2013 NMID features keynote Stuart Knight (sponsored by LimeLight)

Stuart Knight is a graduate from the School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University and today is an award winning entrepreneur, author, and producer extraordinaire.

Sixteen years ago he thought teenagers were getting the wrong advice so he wrote a show for them that ended up touring nationally with Coca Cola.
Ten years ago he didn’t know how to play an instrument, so using computer software he wrote two musicals that sold out to thousands of people across Toronto.
Four years ago he noticed too many people having predictable conversations, which led him to write a critically acclaimed book teaching people how to create powerful connections.
Two years ago he was dared to pitch a new business idea on TV and the idea is now about to become the world’s biggest speaking event.
And when he wasn’t doing that, he stood on stage speaking to people about being their best. To be precise, it’s been over 1 million people so far.

Each year he speaks nationally helping some of Canada’s biggest companies reach new levels of success. He has also written songs that have been heard around the world and commercials that have been seen nationally. And you may have seen or heard him on some of Canada’s biggest TV and Radio stations where he is often asked for his expert opinion. He launched the Top Ten Event, which has raised thousands of dollars for charities in need and garnered almost 20 million media impressions.

He is the author of the exciting book entitled You Should Have Asked, the Art of Powerful Conversation and is recently published his second book, The Madness Of My Mind. As a renegade visionary, Stuart Knight has taken gut wrenching risks and came out on top. Today, with hilarious stories and thought provoking insights, he shares the lessons he has learned helping people reach goals they never imagined they could attain.
