Speaking

Keynotes, workshops and podcasts on influence, authority and the power of publishing.

Raam speaks from the publisher's chair: what happens to a leader's standing when their thinking goes on the record, and what happens when it does not. Audiences describe his talks as engaging, entertaining and educational, and organisers describe the response from the audience.

Speaker reel

Twenty-four seconds from the stage.

A short cut of Raam in front of an audience: the argument, the pace, and the kind of audience he is used to.

Signature engagement

Bring The Authority Forum to your event.

Raam's most requested engagement is not a talk. It is The Authority Forum itself, run in person at your venue, your conference or your seminar: every participant takes the Authority Quotient, and Raam works through the results with them live, from the stage.

Before the dayEvery participant takes the A.Q.

A thirty-minute evaluation that measures a leader's authority two ways: how they rate themselves, and what a stranger can verify. No cost to the participant.

On the dayRaam runs the Forum, live.

The argument, the scores, the patterns across the group, and what each leader should do next, worked through in person rather than delivered from a slide.

After the dayEveryone leaves with a verdict.

A verified score, a detailed report and one specific recommendation for each participant, and an event people describe long after it is over.

For conferences, business conclaves, leadership programs, entrepreneur communities and partner events, scaled to the occasion: a session within a larger program, or a Forum of its own.

Topics

Four talks. Each can be a keynote, a workshop or a conversation.

Book as a Strategy

Most leaders treat a book as a marketing asset, if they think of one at all. Raam's argument is that a book is the strategy document for the next decade of a leader's standing: it decides what they are known for, which doors open, and what their name means when they are not there. This talk lays out Book as a Strategy, B.a.a.S., as a working framework: what to put on the record, in what order, and how to use the finished book in the business, in the market and for the legacy.

For founders, chief executives and the boards and teams around them.

The Power of Publishing

A book does something for a leader that no post, talk, podcast or press mention can: it is complete, it is permanent, it carries their name, and it is the one form of thinking that institutions still take seriously. Drawing on the hundreds of titles the house has published, Raam shows what a book actually does for a leader's standing, and how to write one even if you have never written before, through the interview method Stardom uses.

For conclaves, entrepreneur communities and leadership programs.

Influence and Authority

Influence is what happens while you are present. Authority is what happens after you have left. This talk separates the two, shows why most leaders have plenty of the first and almost none of the second, and lays out how authority is built deliberately: a body of thinking, in your name, where the people who decide can find it and quote it.

For senior executives and professional-services leaders whose reputation is their business.

Leadership Communication in the AI Era

When anyone can generate competent words in seconds, words stop being the scarce thing. The premium moves to insight, to provenance, and to a named point of view that a person is willing to stand behind. This talk is about how leaders communicate now so that people, and the machines that increasingly answer on their behalf, can tell what is theirs, and trust it.

For leadership teams, communicators and boards thinking about what AI changes for reputation.
