Professional Speaking

[/vc_column]

Looking for an entertaining and informative (not to mention highly caffeinated) professional business speaker to help your audience learn how to get the most from LinkedIn or networking? Then look no further than “The Linked In Man” … that’s me, James Potter.

I deliver inspirational, knowledgeable and engaging talks based on my unique understanding of online and face to face networking. With the help of some humour and charm, I help audiences to understand “how the magic happens” so they can build success using their network, relationships and LinkedIn.

I have spoken to audiences ranging from thousands to small groups in numerous countries around the world, and in a wide range of industries. Among the organisations I have given talks for are HSBC, IBM, as well as professional bodies like the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), techUK and a wide range of business shows.

Whatever your needs are I can tailor a bespoke session that will engage, motivate and challenge your people and help them build successful commercial relationships.

I was introduced to James Potter by a mutual connection, Nicole Bachmann, as I wanted to run a LinkedIn masterclass for the Business Junction membership. James proved to be the perfect LinkedIn expert and his 2 hour presentation, accompanied by fantastic visuals, went down a storm. He is extremely informed on the subject, and his engaging and entertaining delivery kept us all enthralled as he opened up the inner workings of LinkedIn. We were all using the LinkedIn platform already but learnt so much about improving our experience and outcomes. He took dozens of questions afterwards and also sent his slide deck for circulation afterwards. I would highly recommend using him to help you better understand and contribute on LinkedIn.

James spoke at a conference I attended and we have subsequently connected and discussed all things Linkedin. He is an incredibly engaging speaker with great energy and a plethora of interesting tips on how to get the most out of Linkedin. I would highly recommend him as a conference speaker and also as someone who genuinely wants to assist others with developing their networks.

“James delivered an outstanding session at our eCommerce Forum. James’ insights into LinkedIn were not only actionable but imperative to know in business in 2025. Attendees walked away equipped with practical tools they could implement immediately in their businesses. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, and many cited James as a highlight of the event. We’re grateful for his contribution and would highly recommend James for any future events”.

James delivered a webinar for my mentees, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. James brought a perfect blend of insight, enthusiasm, and humour that made the session not only highly valuable but genuinely enjoyable. My mentees came away with a clear and practical strategy for engaging with their network on LinkedIn. Many have already seen a significant impact on their ability to raise finance and grow their property businesses. A testament to the power of the tools and tips James shared. What sets James apart is not just his deep knowledge of LinkedIn, but his authentic passion for helping people connect meaningfully. He truly understands that business is about people and relationships, and he teaches that in a way that sticks. If you’re looking for someone who can transform how you use LinkedIn with clarity, energy, and a good dose of humour, James is world class.

James basically knows his stuff about LinkedIn. He recently spoke at an event that I help organise – there were so many questions from the floor and the feedback we received was great. James made it fun and didn’t make you feel stupid for asking any question at all. If you need help within your business utilising LI then get in touch with James.

If you are reading this, then one thing I can confirm is that you have found the right person. James brings his immense knowledge of LinkedIn in a practical and easy manner. His style is superb, blending humour with education that motivates you to just how important this platform is in a business environment. Whether you looking for an increase in sales or just to increase your personal branding, with no hesitation you should be picking up the phone to him now.

I first encountered James at the E-Commerce SW event. What was I expecting from his talk? Certainly not to be entertained, that’s for sure. James had his packed audience rolling in the aisles as he delivered what has to be the funniest and most educational talk I have ever attended. Sharp as a razor and hugely knowledgeable, James demonstrated his expertise beyond doubt.

I hired James to deliver a presentation to a group of brokers on how to make the most of LinkedIn, focussing specifically on how to use it to generate new clients and revenue. James is both entertaining, engaging and motivational as a speaker – I would happily use him again should the occasion arise!

As a professional speaker myself, I know what it takes to engage and motivate an audience – and James did this effortlessly. Not only is he a mesmerisingly good speaker – he is also a thoroughly nice chap with a generous attitude to business.

I first met James some six years ago and have got to know and respect him. When we needed a key note speaker for one of our business briefings James was an obvious choice and he got rave reviews from all who attended the event.
