Partners

Strong partnerships are the backbone of any great business

The backbone of any great business is solid partnerships.

I’m a big believer in the importance of building strong and long partnerships.
The following people and organisations are leaders in their niche (some of those niches are pretty darn big). Partnering with such extraordinary individuals and companies keeps me striving to be the best I can be at what I do.

Andrew Griffiths - Entrepreneurial Futurist, Educator & Mentor

From humble beginnings growing up as an orphan, to global entrepreneur, keynote presenter and international bestselling author, Andrew Griffiths is a powerful inspiration to business owners and entrepreneurs around the world. His passion is future proofing and he brings his own unique and entertaining style to this very big and very relevant topic. Andrew Griffiths is best described as an entrepreneurial futurist – in other words he specialises in future proofing businesses across virtually every industry and in every corner of the planet.

With 13 bestselling books sold in 65 countries, and a client base that includes organisations such as the European Union, CBS, Hewlett Packard, Hertz, Telstra and Newscorp, to mention just a few of the 500 organisations he has worked with, he is clearly sought after to provide advice and wisdom for the smallest of businesses to the largest of organisations.

Andrew is able to share his observations, experiences and research from around to world to identify the exact steps any organisation needs to take to become future proof. And he delivers his advice in a down to earth, simple and often hilarious way. Andrew has been a entrepreneurial commentator for many years, sharing both his observations and his realisations with audiences including INC.com out of New York, American based media giant CBS, Newscorp and many others.

As a keynote presenter, Andrew’s authenticity is one of his greatest assets. He has the rare ability to hold a mirror up to people and show them the metaphoric parsley stuck in their teeth, with unapologetic honesty and a quick wit. Andrew imparts wisdom generously, but with clear expectations – he doesn’t just want to leave a warm and fuzzy lasting impression on his audience, he wants to have a lasting impact on the way they choose to live, work and do business as a result of the information he shares and stories he tells.

Why Andrew?

I’ve worked with Andrew for many years (he first mentored me in 2012) when I begun my own entrepreneurial journey helping me to write my three books. Now I’ve become a member of his finely-tuned crew to deliver his famous workshops, events and retreats.

In addition to being his Accountability Coach for his clients (to ensure they too implement and execute in a timely fashion), I’m a presenter at this events and are Andrew’s sales mastermind (I prefer guru) and take all of his sales enquiries and session bookings.
