Having spoken to more than 1.5million people worldwide, Nigel developed a model around how people fall into four categories, in terms of their communication style, which he related to animal types.

Whilst there are many other communication models in existence his methodology of Zoo Keeping, and the four core animals types, is not only relatable, but easy to grasp and apply. ZooKeeping is now used in organisations of every size around the world, including the British Police Force and many National Health Trusts.

Nigel’s main philosophies are:

If you are in the room – be in the room!

If you want success – you must learn to be an effective Zoo Keeper.

There are no such things as difficult customers and staff – there are different customers and staff.

Nigel currently speaks approximately100 times a year and provides 1:1 coaching for industry leaders around theWorld.

Testimonial

I’ve been organizing large-scale conferences and events for more years than I care to remember. I can honestly say Nigel Risner is unequivocally the very best speaker I have ever engaged. When I say best I mean BEST; in every respect. He has a powerful personality that commands attention. He has a style of delivery that captures and holds people’s imagination… and spellbound! He has an enormous capacity for wit and the wisdom of Solomon. Nigel Risner doesn’t just deliver an engaging presentation. He does his homework to understand and identify the challenges his audiences face; offering creative and novel solutions to resolve them. I have never engaged the same speaker twice. I’ve engaged Nigel 3 times! Thank you, Nigel and long may you continue to wow audiences around the world!”
