About the Guest
For more than 31 years, John Young presented and reported the TV news on the BBC.
He’s now distilled the energy and stories of career in a TV newsroom into a range of fascinating keynotes and lively consultancy workshops, delivered online or in person — helping businesses get to grips with the online world.
They reveal in jaw-dropping detail how knife-edge TV News production can be. But John doesn’t just bask in the audience’s fascination. He makes it relevant, with key business messages about pivoting skills, crystal clear communication (down a lens as well as face to face), time management, leadership, self-awareness and courage. There’s no theory — they’re all based on his adventures on the front-line of daily news reporting and presenting at the world’s most respected broadcaster.
They’re a fascinating insight into how the media actually works. And in age of Zoom and Teams Meetings, they also give a great insight into how to work most effectively whilst communicating via a laptop.
After all, as John often says, “we’re all broadcasters now.”
John’s clients include EasyJet, American Express, Gatwick Airport, the international CEO network Vistage, the English Rugby Football Union and several local authorities — he has also delivered his workshops and talks as a Guest Speaker to passengers on board Cunard’s flagship, the Queen Mary 2. He is a senior member of the Professional Speaking Association.
John joined the BBC from Cambridge University as one of 12 news trainees in 1989. This provided him with two years’ training in BBC editorial standards, before choosing his own path as a news reporter and presenter in Southampton, Belfast, Truro, Newcastle, Bristol, Brighton and on the BBC's News Channel.
In 2009, John was selected for a year’s secondment as a Trainer of incoming journalists at the BBC Academy. In 2013, he set up his consultancy business, John Young Media, running it alongside his BBC work until he left the Corporation in October 2020.
John uses income from his professional clients to subsidise employability skills workshops for young people who are not in formal education or training.
