PREDATORY THINKING – THINK LIKE A TV PRODUCER.

Why have all my shows been No. 1 hits? Someone asked me that on a podcast recently, and while I was tempted to reply, “Obviously, I’m a creative genius,” the truth is simpler. 

  1. I surround myself with people way smarter than me and

  2. I out-think my competition.

PREDATORY THINKING is the reason my shows in Australia, the USA, and the UK have dominated, why my content has been watched more than 8 billion times, and why I’ve worked with the world’s most influential people—Beyoncé, King Charles, One Direction, Donald Trump, Simon Cowell, Snoop Dogg, Pink, Richard Branson, Mark Bouris, Troye Sivan, Elton John, David Bowie and many more.

Creativity is at the heart of everything I do. It’s what makes businesses stand out and it’s the driving force behind every major success story. As an award-winning international TV producer, I’ve spent decades shaping shows that resonate with audiences and create cultural waves. Now, I’m bringing those same principles to your business development, helping you think harder, and deeper and win. 

Here’s the problem: most businesses play it safe.

They think doing the same thing they did last year will get them ahead this year. Spoiler alert: Nope. If you’re not investing in creativity and innovation, you’re losing ground to competitors who are. You risk becoming irrelevant, failing to capture your audience’s attention, and watching your most talented people leave for pastures new.

Without creativity, brands fade into the background, messages are forgettable, and teams lose the love.

Curious? Let’s talk about you - let’s zoom.

Takeouts:

  • Think Like a TV Producer: Learn the two core principles behind the world’s most successful shows and apply them to your business.

  • Creating Influence & Interest: Understand how to build influence around your brand and keep customers coming back for more.

  • Motivate Your Team: Ignite creativity within your teams, encouraging them to think, change, and grow.

  • Why Disruption Wins: Discover how The Voice beat The X Factor, and how thinking disruptively can give your business the competitive edge.

  • Brand Loyalty & Interest: Learn how to build lasting loyalty by thinking harder and smarter than your competition.

  • Think Differently - Be different enough to cut through but not so different it’s dangerous - why The Weakest Link worked in an already overcrowded market.

You’re getting someone who has led the creation of the world’s most watched content.

When you book me for your business development, you’re not just getting a speaker and trainer—you’re getting someone who has led the creation of the world’s most watched content. I understand the mechanics of running big businesses because I’ve done it. But more importantly, I know how to captivate an audience and deliver a message that sticks and is easily and instantly actionable. And even thought I say so myself, it works. 

I’ve led massive teams, created global phenomena, and worked with everyone from President Donald Trump to The Spice Girls, scientists, cyber security experts. I’ve shaped the way millions of people think and engage with the world, and now I’m ready to help your business do the same. My business development sessions are fully customized to your audience and your industry, and they’re wildly interactive—quizzes, real-time exercises, and yes, even dancing, because when people are entertained, they’re engaged, and when they’re engaged, they learn.

Your teams will leave these sessions with more than just ideas—they’ll have the tools to implement change and boost your bottom line immediately. And most importantly, you’ll look like a rock star to your stakeholders. Noice. 

If this sounds like something that could boost your bottom line, let’s zoom.

When you’ve made the biggest shows on earth with the biggest stars, teams, budgets and delivered more than 8 billion views, you get how to entertain and engage audiences.  Well, you’d hope, as my training is created specifically for you, to make people sit up, take notice, and act. 

Even though I say so myself, I deliver killer training, but I guess I would say that, wouldn’t I? But here’s the thing, I don’t just talk about growth—I show you how to make it happen, in a way that sticks, because Show Business is not Show, Show - it’s big business, and it’s cut throat, crazy and hard core.

I’ve worked with everyone from Donald Trump to King Charles, Beyoncé to Buzz Aldrin, Simon Cowell to Richard Branson, leading and creating shows like Big Brother, The X Factor, The Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing With The Stars, and many more, and I’ve shamelessly stolen the smarts from those shows and the strategies from those superstars, to share with you.

That same expertise now fuels the business development programs I create for you. My media and entertainment background is unique—I know how to keep audiences hooked and how to shape brands into global powerhouses - eight billion engagements can’t be wrong. 

When you want your teams to love their business development sessions, to feel it’s time very well spent, is entertaining and makes them the rock stars in your industry.

OK, enough about me - let’s talk about you - let’s zoom.
