Last Saturday he was the last of six speakers, presenting to over 100 people in a warm stuffy room. "Well he certainly woke me up", "I wanted more", "Blew my socks off", were some of the comments I got from people as they clamoured to shake his hand afterwards. Hard hitting, but always with a sense of humour, Phil Cleary comes into his own in front of a room full of people. Pure entertainment yet packed with plenty of food for thought. His unique style captivates people in a way that few people can in these days of quiet politeness and mediocrity. He paints pictures of people, situations and circumstances that draw the audience in. He takes them with him on his journey, and they always keep up. One woman who has a PhD said ' it was wonderful to be taken on such a great intellectual pursuit ...I couldn't remember feeling so alive and switched on mentally for a very long time…' He makes people laugh and cry, strive for more and feel brave. His experiences, as a teacher, a politician and a football coach allow him to tune into an audience, challenge the mental hurdles that they have erected and push through them. People emerge less precious, more aware of how we all interact and have a role in this world and more prepared to accept responsibility for their own decisions and actions. I have never known anyone, after hearing Phil in full flight, who hasn't taken something new, unique or exciting away with them, when they left the room. Jane Ashton - Twin sister of Julie Ramage, who was strangled by her estranged husband in 2003. Julie’s death was the subject of Phil's book - Getting away with murder. - The ball of energy and passion that is legendary VFA hard man and media commentator, Phil Cleary, swept into Pyramid Hill on 14 June as the headline act for the men's health night jointly initiated by Northern District Community Health Service and Pyramid Hill Football Club. Cleary, well-known for his exploits as a player and coach for Coburg and for his dogged campaign to bring an end to the legal defence of provocation following the murder of his sister, took the reins at training and the night air rang with his barked instructions and praise for the efforts of his temporary charges. The men's health night, held during International Men's Health Week, attracted an excellent crowd of sixty men to Mitchell Park to engage with some of the major issues in men's health and well-being. Cleary also picked up on the night's theme of men taking responsibility in his address. He regaled the audience with amusing tales of his days as a VFA player and coach and of his time as an independent member of federal Parliament. As probably the only MP to have his campaign accidentally kick-started by the Truth newspaper, Cleary had the crowd in stitches with anecdotes about his meetings with then Prime Minister, Paul Keating. Cleary returned to two key challenges for men. Firstly, he stressed the need for good men to take responsibility in the roles of dads and mentors for the raising of fine young men and women. Cleary's description of his realisation that his relationship with his kids was the most important thing in his life really struck a chord with his audience. Warming to the theme, Cleary described how his sister's murderer was able to use the defence of provocation to his advantage and his campaign, not only to change the law, but to urge men to take a stand when they see something, they believe is wrong. Admitting an on-field 'hard man' reputation, Cleary said that in fact he didn't like violence and urged men to take responsibility, not only for their own conduct in their relations with others, but also not to condone it where they see it happening. The passion of Cleary's commitment and his courage in taking a stand against the odds won the respect of his audience and his views are certain to have made a mark. Greg Currie - PHIL CLEARY provided an outstanding keynote presentation at our school's curriculum day in March 2005. Phil provided the impetus for the renewal of our school values and mission statement with his evocative and powerful address. Phil is a most inspiring speaker who engaged our staff with a wide range of thought-provoking, real life anecdotes. A feature of his presentation was the way in which Phil enabled our staff to make connections from his presentation with our practical needs. In addition, Phil worked side by side with our staff following his main address, providing very valuable support to our workshop teams. Phil has a unique and wonderful talent for engaging with people. He certainly brought our curriculum day alive. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

After his football career and without the nurturing and supportive environment a sports club can provide Mark became clinically depressed. In 2010 Mark was the subject of media attention when he revealed that he had undergone rehabilitation for long term drug abuse and was suffering from bipolar depression. To cope with this depression he began to heavily use alcohol and drugs of all types. Over time these became fully fledged addictions that took over his life and led to dire consequences; namely the break up of his close relationships, financial ruin, poor physical health and further mental health issues. He lost everything and in one doctor’s opinion was close to death. Fortunately he was persuaded by friends to enter a rehabilitation facility. This turned out to be a successful endeavour and a pivotal time in his life. His mental condition was properly diagnosed and treated and he has been drug free and sober for ten years. Now Mark uses his experience to help others. While experts and statistics can help you understand the ever growing issues of mental health and addiction, Mark’s raw and honest story provides a riveting example of how easy it is to fall and what it takes to successfully come out the other side.

He is a former teacher, VFA/VFL premiership player and coach, and Independent member of the federal parliament – winning former PM Bob Hawke’s seat of Wills at a by-election in 1992 and at the general election in 1993. Phil is a passionate advocator against family violence, and the author of three books; Cleary Independent (1998), Just another little murder (2002) and Getting away with murder (2005). Since the murder of his 25-year-old sister, Vicki, in 1987 Phil has been at the forefront of the campaign to stop violence against women. It’s widely acknowledged that his books, newspaper articles and media commentaries were pivotal to the abolition of the law of provocation in Victoria and changing community attitudes to violence against women. Phil is active in speaking to football clubs, community groups and businesses on how they can play a role in ending violence against women. In July 2016, Phil was appointed to the Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council. Following the recommendations handed down by the Royal Commission into Family Violence, the Victorian Government established the council to advise and consult on the extensive family violence reform agenda in the state. Chaired by former Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty, and comprising of 12 members who all have a lived experience of family violence, Phil has contributed to the work of the council in many significant ways. Phil has played a major role in shaping how Victoria responds, and works to prevent, family violence. The level and type of engagement is unseen in other jurisdictions both in Australia and overseas. ![Phil Cleary](https://www.talkingtalent.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/image-asset.jpeg "Phil Cleary") ## **Speaking and community engagement** ![](https://www.talkingtalent.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tumblr_odexxbduAD1qeblmro1_1280-244x300.jpg) Whilst the anti-violence campaign has become a major part of my life, I did spend 4 years in the federal parliament, 18 years as a player and coach with Coburg in the VFA/VFL, 30 years broadcasting VFA/VFL football, have interviewed a stream of AFL identities – Malthouse, Judd, Brereton, Roos, et al – for the Northern Blues breakfasts and have a regular spot on SEN with Andy Maher and Bob Murphy. I also discussed the McEnroe – Court issue with them and the Sports Grants question. - PHIL CLEARY provided an outstanding keynote presentation at our school's curriculum day in March 2005. Phil provided the impetus for the renewal of our school values and mission statement with his evocative and powerful address. Phil is a most inspiring speaker who engaged our staff with a wide range of thought-provoking, real life anecdotes. A feature of his presentation was the way in which Phil enabled our staff to make connections from his presentation with our practical needs. In addition, Phil worked side by side with our staff following his main address, providing very valuable support to our workshop teams. Phil has a unique and wonderful talent for engaging with people. He certainly brought our curriculum day alive. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. Henry Grossek, Principal, Berwick Lodge Primary School - "What a pleasure it was to have Phil come and speak at our club. As Mansfield Football Netball Club's first female President and with the local (female) Mayor in attendance the day reinforced to me the importance of Women's ever-increasing role in local communities. It is incumbent on me and those like me to continue to find ways to spread the word and Phil's story certainly helps. The nature of Phil's experience drew raw emotion from everyone in the room, it must remain hard for him to talk about. Having said that his Sister has clearly inspired him to be at the forefront of the battle that is violence against women. He honours her with his work, she would be proud of him." "In addition to the emotion of the day I would like to think that our town has made significant steps toward the protection of Women. The men that attended came away with life changing attitudes to what is and what is not acceptable. There is a sense that this was not a one off, but it forms part of a well-planned and ongoing determination to make sure the Woman of our town and beyond are treated well. We hope to maintain our relationship with Phil to help us facilitate our leadership in this area. Our Club and our Community stands ready to continue the battle and we thank Phil Cleary for helping to motivate, inspire & drive Women's basic rights." Belinda DeMaria - Mansfield Football Netball Club President - I have watched Phil Cleary captivate audiences at various speaking functions over the last year, many different audiences, and many different topics. Last Saturday he was the last of six speakers, presenting to over 100 people in a warm stuffy room. "Well he certainly woke me up", "I wanted more", "Blew my socks off", were some of the comments I got from people as they clamoured to shake his hand afterwards. Hard hitting, but always with a sense of humour, Phil Cleary comes into his own in front of a room full of people. Pure entertainment yet packed with plenty of food for thought. His unique style captivates people in a way that few people can in these days of quiet politeness and mediocrity. He paints pictures of people, situations and circumstances that draw the audience in. He takes them with him on his journey, and they always keep up. One woman who has a PhD said ' it was wonderful to be taken on such a great intellectual pursuit ...I couldn't remember feeling so alive and switched on mentally for a very long time…' He makes people laugh and cry, strive for more and feel brave. His experiences, as a teacher, a politician and a football coach allow him to tune into an audience, challenge the mental hurdles that they have erected and push through them. People emerge less precious, more aware of how we all interact and have a role in this world and more prepared to accept responsibility for their own decisions and actions. I have never known anyone, after hearing Phil in full flight, who hasn't taken something new, unique or exciting away with them, when they left the room. Jane Ashton - Twin sister of Julie Ramage, who was strangled by her estranged husband in 2003. Julie’s death was the subject of Phil's book - Getting away with murder. - The ball of energy and passion that is legendary VFA hard man and media commentator, Phil Cleary, swept into Pyramid Hill on 14 June as the headline act for the men's health night jointly initiated by Northern District Community Health Service and Pyramid Hill Football Club. Cleary, well-known for his exploits as a player and coach for Coburg and for his dogged campaign to bring an end to the legal defence of provocation following the murder of his sister, took the reins at training and the night air rang with his barked instructions and praise for the efforts of his temporary charges. The men's health night, held during International Men's Health Week, attracted an excellent crowd of sixty men to Mitchell Park to engage with some of the major issues in men's health and well-being. Cleary also picked up on the night's theme of men taking responsibility in his address. He regaled the audience with amusing tales of his days as a VFA player and coach and of his time as an independent member of federal Parliament. As probably the only MP to have his campaign accidentally kick-started by the Truth newspaper, Cleary had the crowd in stitches with anecdotes about his meetings with then Prime Minister, Paul Keating. Cleary returned to two key challenges for men. Firstly, he stressed the need for good men to take responsibility in the roles of dads and mentors for the raising of fine young men and women. Cleary's description of his realisation that his relationship with his kids was the most important thing in his life really struck a chord with his audience. Warming to the theme, Cleary described how his sister's murderer was able to use the defence of provocation to his advantage and his campaign, not only to change the law, but to urge men to take a stand when they see something, they believe is wrong. Admitting an on-field 'hard man' reputation, Cleary said that in fact he didn't like violence and urged men to take responsibility, not only for their own conduct in their relations with others, but also not to condone it where they see it happening. The passion of Cleary's commitment and his courage in taking a stand against the odds won the respect of his audience and his views are certain to have made a mark. Greg Currie - Phil Cleary has been hosting our Northern Blues corporate breakfasts for the past eight years. He has interviewed many of our renowned guest speakers such as Mick Malthouse, Paul Roos, Peter Hudson, Dermott Brereton, Craig Hutchison, The late Danny Frawley, Rodney Eade, Carlton CEO Cain Liddle and Brad Johnston to name a few. Phil is truly captivating, entertaining and comical but most of all well informed, he really does his research and delivers the most left field questions, surprising our audience and guest speakers who are also entertained by Phil’s animated approach, making the interview very candid and leaving our guests well entertained.

To date I have engaged in speaking as a small portion of my professional life. However, I am keen to spread the anti-violence word and increase my speaking engagements across Australia. This includes discussing what we mean when we say violence against women is a serious social problem and how creating gender equality and respectful relationships in football clubs and the community can eradicate the source of the problem.

A whole slew of new public goods has been built. And most have been built privately. Google, Facebook and Twitter are all public goods. So too are open source software and Wikipedia. The first group are built for profit, the second for other reasons. But the government had nothing to do with either. This calls for a whole new agenda – in which those in the public, private and NGO sectors come together and build the digital public goods of the 21st century. What do those new goods look like? And how do we start? ### **Five ways innovation talk is too vague to help anyone: And how the extended technology stack can *really* promote innovation** Innovation policy costs the Australian budget well over $1 billion or closer to $10 billion a year if you include research budgets. Little of it is evidence-based and we have little idea of how effective it is. We subsidise activities that we think are underprovided by the market. But if we focused instead on the extended technology stack – the way in which different organisations, from governments to community groups to individual businesses could all dovetail their activities better together online – together cooperating in the development of a platform, we could make Australia an innovation powerhouse at zero cost to the budget. ### **Nudging towards innovation** Dr Gruen will discuss the myriad ways governments can promote innovation without spending money. This is the “Innovation without money” agenda he championed as Chair of Innovation Australia. Because more and more successful innovation involves collaboration between different actors in the economy, it stands to reason that there are strict limits to the extent to which traditional subsidies to activity – whether that activity is in government, the private sector or in some other sector such as education or the not-for-profit sector – can generate innovation. ### **Are the forecasts on which you rely worth the paper they’re written on?** When researchers at the Reserve Bank of Australia investigated the amount of value their forecasts added, the answers were not pretty. The RBA spends more than anyone else on forecasts and has the best experts. And their forecasts were probably the best there are over a long period of time. But they still explained only around 10 percent of the changes they forecast, with the rest being random noise. And other forecasters were nearly as good – or should that be “only slightly worse”. Yet forecasters are notoriously overconfident in their forecasts. How can we do better in forecasting? How can we prevent overconfidence in our forecasts? We can learn by asking which forecasters almost never suffer from overconfidence. And why. ### **How we’re wanting ‘change we can believe in’ before change we need** The young want ‘change’ – as well they might. But not all change is worth having. And change-makers use the tools of marketing to convince us of the value of their causes. In this talk, Nicholas Gruen will interrogate change-making and conclude that some of the causes we’re invited to get caught up in are unlikely to achieve much and might even make things worse. Meanwhile, other changes we need to make are as urgent as ever. ### **Want your business to be smart? Maybe try not being stupid.** Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s business partner and co-billionaire, says that’s all they do. “It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.” There are hundreds of cognitive biases, many of which get stronger in groups, particularly hierarchical groups. That’s pretty much every organisation. What are these biases and how can you and your business protect yourselves? ### **Why aren’t business decisions more evidence-based and what can we do to make them so?** Evidence-based policy is a big deal in government. It is important in business too, but business tends to ‘wing it’, paying little attention to the way KPIs are set. Business needs far deeper expertise in monitoring and evaluation, delivered, as it was in the Toyota production system, to help those at the ‘coalface’ optimise their performance. In this talk, Dr Gruen will show how you can revolutionise the performance of your business by using expertise first developed in the not-for-profit sector to measure and track the effectiveness of value creation in the business and report it independently to all stakeholders. ### **How we blew it in international negotiations: DFAT goes AWOL on IP and the TPP** It’s axiomatic that as we transition towards a progressively more knowledge-intensive economy, intellectual property (IP) arrangements become increasingly important. Yet they have never received the attention they deserve from economists or policymakers. IP arrangements are increasingly constrained by international agreements, and yet our chief negotiator, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, demonstrates virtually no coherent thought as to what our strategic IP interests are or what kind of framework might be applied when considering and negotiating them. In this presentation, Dr Gruen explores the basic economics of IP and suggests some principles to which we should adhere in negotiating international agreements; principles we’ve ignored so far. ### **Why have our democracy and our politics turned so toxic and what can we do about it? (Alternative title for talk below).** ### **Detoxing our democracy: a new role for ordinary people in politics** Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump have humiliated political elites. But Australia led the pack in 2013 when Australia’s Parliament humiliated themselves – abolishing carbon pricing when most of them understood the folly of doing so. Why? Because of the imperatives of political combat in our *vox pop* democracy. With the political-infotainment complex degrading representative politics, creating space for ordinary people to influence our politics at every level could see our democracy reborn. It could also help young Australians, less educated and lower income Australians fight back against political eclipse by older generations. ### **Detoxing democracy: Brexit and the considered will of the British people** Though material conditions played their part, the degradation of politics now so evident in the shock and awe of Brexit and Trump also reflect the way in which elections orient politics around political combat, rather than deliberation and problem-solving. Yet Britain could use the ancient Athenian idea of selection by lot – choosing a cross-section of the public to deliberate together to complement elections – to turn its slow-motion crisis into the rebirth of democracy, moving it from government according to the will of the people, and towards the richer, safer notion of government according to the considered will of the people. ### **How to protect your organisation from our toxic politics** Polarisation is built into politics. You can’t become a politician without beating other politicians to the job. Political activists feed off all the same things a shock jock feeds off – sensation, indignance, self-righteousness. In this presentation, Dr Gruen shows how self-appointed spokespeople – for consumers, for business, for investors, for women, for any group, are usually hugely unrepresentative of the group they claim to be representing and explores ways your organisation can cut through to deal with the people themselves. ## **Any of the following topics can be elaborated on request.** ## ### **How public-private data partnerships could transform our world** ### **How can we get leaders who serve, rather than look after themselves?** ### **Corporate social responsibility, shared value, ethics and your organisation** ### **Innovation – in government, business, health, education and finance** ### **Big Data: myths and reality** ### **Is Artificial Intelligence coming after your job?** ### **Everything you really do know about economics that doesn’t involve numbers or forecasts** ### **We’ve heard what governments should learn from business: What can business learn from governments?** ### **Design thinking: how it can help business, government – all organisations in everything they do** ### **Social innovation: what it is, how you can help it and how it can help you** To secure Nicholas for your next event, [Contact Us](https://www.talkingtalent.com.au/contact-us/) today.
