentation and Q&A. Recommended.

Ben helped us transform our organisation – elevating our customer experience and making us more human. Ben’s incredibly engaging, knows what he’s talking about and is a pleasure to work with. This has been cultural transformation which has captured the imagination of the whole organisation.

Ben worked with our entire organisation, from trustees to frontline staff, to help us with our brand and tone of voice. He totally “got” our personality through interviews and several workshops – which he facilitated wonderfully! As well as getting the output he needed, our staff found them one of the best team-building activities ever. Thank you, Ben, for everything!

Ben has a smart presentation style. He’s a solid speaker with game-changing approaches to corporate and consumer communication. Ben helped BCD transform to a global communication engine, where our strategy and goals are understood and the messages are fun and easy to read.

Such a fantastic session Ben, our Newcastle members took so much away from your talk. The way you broke down AI into real, practical applications for assistants made it easy to see how powerful these tools can be in day-to-day work. Thank you for delivering such an engaging and insightful evening!
