Roy Sheppard

Roy Sheppard is a specialist conference facilitator/moderator, an experienced speaker and the author of eight books. Roy works on high-profile conferences for some of the world’s largest and most respected organisations.

 

Roy isn’t an expensive ‘celebrity’ so you may not have heard of him, however, Roy is renowned within the conference industry for being a world-class MC, facilitator, keynote speaker, workshop and seminar speaker.

 

As a former BBC TV reporter who can also film and edit interviews on-site. If asked, he is also happy to coach your team to improve their presentations – all this for just ONE inclusive fee.

 

The alternative is a lot more expensive and involves far more time to organise different speakers and trainers for each of these skills and activities. In many cases when purchased separately they become unaffordable. But not when you book Roy for your conference.

More About

Expert High-Stakes, Small, and Large Meeting Facilitation

No matter why you are holding a small or large meeting that includes genuine discussion and dialogue, it often pays to bring in a well-briefed, experienced external facilitator like Roy to keep everyone focused and moving forward towards a common goal. When the stakes are high – Roy can be trusted to deliver. For those meetings where there’s an ‘elephant in the room’ that needs ‘managing’.
So, if you have a meeting or conference which may (or should) include some ‘difficult’ conversations, but you or your senior team are afraid to address them, Roy can help you. And then guide everyone during the event. Roy has worked on conferences and meetings that were highly-charged – such as mass redundancies, hostile mergers and other ‘bad news’ scenarios.
Roy Sheppard has also facilitated countless ‘deep-dive’ corporate, not-for-profit, public-sector and medical advisory boards.

High-Stakes Advisory Boards for Small, Senior Executive Groups

Roy has many years’ experience chairing complex medical and technology advisory boards for global corporations.
“I have met, and experienced, Roy on numerous occasions over the years. He has moderated our HP Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) NonStop Customer Council, a gathering of C-Level executives of our most important HP NonStop EMEA Customers, where Roy was the facilitator. This meeting serves as an important evaluation of hte business relationship HP NonStop has with these customers; positive as well as negative, and always highly sensitive information gets discussed at this, at times, highly charged meeting.
Roy’s role as facilitator requires him to be sensitive to the issues being presented, add himself in when the meeting is heading into a dead-end, and equally important, he knows when to be quiet and let things flow.
His personality and professionalism put the organisers at ease, and creates excitement in, and for, the audience, wondering what he will do or say next!” – Mike Hurst, Director, Global Field Marketing/Business Development, HP

Testimonials

I attended Roy’s session about Reputation Management during the ICCA Congress in Leipzig. Roy’s presentation was fantastic, very hands-on, very engaging and interactive. Not only were the topics so well presented that a listener can immediately implement new ideas for himself, but the content was so well transmitted that the audiences was kept on their toes all the time. I would be looking forward to attending more sessions held by Roy, I can only recommend him as a speaker!
Verena Jandak, CMP, Marketing Manager, Vienna Convention Bureau

Roy’s presentation to my team was exceptional and hugely thought provoking. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Tim Farazmand, Managing Director at Lloyds Development Capital

Roy has worked as a moderator [facilitator] for large events and smaller executive events. Roy works well with an international audience demonstrating professionalism, enthusiasm and respect. He is particularly good at encouraging full involvement and engagement from all.
Neil Pringle – NonStop Director, EMEA, HP

Roy has helped us to develop the speaking, presentation and moderation skills of many of our staff and customers, across a wide range of abilities and experience. His stimulating approach is always well received, giving plenty of practical pearls on how to present effectively,  the importance of messaging, and dealing with the unexpected. Most importantly, Roy’s techniques to build confidence and deal with the common issue of nerves has been extremely helpful to us. Overall, we have seen a significant improvement in the quality of our presenters, as reflected in the evaluations of their own audiences.

Delegate feedback

We were looking for a moderator/facilitator for the opening and closing ceremonies of our annual conference but Roy delivered so much more. His professionalism and very British sense of humour transformed our conventionally stiff events into entertaining, interactive shows – exactly what was needed to get things off the ground. By generating a lively atmosphere in an audience of over 6000 people, he succeeded in connecting people who might not otherwise have met each other and left a lasting impression with all of us. If you have ever the chance to work with him – do it! We look forward to planning our 2016 conference together with Roy. We’ve booked and then rebooked 3 times so far!
Andreas Felser, Executive Director EANM, Vienna.

I would urge you to book Roy as a facilitator or a guest speaker or simply to motivate your staff! His energy for his topics is superb, he is so enthusiastic it is infectious and I have always left his presentations feeling motivated and ready to implement new ideas or strategies! Always professional, always on time, always within the event brief and always exceeding expectations!
Amanda Davey, Head of Events, Institute and Faculty of Actuaries UK.

Roy brings a fantastic energy with him and has the ability to engage all of the audience and encapsulate their thoughts in a humorous manner e.g “they are all thinking it but are afraid to say. I would recommend Roy for any conference event which is to do with achieving better business results.
Gordon Duncan, Regional Development Director at Marsh Ltd
