John Lees led the Australian and New Zealand operations
of 'Schwarzkopf' to become the most successful for the organisation
worldwide, in terms of market share and profitability.
After 10 years as marketing and sales director with Schwarzkopf,
John Lees was appointed international marketing
consultant for the German multi-national, supervising the
introduction of his advanced marketing, service and sales concepts
to the American, Canadian, British, South African and leading
European markets.
In earlier days, John Lees spent 3 years with
Reckitt & Colman in the UK as a sales rep and key account manager,
and then moved to Australia (to join family) and started again with
Reckitts in Sydney, first in sales representation and then in state

28, as national sales manager of the salon division.
There are some speakers with valuable ideas who cannot deliver their
messages with style, and there are many stylish speakers who have no
new or valuable messages to offer at all. Then there are just a few
special speakers who have important, original messages which they
present in the most inspiring and entertaining ways. John
Lees is recognised as being at the forefront of the '
special group', on an international level.
However, the true advantage with John Lees is that
he is 'one of a kind', someone who can make conferences memorable
and successful, and always relevant and topical. This is not just a
claim, it is a fact, made possible by a unique set of
characteristics: John Lees has a notable background in business, he
is a consultant to progressive organisations, a prolific author of
business books, a creator of numerous business systems... and an
established humorist.
John Lees has the unique ability to mix strong, clean 'business
humour' with a motivational business message. In after dinner
presentations the emphasis is very much more on humour.
With John Lees your audience gets high quality
entertainment and a message to lift their spirits even further! The
after-dinner presentation (or after-breakfast or lunch) can focus on
a sales, management or motivational theme, as you require, however
the evening presentation that John Lees is best known for is ...
"HOW TO AVOID BEING A SUCCESSFUL MISERY"
(any business group - 45 minutes) This presentation suggests that it
is not a good idea to climb the ladder of success, and then find out
too late that the ladder was up against the wrong wall. There are
too many people in business who achieve success and still look as
though they haven't smiled since their honeymoon. The goal for truly
successful people is to enjoy business rather than endure it. This
presentation provides some very humorous insights into the qualities
of well balanced achievers in business.
Professional Conference MC
Being a professional speaker as well as a humorist, John
Lees is able to harness these qualities to perform a highly
effective role as 'Master of Ceremonies' for important conventions.
Controlling proceedings and introducing speakers, John Lees
maintains a high level of entertainment throughout and offers
valuable comments between conference segments.
Additionally, of course, John Lees can be called upon to contribute
key note addresses of his own to help open, close and flavour the
conference as needs dictate.
Conference Facilitator
John Lees is the ideal facilitator at conferences and
meeting workshops, contributing professional control, creative
input, an enjoyable working atmosphere and continuous inspiration
for delegates to give their best. And aside from the facilitation
role, John Lees can provide key note presentations, perhaps an
after-dinner talk and the involvement of meeting MC.
Sales & Management Training Courses (including
consulting involvement) John Lees offers a range of advanced sales
and management training courses which are based on his five books.
John Lees offers conference delegates hope rather than hype, and an
abundance of original ideas delivered in the most motivating and
entertaining fashion.
