Keynote Speaking

The most direct 60 minutes your audience will hear all year.

Punch Average in the Face is the message audiences remember on Monday morning. Book Biggg T as the keynote speaker for your next event.

Why bring Biggg T to your stage

Your audience has heard every version of "believe in yourself" they can stand.

They came to your event hoping something in it would move the needle. Most of the speakers they've heard did not. Most gave the same motivational sound bites, told the same stories about failure and comebacks, and left the room exactly the way they found it. Attendees clapped, then went back to Monday.

That's not what I do.

I'm not here to inspire your audience. Inspiration wears off by Wednesday. I'm here to name the specific voice inside every one of them that has been keeping them average, put language on the excuses that voice uses, and hand them the tools to fight it. When I walk off your stage, your people leave with something they can actually use before their next meeting. That's the promise.

I've been coaching adults through the exact conversation my keynote is built around since 2009. Executives. Business owners. Career-transition professionals. Parents. Athletes. The talk you're bringing to your stage is not theory. It's the distilled version of 17 years of watching people finally admit what they've been afraid to say out loud, and helping them build a life around the answer.

The keynote

Punch Average in the Face

A signature keynote based on the book of the same name

  • Length: 45 to 60 minutes, plus optional Q&A
  • Format: In-person or virtual keynote
  • Audience: Adults ready to hear the truth

The core message

There is a voice inside every one of us that has been keeping us average on purpose. It doesn't sound like a bully. It sounds like good sense. It tells us to be realistic. To wait. To play it safe. And quietly, for years, it's been talking us out of the life we actually want.

What your audience walks away with

  1. A specific vocabulary for the voice that has been running their choices, called the inner bully, and how it hides behind reasonable-sounding excuses.
  2. The You Are Here method, a way to honestly assess where they actually stand right now without flinching.
  3. The Stop Doing and Start Doing framework, which makes change small enough to actually begin on Monday morning.

Customized to your audience

The keynote adapts to your audience. For business owners and executives, we lean into how the inner bully shows up in leadership decisions and business plateaus. For career-transition audiences, we lean into how it shows up when you're standing at a fork in the road. For sales and performance teams, we lean into how it kills momentum right before the close. Same core message, calibrated for your people.

Available formats

The signature keynote is the core offering. Half-day and full-day workshops are also available for organizations that want to take the Punch Average methodology deeper with a smaller group. Workshop pricing and structure are provided upon inquiry.

After the applause

The keynote is 60 minutes. The change is what comes after.

For some of your people, the keynote is exactly the right amount and they'll take it from there. For others, the message will hit hard enough that they want to do the deeper work with me directly.

If that's the case, coaching with me is available for individuals ready to apply the Punch Average methodology to their actual lives. The Bear Hug is a six-week engagement. The Corner is a four-month private partnership.
