Introduction script
About sixty seconds, for your MC. "Reese" rhymes with "peace". Please read it as written; Jordan's first line answers it.
Our next speaker spent eight years teaching secondary-school English, and says the hardest audience in the world is a room of sixteen-year-olds at 2pm on a Friday. Since leaving the classroom, our speaker has spoken to more than 300 audiences in 17 countries, and written a book about the one question that changed those teenagers' work, and later, a lot of sales teams' numbers. Please welcome Temitope Olotin

Long bio, 200 words
Temitope Olotin spent eight years teaching secondary-school English in Lagos before giving a first keynote, to 400 teachers at a state education conference in 2014. The talk was about one question on a classroom whiteboard, "What would have to be true?", and what happened when sixteen-year-olds started asking it about their own work.
Since then Jordan has spoken at more than 300 events in 17 countries, for audiences from a leadership team of 12 to an arena of 9,000: sales kick-offs, leadership offsites, education conferences and professional associations. Organisers book Jordan for talks that their people can use the next week, and for a style that is warm, funny and exact.
Jordan is a certified executive coach and the author of "The Possibility Question: How teams find growth in a flat year" (Calloway Press, 2022). Jordan lives in Lagos and still teaches one evening class a term.
