Dynamic, intelligent Master of Ceremonies

Andrew Klein is one of the busiest and most sough tafter MC's on the conference circuit in Australia - and yet because he's not a celebrity, you've probably never heard of him!!!

But judging by the comments from his franchise clients, your conference attendees will not be disappointed - and the impact he'll have on your conference will be huge.

If you are looking for a fun, humorous, dynamic and highly experienced professional MC (or some teambuilding activities or Presentation Skills training) for your next franchise conference, Andrew is the man to call on!

About Andrew Klein:

Andrew Klein has been the MC / Facilitator of five National Franchise Conferences for the FCA, as well as for franchise groups including: Red Rooster, Price Attack, Kwik Kopy, AGL retail and Hotondo Homes. And, while he certainly works with lots of franchise clients, Andrew also works widely with countless corporate, government and Association clients as well, including Ernst & Young, Telstra, IBM, Bayer Healthcare, Commonwealth Bank, NSW Health, Minter Ellison, MLC, BT, Wella and Coca-Cola ...just to name a few.

Andrew's in-depth research on each client places him well ahead of many other MC's on the speaker circuit. So too do his revealing and gently satirical speaker introductions, his improvisational skills and his ability to adapt to vastly different audiences.

Such is Andrew's charm, warmth, and talent that many of his clients use him year in / year out to MC their conferences. Indeed, to some, he has become part of their conference "family" - so familiar does he become with the company culture, jargon and personalities. In fact, on countless occasions delegates have told Andrew that they felt he actually worked for the company or was a franchisee or franchisor himself, so good was his knowledge and understanding of their industry, jargon, the key people and so on.

Having MC'd so many franchise conferences (and being a former lawyer with some knowledge of franchising law and practice) Andrew has a pretty good overall understanding of franchising issues and systems in Australia.

Client testimonials

Andrew has just hosted our annual franchisee conference for the 4th year running…and we wouldn’t use anyone else! And it’s not just his ability to MC – which he does brilliantly - but his homework on the speakers and willingness to be involved in activities, to the point where he is now ‘one of us’. His humour (always appropriate to the audience) is also appreciated. Surveys of our franchisees and staff consistently rate him 9 out of 10 (he’d be a 10 but we don’t want him getting a big head!) with one commenting ‘How good is this guy???’ To answer the question – he is good, very good.

Howards Storage World

Once again, the decision to have Andrew MC our National Dealers Conference has paid off in many ways. The delegates’ feedback was better than ever before due mainly to the level of professionalism mixed with humour that Andrew adds to an event. Andrew worked with the management team well in advance to plan the finer details and throughout the 3 day conference spent many hours ensuring the delegates were getting real value for money from their conference. The tone that Andrew set through his expertise allowed us to focus on the real issues facing our group.

AGL Retail Energy

We have now worked with Andrew many times, in fact ever since he had hair!! Over this time, we have been delighted with the professionalism, intellect, humour, passion and energy that he has been able to deliver and engage to the various audiences. Andrew is amazingly quick-witted, can deliver a funny anecdote about the night before and then host a serious business panel with professionalism and enthusiasm. Andrew’s warmth both on and off the stage has seen him adopted by our franchisees and his humour and communication is always tasteful and inclusive of everyone in the room. To get an audience to feel part of one team, have fun, and also deliver key messages, Andrew has proven to be an asset at all of the conferences for which we have worked together.

Hotondo Homes

Andrew, your presentation ‘How To Awe Them Not Bore Them' was just fantastic. You kept me engaged throughout your entire delivery which was very interesting and highly interactive. The points you touched on regarding public speaking were 100% spot on. I have to say your presentation was the best I have witnessed. You were very 'natural' and 'real' - where others try to make it like a formal presentation you made it look like you were talking to a group of friends and we were absorbing every minute of it.

Westpac Banking Corporation

Definitely the most engaging, informative and helpful presentations skills session I have attended! Andrew's presentation was hugely entertaining, fun, and packed with practical tips on how we can become more effective communicators and presenters. Importantly, Andrew understood our business and the key issues we face in presenting information to our clients and tailored the session to focus on the key things that can really help us. I have attended several presentation skills courses in the past, but this is one which has actually already made a difference to the quality of my presentations!
