Book Will Smith for speaking, facilitation and leadership events.
Practical, grounded and challenging sessions for business leaders, teams, churches and values led communities.
Not a hype speaker.
A thinking partner.
Will speaks to business leaders, churches and values led communities. His sessions are practical, human and direct. People leave with language for what they are carrying and a clearer next step, not just a feeling.

What organisers and audiences can expect.
Every session is built around useful takeaways. People leave with language for what they are carrying and a clearer next step, not just a feeling.
Will has a gift for naming what people are feeling but have not yet been able to articulate. He connects with a room and tells the truth.
Will takes time to understand the audience, the context and the outcome the organiser is working toward before every session.
Will in action.
Grounded in faith. Accessible to everyone.
Will has more than 13 years in church ministry, including senior pastoral leadership, preaching, service hosting and leadership development. He served as Lead Pastor of Connect Church from 2016 to 2024.
His faith based speaking is biblically grounded and practically delivered. Equally at home in a large church service, a leadership team day or an intimate ministry gathering.
Experience across business, faith, community and leadership.
More than fifteen years of experience across coaching, leadership, public speaking and facilitation. His background spans business, pastoral ministry, community building and strategic facilitation.
Insight that lands. Clarity that sticks.
"From our first meeting, Will met me with compassion. He helped me rediscover my story, align my values and strengths, and turn these into everyday practice. He shone light on areas where I was stuck, while helping me have a good laugh at myself. I am grateful for my coach and friend, Will."
"Will consistently challenged me to step back, assess the broader picture, and develop a clear strategic roadmap instead of simply managing an ongoing list of tasks. His approach is practical. Not abstract theory. Structured, actionable, and adapted to real conditions."
