Hello. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I am:

This site exists to help me share my work and to help you get to know me if you want to work with me. Here are some things you might be looking for:

  • My photos and biog can be found here. (Feel free to use anything on this page without emailing me to ask).

  • My values and what makes me tick.

  • What I’m doing right now.

  • How to book me as a keynote speaker for your event.

  • An AI version of me, AskGraham.ai, trained on my books and writing. Free, and good for when you’re stuck on something at work.

I send out an email to my mailing list every Sunday (except when I have nothing to say or accidentally miss a week). It’s designed to fire you up for the week ahead. You can join this by filling in the box at the bottom of the page.

And if you just want to say hi, pick apart something I’ve said on a podcast, or offer me money or magical exposure beans in exchange for doing something useful for you, then you can use my contact form here.

Graham Allcott, author of KIND

What are you stuck on?

Free AI coach, trained on my books and writing. Tell it what you’re stuck on and it’ll talk it through the way I would.
