Award-winning International TEDx speaker and coach

Find Something

<h1>Hi. I'm Bev Hepting</h1>
An award-winning, International, TEDx speaker, and coach.
I have always been a chatterbox.   So much so that many people said I could speak for England and win a gold medal.
However, as I got older I realised that I was opening my mouth and words would come out, but they had no meaning to the people I was talking too.   I did not really know what it was I wanted to say.
It was then I realised that talking was just the stuff that came out of my mouth when the brain had disengaged.
I needed to speak.  I needed to learn how to craft what I wanted to say so that people heard me and acted on the information I gave them.
<h2>Once I had figured that out, everything changed. I started winning competitions. I started building a bigger business and I learned that I could change the way I spoke to get new clients and speaking gigs.</h2>
And the trick is really easy.  It is about not being too clever.  It is about having the confidence to just say what it is.
From my background in Theatre, Teaching voice and speech to adults, winning speech competitions, and speaking at a variety of events, along with my experience of working with community leaders, project management and helping fundraisers get the message right to attract sponsors, I learned that business relies on getting a clear message to the customer or client you work with.  I also learned that many people just did not know how to do that.
<h1>That's when The Message Maestro was born.</h1>
I started talking to people about what it was they really wanted to say to people.  When networking I realised people would give a great job title and job description, but I still didn’t know what they did.  The problem we have is that we all want people to think we are really clever.  So our message gets complicated and we forget that our potential clients or customers do not understand the language we use in our own industry.
I started working with business owners who suddenly found a great way to talk about their business.  It resonated with their future clients and customers and suddenly they were not afraid to get up and talk in public to groups of people.
It suddenly became fun to talk about their business.
<h2>And me!</h2>
I continue speaking to groups.  They have became bigger as my business has grown.  People now pay me to speak and I speak on the international stage.   My story telling skills enabled me to do a TedX and I continue to build my speaking business as well as coaching more business owners how to speak to grow their business.

Serial entrepreneur and innovation director across multiple verticals, with a technology and sector agnostic approach to consulting. Currently consulting to various ventures ie Medtech, CPG, FMCG, Fintech, Adtech, HeathTech etc

Having been deeply immersed in the Startup / SME EcoSystem for approximately 25 years, in 2 distinct sectors and countries with various business models. Providing both product / services for b2b and b2b segments has allowed me to gain a solid amount of diverse knowledge and understanding.
This entrepreneurial experience also allowed to gain insights of the innovation value chain and operational requirements of building / scaling ventures, for product market fit. The critical component of fundraising through various mechanisms, is an area that I understand well, having bootstrapped businesses and then raised circa 3m Euros across angel, Venture Capital and the European Development Fund (EDF).
The full spectrum of the fund-raising process was arguably the most challenging aspect of venture building for a multitude of reasons and it was a definite grind to get it done. Learning to dealing with brutal reality was a crucial part of success and helped test / fortify my resilience and growth mindset.
The last venture Zveetz had a regenerative aspect with a mission to make a dent against sugar pollution and its consequences to people and planet. Working cross functionally with a stellar team of individuals including food and behavioural scientists to deliver an impactful value proposition was highly rewarding. The business model was multifaceted with transactional, subscription and asymmetrical revenue streams. We were able to move the needle on sugar reduction and enabled people to be more sugar smart, thereby hitting multiple impact and revenue KPI’s.
Previously to that, I had the privilege of deep diving into the world of AI, machine learning &amp; ontologies to build a recommendation engine SaaS for the e-commerce sector, although there were multiple future use cases for the technology. This immersion and venture was very challenging for multiple reasons but ultimately the outcomes were net positive, so the juice was worth the squeeze.
hankfully, I have been able to transition into the role of an Innovation Director and apply skills / experience to provide consultation across the Oxford Innovation ecosystem to various stakeholders.&nbsp;
