Why book Reinard

I don't speak as a theorist looking down at SMEs from a distance. I speak as someone who's been in the trenches with owners whose debit orders are going off tomorrow and whose phones never stop buzzing. My background is a mix of hands-on marketing, marketing technology and AI, strategy, and day-to-day SME consulting, anchored in a clear Christian view of work and stewardship. That means you don't just get motivation for an hour; you get straight talk, practical next steps, and a framework that respects both the numbers and the people behind them.

Signature talks

This Is Not How a Business Should Feel: A survival manual for SME owners

For owners who are tired of running on fumes. We unpack why so many SMEs default to chaos, what it's really costing you, and the handful of structural changes that can turn constant panic into a business that feels lighter, calmer, and more predictable. Practical, honest, and unromantic on purpose.

Bionic SMEs: Using Martech and AI without losing your soul

A grounded look at how small businesses can use marketing technology and AI in a way that serves people instead of replacing them. We walk through where automation genuinely helps, where it can hurt your relationships, and how to build a "bionic" business that's still deeply human.

Faith, Integrity, and Cash Flow: A Christian view of business stewardship

A talk for owners, leaders, and church business communities who want to take faith seriously in the way they run their companies. We explore how Christian principles like stewardship, honesty, rest, and justice show up in pricing, payroll, debt, growth, and how you treat customers and staff – without pretending the financial pressure isn't real.

From WhatsApp Chaos to a Simple Machine: Building Everyday Systems for Real SMEs

Most SME owners don't need a five-year strategy; they need tomorrow to feel less insane. This talk shows how to move from running your whole business out of your head and your WhatsApp, to building a small, simple "machine" around you. We look at how work actually flows through your business – enquiries, quotes, jobs, cash, complaints – and how to put in just enough structure, tools, and routine so you can breathe, deliver better, and stop restarting every month at zero.

Formats

I tailor sessions to the room and the goal. We can do:

Keynotes – 30–60 minutes for conferences, events or in-house gatherings.
Half-day workshops – practical sessions where owners roll up their sleeves and work on their own businesses.
Church business forums and men's/ladies' groups – faith-and-work conversations that are honest about money and pressure.
SME breakfasts and local evenings – we keep it small, practical, and close to the real issues owners are facing right now.
