Speaking

I'm a passionate public speaker with over 4 years speaking experience delivering talks and workshops on entrepreneurship, design and personal development. I lecture at the Northern Regional College and regularly speak as a guest at Ulster University, alongside volunteering for Young Enterprise NI and Generation Innovation to inspire and help young entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland.

I have delivered hundreds of talks and pitches in competitions; to venture capital investors across the world; and in September 2014 I delivered a graduation speech to 2,000 delegates at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.

Testimonials

Here's what my customers have to say:

  • “We invited Kyle to speak at the Northern Ireland launch of Small Business Saturday UK 2015 after reading about his entrepreneurial journey - a great decision. He is a fantastic, fresh and inspiring speaker and captivated the room for the time he was speaking. We also recently filmed an interview with him and he was a complete professional - easy to work with, calm and a really nice guy to be around. We would highly recommend Kyle for any event and hope to continue working with him!”

  • “Kyle is a brilliant speaker - knowledgable, vibrant and passionate - and was a huge hit when he spoke at CultureTECH in 2014 and more recently at the Digital Derry conference. He was the one speaker that the other presenters mentioned to us after the event, which is always a good sign. We can’t wait to have him back again this year to share more of his experiences.”

  • "NORIBIC have had the pleasure of having Kyle speak at our Watify Sessions and more recently the Digital Derry Conference. Ranging from small audiences of 30 to audiences of over 150 delegates, each time he has delivered in spades!

    Kyle articulates his journey as a tech entrepreneur on the start-up rollercoaster in an informative and engaging manner. His style of sharing his lessons learned from starting up, pitching and overcoming the associated doubts and challenges faced by all entrepreneurs is welcomed by delegates and has led to high audience interaction and Q&A."

  • "We invited Kyle to facilitate our Belfast Entrepreneurs Network in May where he shared his journey to success with his business Get Invited. Kyle’s presentation, content and delivery were brilliant, and his openness and honesty about the ups and downs of starting his business was engaging and refreshing. The feedback from attendees was excellent, most commenting on how inspirational and motivational Kyle was."

  • "Kyle has spoken at two of our events. Firstly, he took to the stage at CREATE:2014, an event for CultureTECH organised by six of NISP CONNECT’s Generation Innovation interns. Kyle was a huge hit and it was a tough audience – 350 teenagers – his personal story of setting up a successful startup business was inspiring for the young people, who could see that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

    Kyle later brought his stories of starting out to a NISP CONNECT Frameworks Workshop for entrepreneurs and ‘wantrepreneurs’ - firsthand testimony such as this is invaluable for anyone building a new venture."
