FAQs
For any questions, please read through the below and feel free to contact me with any other questions.
How can Isaac be booked?
Please contact Isaac using this contact form for a quote and availability. If you have seen me on a speaking agency website, please enquire directly with the speaking agency.
What makes Isaac stand out?
An “IS NOW” rather than a “has been” -> many bookers get frustrated with hearing the “has been” same old stories over and over again. What makes Isaac different is Isaac is actively doing the experiences he talks about and that makes him an "is now" rather than a "has been" which is far more engaging and exciting for an audience.
Team Building Expertise as an Adventurer -> Most adventurers you will hear about are solo, Isaac not only assembles teams to overcome adverse challenges in the most extreme environments but also works with teams to fully fund the expeditions from sponsorship and overfund for charity. Isaac can share this expertise in a unique way that many people can't through adventures he has team led.
Versatile Speaker -> Did you know Isaac sits at the forefront of a unique triad of outdoor adventure, sustainability and mental health? He is able to speak on three topics separately or combined, unlike the other speakers. My youth, record-breaking accomplishments, and fusion of outdoor adventure, sustainability, and mental health have made me an unparalleled force in the world of keynote speaking.
Young age -> As under 30 years of age, Isaac is one of the youngest international keynote speakers on the market and very relatable to early career starters in companies. At a young age, Isaac holds many world records and world-first adventure and endurance success stories which in the outdoor industry is rare at such an age. Isaac is often booked because of how well he resonates with younger employees who team-builders are focussed on nurturing. It is easier to speak with someone of a similar age and Isaac fits the 20-40 category well.
Mental Health Expertise -> I have stood out among others in the well-being space. Audiences resonate with my lived experiences, making my message compelling and engaging. As an expert in improving well-being and fostering mental health, I share valuable strategies, tools, and experiences in intimate settings. You can catch a glimpse of my knowledge by watching my TED talk and exploring the guide I've prepared on disconnecting to reconnect.
Sustainability Leadership Expertise -> In 2021 Isaac co-founded a B Corporation called Climate Explorers CIC which works to inspire and provide tools to enable environmentally friendly behaviour change and share climate solutions, in order to build a global community that is resilient and adaptable to the degrading three pillars of climate, biodiversity and human well-being, and actively works together to restore them. In Isaac’s journey as the CEO and founder of this purposeful organisation, he has learnt a thing or two about sustainability leadership and is able to share these lessons with companies/organisations who are actively working on embedding ESG principles in their organisational culture through engaging teams in this area.
Do you give Pro-bono talks to charities and schools?
Due to demand and existing charity and school commitments, I’m only able to give a limited number of free talks each year for charity and discounted rates for the school’s special events. Best to ask me as soon as you can, please get in touch.
What is Isaac’s availability?
It is recommended to request Isaac’s services with as much advance notice as possible. This will not only allow him time to adjust his emergency room schedule and other obligations but also result in lower airfare and hotel costs (expenses).
The timing is not right at the moment, but later we may have an opportunity for a speaker
While priorities and circumstances can shift, I want to emphasize the value and impact a keynote speaker like myself can bring to your organization. If the timing becomes more favourable, I would be thrilled to discuss the details and customize a speaking engagement tailored to your event objectives. You can subscribe to my mailing list to stay informed in the meantime here.
I don’t have the budget this year
Often, companies express concerns about budget limitations, but it's crucial to consider that the cost of continuous staff churn and disengagement far exceeds the investment in my services. By improving talent retention and boosting employee engagement, my talks ultimately save money that would otherwise be lost. It is a no-brainer.
We have internal speakers and training programs already in place
Whilst this may be the case in the past I have worked with bookers in this position because I complemented their existing initiatives by providing a fresh perspective, unique expertise, and an external voice.
MY TEAM IS ALREADY HIGH-PERFORMING
High-Perfoming Teams always need work and Isaac often hears from team leaders that their team is already high-performing are not in need of team-building service. Well, in order to maintain status at a high-performance level a team needs to actively keep working on team-building all the time and that is where Isaac can come in to help.
