"Graeme's performance at our recent black tie event during Cox Plate week was simply sensational. His portrayal of a leading American racing identity was riveting and hysterical. The general feeling was that Graeme's speech was one of the funniest things they had ever heard."

Presentation Summary
 
Master of Ceremonies & Facilitator

Graeme Bowman is highly regarded as a Master of Ceremonies and Facilitator for conferences, product launches, awards presentations and special events. It's all about helping you achieve the business goals you've set for the event, while keeping your people awake, engaged and focused. From facilitating serious discussions about controversial issues, or running one of his Better Business Workshops, right through to serving as a light-hearted MC at a Gala Dinner, Graeme has what it takes to get results.

A big key to Graeme's success is his ability to switch from funny to formal and back again, as the mood and nature of the event requires. For example, at a Gala Dinner or Awards Night, his first appearance is often in a crumpled shirt and shorts, as David Attenborough's long lost brother, Bruce, who delivers a hilarious routine about the evolution of your organisation. He may then launch into a rock song also tailored to your audience.

But a few minutes later, Graeme is back on stage, dressed in a suit. Most importantly, he treats the formal part of his MC role with restraint. This means that if he is introducing a VIP, he does it respectfully. And if he has a role to play during an awards presentation, he knows that the award winners are the heroes. (The last thing you want at this time is an MC who makes fun of the winners or sponsors.)

Clients who want extra comedy also get great value from Graeme's routine, 'Stuck in the Middle'.

By the way, a hoax speech can be combined with a Master of Ceremonies role, to create a Hoax MC.

At a lengthy conference, what people need most, in between business presentations, is a mental or physical breather. Graeme can provide that through short humorous routines and stretch breaks. For such conferences, Graeme can also:
  • Help you design an engaging agenda
  • Weave together the event's various themes and messages
  • Manage a panel discussion or open forum
  • Interview senior executives on stage
  • Extract inspiring case studies from audience members
  • Facilitate a Six Thinking Hats, Lateral Thinking or Better Business Workshop.

To see how controversial or sensitive issues can be raised in a quirky, humorous manner, check out Graeme's Devil's Advocate Characters.

Also, when appearing in the role of MC or Facilitator, particularly at a long conference, Graeme is often asked to contribute in other areas eg as a Speech Writer, Presentation Skills Coach or Keynote Speaker delivering ‘How to Suck Great Ideas out of Your Head'.
