About
WHO IS Hugh Gyton?
Certified Speaking Professional, sales trainer, coach and behavioural change agent, Hugh Gyton passionately promotes his ethos that “people buy people first”.
Hugh is a magnetic keynote speaker whose enthusiasm for his topic is infectious. Pouring every ounce of energy into each and every presentation, Hugh is amusing, warm and intelligent – and it’s hard to go past his conviction that as individuals, as a society and as friends and lovers, we are diminished if we neglect the art of good communication and good conversation.
Hugh’s message is VITAL for anyone who cares about building a better, stronger workforce, a happier more cohesive environment and surrounding themselves with healthier, more contented individuals.
Hugh’s personal journey of highs and lows, adversity and success, spans three continents and encompasses grief, joy, loss and abundance. Hugh stands apart in this field where so-called experts are plentiful. Through the art of good communication and good conversation, Hugh inspires individuals, teams and audiences to reach their potential both personally and professionally. We ignore Hugh’s message at our peril:
Hugh has over 25 years’ experience in sales, training, coaching and facilitation. He is adept at working with large, multi-cultural groups, illuminating the benefits of positive body language, outstanding personal presentation and mindful conversation. He now focuses on corporate mentoring and training and is in much demand on the speaking circuit.

Catherine Maddox – Regional Development Manager | Development Manager

Hugh was our main speaker at the Woolworths Property Conference speaking on Teamwork and Conversation skills. He really engaged a large group of 160 people of different ages for over 2 hrs- he made us laugh – he made us think about our conversation style. His presentation was funny, to the point, easy to process and understand. Many of my colleagues commented that it was the best presentation of the conference. Thanks Hugh!

Hugh was engaged to deliver a tailored program for 10 of our people … Feedback from the team was: best money I have ever spent, best training course ever, valuable from the first to the last minute, made me think totally differently about how I execute my job – learned a lot from Hugh. We will engage Hugh again because he engages honestly, professionally, warmly and thought provokingly.

Hugh was recommended to me as a person of good character and exceptional training skills; he not only displayed these qualities but also was engaging, communicative, flexible and imaginative.
