Introduction
It’s not hard to see that finding the right public speaker matters. It’s not just about grabbing the mic. It’s about having someone who can hold a room, get people listening, and actually say something that sticks.

Why a Public Speaker Can Be a Total Game-Changer
They don’t just talk — they change how you see things.
A good public speaker does more than share words. They get people thinking. They challenge old ideas. They help you look at things differently. It’s not about slides or fancy language — it’s about leaving the room with your head full of fresh ideas.
Here’s how we look at it: you could read a stack of books, or you could spend an hour with a public speaker who’s lived those lessons, learned what works, and passes that on in a way that sticks. You leave ready to do something with it.
We’ve watched people walk out of talks ready to start new projects, make real changes at work, or even just feel clear about where they’re headed. That’s what a solid public speaker brings to the table.
They Bring People Together
Ever been to an event where everyone’s just… present, not participating? Yeah, nah. That’s not how we do it.
When a public speaker connects with an audience, magic happens. Shared laughs, collective ‘aha!’ moments—suddenly you’ve got alignment, motivation, and a real sense of community.
They Make It Stick
There’s a science to retention. You forget most of what you hear… unless it’s told with a story, backed by a bold truth, or wrapped in a joke that hits home. That’s the power of great public speaking. It’s not just heard—it’s remembered.
What Makes an Exceptional Public Speaker (Especially in Perth)
Authenticity Over Perfection
In Perth, people can tell when someone’s putting it on. The speakers that stick with you aren’t always the smooth, polished ones — they’re the real people with real stories and lessons they’ve actually lived.
At Nathan Baws, we reckon it’s better to skip the script now and then and just be honest. A good public speaker speaks from experience. People can tell when it’s real.
Energy That Fills a Room
A great talk should never feel like a lecture. It’s theatre. It’s electric. And when the speaker has high energy and passion for their message, the room shifts. The yawns stop. The eyes light up.
We’re not saying every speech needs fireworks, but we are saying the right delivery style keeps everyone hanging on your next sentence.
Relevance to the Audience
It’s never just about what we want to say. It’s about what your group needs to hear. A good public speaker knows how to shape the message so it fits the room. Doesn’t matter if it’s tradies, teachers, or tech folks — it’s about speaking their language.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all talks. Every time we step in as a public speaker, the message is built around the people in front of us.
Real-Life Examples of Public Speaking That Changed the Game
A Local Perth Business That Tripled Sales
We once delivered a keynote to a team that had been flatlining for months. Sales were stagnant. Staff felt uninspired.
After a single session focused on mindset, storytelling, and purpose, the business owner called us a month later. Sales were up 30%. Six months in, they’d nearly tripled.
It wasn’t just the strategies—it was the shift in belief and clarity.
A School Principal’s Leadership Turnaround
Public speaking isn’t just for boardrooms. A school principal in WA came to us struggling to inspire her staff during post-COVID burnout.
We gave a half-day workshop. She later told us, “That talk didn’t just give me ideas—it gave me fire.”
Now, her staffroom is buzzing, teacher retention is up, and she’s become a speaker herself.
Mental Health Advocacy That Hits Home
At one of our favourite community gigs, we had a room of FIFO workers in tears (the good kind). We weren’t lecturing about wellbeing. We shared raw stories, practical tools, and a few cheeky jokes to lighten the load.
That night, five blokes reached out for help. That’s the real win.
How to Choose the Right Public Speaker in Perth
Know Your Outcome
Before you pick a speaker, ask: what’s the result I want from this talk? Is it inspiration? Education? Entertainment? Team bonding?
A good public speaker can hit multiple goals—but a clear brief makes it sharper.
Check Their Track Record
Anyone can call themselves a public speaker. But a great one has runs on the board. Ask for past gigs, audience feedback, or even a quick sample of their style.
At Nathan Baws, we’re always happy to send through highlights and testimonials—we’ve got nothing to hide.
Find a Personality Match
Energy matters. If your team loves a relaxed, funny tone—we’re your crew. If you need someone to fire up the corporate crowd with punchy takeaways—we’ve got that covered too.
Match the vibe, and the impact multiplies.
The Secret Sauce: Humour, Heart and a Whole Lotta Aussie Vibes
Laughter Opens Minds
We’re not stand-up comedians, but we do know how to make people laugh. And laughter? It breaks down walls, boosts attention, and helps people relax into learning.
Honesty Builds Trust
We share the wins, but we’re also real about the stuff that went pear-shaped. People respect speakers who’ve walked the walk—and stumbled a few times along the way.
When we’re honest, people lean in. And that’s where growth starts.
Aussie Slang Optional—but Effective
Let’s face it—we speak a different kind of English here in WA. So, when a speaker sounds like us, it’s easier to connect.
We keep things local, relatable, and real. No wanky buzzwords, just good yarns and better insights.
Why Perth Needs More Public Speakers Now Than Ever
A City on the Move
Perth’s evolving fast—from mining hubs to tech startups to booming creative scenes. With that change comes opportunity—and challenges. Public speaking helps unite ideas, inspire teams, and foster leadership in this exciting growth period.
Post-Pandemic Connection
Let’s be honest — all those Zoom calls wore people out. Being back together in the same room changes things. Having a live public speaker there makes it real. It’s not just people sitting and listening — it’s proper connection, energy in the space, and everyone actually tuning in.
Building a Stronger, Smarter WA
It doesn’t matter if it’s a school, a sports club, or a business — having the right public speaker brings people together. It’s not just about the talk. It’s about getting people thinking, having honest conversations, and walking away with something real.
Nathan Baws — Talks That Make a Difference
Talks Built for Your Crowd
Every event’s different. We don’t believe in pre-written talks. When Nathan steps up as a public speaker, the message is shaped around your group, your goals, and what matters to your people. Whether it’s a work team that needs a lift or a community event that needs energy — that’s where we come in.
Workshops That Stick With You
Sometimes, people need more than a talk. Our workshops help your team get involved, challenge how they think, and take away ideas they can actually use. It’s not just feel-good stuff — it’s practical, it lasts.
Helping the Next Voices Be Heard
We also help people who want to grow as a public speaker themselves. If you’ve got a story — and everyone’s got one — we help you shape it so people listen, connect, and remember it.
Why It Counts
A strong public speaker doesn’t just stand there and talk. They change the whole room. They help people look at things in a new way. They give teams a bit of spark. Sometimes that one talk is enough to shift how people feel — at work, in the club, or wherever your group comes together.
That’s what we’re about at Nathan Baws. We believe in honest stories, proper connection, and giving people something real to take with them.Want a public speaker who gets Perth? Visit nathanbaws.com and let’s chat about how we can help make your next event one people actually remember.
