“Saved 130+ lives as a police hostage negotiator. 2x Vistage award winner.”
Nigel Taberner is a former Greater Manchester Police officer who spent 30 years in policing, including nearly 10 years as a certified Counter Terrorism Hostage and Crisis Negotiator. During that time he successfully resolved 130+ high-risk situations - armed sieges, domestic and international kidnaps, and suicide threats - before retiring as a Detective Inspector in Counter Terrorism Policing. He now runs Level2Communications, translating the communication, influence, emotional intelligence, and negotiation skills honed in those situations into practical tools for business leaders and sales teams through keynote speeches and half-day masterclasses. He is a two-time recipient of Vistage's Outperformers Award, consistently achieving 90%+ audience satisfaction scores, and has been featured in MySpeaker's Strategic Speaker Review 2026 as one of 40 global voices on human wisdom in leadership. A call with Nigel suits leadership teams, sales organisations, and event organisers looking for a speaker who delivers something genuinely different - stories from a world most audiences will never see, combined with skills that transfer directly into better negotiating, communicating under pressure, and influencing without bargaining power. He runs half-day interactive masterclasses popular with CEO peer groups and Vistage chapters, has spoken internationally across New York, Munich, and Athens, and is represented by Pomona Partners speakers agency.
