LEADERSHIP

If we were sipping gin cocktails—and let’s be honest, that’s a meeting I’d totally take—and you asked me what great leadership is, I’d say this: Great leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about making everyone else in the room smarter.

It’s brave, but it works.

I didn’t figure this out on my own—I stole it from the superstars and world leaders I worked with while leading the most watched TV shows on earth. My content has racked up over 8 billion views globally and won just about every international award you can name—shows like Big Brother, The Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing with the Stars, The X Factor, Q&A, and many more.

I’ve worked with some of the biggest egos on the planet, hit impossible deadlines, and made very public mistakes—live, in front of millions. And here’s the thing: show business and your business are no different. Bad leadership means zero direction, unhappy teams, missed goals, and lost revenue. Who wants to come to work? No one. It’s a creativity killer, and it leads to burnout.

But that’s where I come in. I’ve taken leadership lessons from world leaders, influencers, entertainment greats, influencers and superstars—people like Snoop Dogg, Pink, Troye Sivan, Tony Curtis, Donald Trump, King Charles, One Direction, Richard Branson, and many more—and now I’m bringing the strategies I’ve stolen from these smart people to your boardroom. 

These aren’t Harvard textbook theories. These are Hollywood hacks—practical tools to help you inspire your team to deliver when failure isn’t an option (and when is it ever?).

Why Leadership Matters in Business Development

Without great leadership, you’re steering your business straight into a crisis. Poor leadership leads to disengaged teams, dwindling creativity, missed targets, and lost revenue, and we love revenue. You’re not just risking burnout—you’re risking your best people walking out the door. In today’s fast-paced business environment, teams need leaders who can navigate chaos, manage egos, and solve problems under pressure.

If your company isn’t investing in leadership development, you’re leaving your future to chance. And let’s be honest—who wants to rely on lady luck when it comes to big business?

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

Takeouts:

  • How to Lead in Chaos: Keep calm and steer the ship when everything’s going wrong.

  • Motivating in Crisis: Keep your team moving when they’re running on fumes.

Sessions are custom-built for your company, packed with real-world examples from shows you know and love…

I’ve spent decades mastering the art of leadership in one of the world’s most cutthroat industries—entertainment media. From running billion-dollar shows to creating iconic TV moments, I know firsthand what it takes to lead teams through chaos, inspire creativity, and drive results. My sessions are practical, interactive, and wildly entertaining—because when people are laughing, they’re learning.

Each session is custom-built for your company, packed with real-world examples from shows you know and love (or hate), and filled with actionable takeaways. Your team will leave with the tools they need to lead with confidence, boost performance, and solve problems on the fly.

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.
