Nigel Risner Biography

Nigel Risner isn’t just a motivational speaker – he is a company turnaround specialist and peak performance expert who drives individuals ranging from CEOs to school children to ignite excitement and action in their lives. With over 25 years of experience, Risner has shared his techniques and tools to break through the boundaries we put up around us. His always animated and interactive presentations have inspired thousands, including FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 delegates, school children, charities, and prison inmates, in groups ranging from five to 5000 and in more than 50 countries. He shares the techniques and tools needed to gain an advantage in our competitive world, having proven the power of these techniques in his own career. At only 26 years old, he ran a successful finance company as one of the youngest CEOs in the City of London.

Risner is the only motivational speaker in Europe to have been awarded Speaker of the Year from major CEO groups including The Academy For Chief Executives, Vistage, Footdown, and The Executive Committee. Additionally, he is a respected author, television presenter, and prolific speaker, having authored influential books like "The Impact Code" and "It’s a Zoo Around Here," the latter being a multiple-time number one Amazon bestseller. His highly popular keynote "It’s a Zoo Around Here – Communication is King" can be tailored for diverse audiences, either as a keynote or a workshop, emphasizing workplace communication dynamics.

Risner's workshops and keynote speeches are results–oriented and challenge his listeners to expand their horizons, embrace the opportunities that await them, and dare to dream of achievements which seemed impossible before. His clients include high-profile companies such as Pepsi Cola, Compaq, British Airways, Pfizer, Marks and Spencer, and Royal Bank of Scotland. He conducts over 150 motivational seminars and corporate speaking engagements a year across Britain and internationally, focusing on key topics such as Communication, High Performance, Human Resources, Motivation, and Self-Insight. He is one of only six speakers in the UK to have been awarded the highly prestigious PSAE (Professional Speaking Award of Excellence) from the Professional Speakers Association.
