Seller avatar for Cran Middlecoat - That Pilot Guy
4.8 (51)
ServesCanberra
I bring a unique perspective to corporate speaking and motivation by blending real-life experiences from my aviation career — including the loss of my airline pilot career due to cystic brain disease — with powerful lessons in resilience, leadership, and navigating adversity. What sets me apart is my ability to take audiences on an emotional journey: one that’s inspiring, entertaining, and deeply practical. My storytelling is real, raw, and delivered with humour — I make people laugh, think, and reflect. I don’t talk about perfection — I focus on progress. I give audiences the tools they need to face challenges with confidence, embrace setbacks as part of growth, and move forward with clarity and purpose. My message is simple: no matter how turbulent life gets, it’s how you respond that defines your path forward.

Kate Lalak is the Founder and Principal Consultant of The Engine Room — a bespoke sales and leadership consultancy that helps businesses build high-performing teams, strengthen customer relationships, and drive more profitable growth through better communication, leadership and commercial capability. With more than 25 years of experience across sales, leadership, customer experience and commercial strategy, Kate has delivered more than 1,250 workshops, keynotes and development programs for over 700 businesses across Australia and internationally. The Engine Room works with organisations that want practical results and real behavioural change - not generic, off-the-shelf training that teams struggle to implement once the session ends. Our experience spans: • Building, trades, construction and B2B services. • Financial services and insurance. • Real estate and property. • Professional services. • Retail and luxury retail. • Technology and SaaS. • Manufacturing, wholesale and supply chain. • Automotive and dealership networks. • Health, wellness and service-based businesses. Clients include Salesforce, Microsoft, FUJIFILM, CAMILLA, Colliers, Fernwood Fitness, Toby’s Estate, Morningstar, CNW Electrical, Intertek, H&R Block, HubSpot, KB Seafood, CJ Duncan builders, Volkswagen, Genea and many more. Before founding The Engine Room, Kate spent 17 years in senior corporate leadership roles across sales, sponsorship, marketing and customer growth. Over the last 8 years, she has built two award-winning businesses while working directly with owners, leaders and teams navigating the real pressures of growth, conversion, retention, leadership and performance. Kate is also the author of The Human Side of Sales, a regular media spokesperson across television, radio, podcasts and print media, and a longstanding judge for the Australian Small Business Champion Awards. What makes The Engine Room different is the level of strategy, preparation and tailoring behind every program. No business receives generic content. Before every keynote, workshop or leadership program, significant time is invested understanding the business, audience, customer dynamics, challenges and commercial goals. That preparation allows every session to feel highly relevant, practical and immediately applicable to the people in the room. The sessions are designed to be practical, engaging and highly interactive, using a combination of: • Group discussion and collaboration. • Pair activities and live conversation practice. • Individual reflection and planning. • Real business examples and customer scenarios. • Interactive exercises and workshop activities. • Practical tools and frameworks built during the session itself. Clients consistently engage The Engine Room because the programs are: • Tailored specifically to the business and industry. • Commercially focused and highly practical. • Interactive, engaging and immediately actionable. • Built around real business conversations and challenges. • Designed to shift behaviours and performance long after the session ends. • Focused on creating tools, language and frameworks teams can use immediately. • Delivered with a balance of strategy, psychology and real-world business experience. Programs are delivered nationally both online and in person through keynotes, workshops, leadership programs and multi-session development series. Whether working with business owners, executive leadership teams, sales professionals or frontline staff, the focus is always the same: Helping businesses strengthen performance through better communication, stronger leadership and more commercially effective teams.

TEDx speaker and professional mentalist helping teams handle change, uncertainty and pressure | 1,000+ events, 100+ five-star reviews. Andy Nunn helps organisations prepare their people for change, uncertainty and the future of work. Blending live mentalism, humour and behavioural science, Andy shows audiences how quickly the mind fills in gaps, makes assumptions, misses information and reacts under pressure. His keynotes are not lectures about change. They are interactive experiences where people see their own thinking patterns play out in real time. This makes Andy a strong fit for organisations navigating AI disruption, transformation, restructuring, growth, new ways of working, or periods of uncertainty. His signature keynotes include Mind The Gap, which explores the space between stimulus and response, and Wonderfully Uncomfortable, which helps teams handle uncertainty, challenge old patterns and act with more clarity when the path ahead is unclear. Audiences leave with practical tools to think more clearly, question assumptions earlier, communicate with more influence and stay composed when change feels uncomfortable. Book Andy if you want more than a motivational talk. You want a keynote that helps people see uncertainty differently and gives them a practical way to move through it.
