Dull costs money.

But great stories make you the rock star in your industry. 

Information doesn’t sell, stories do, and bad storytelling could be costing you more than you think.  Dull costs money. Big time. 

Great storytelling is why we know Steve Jobs and don’t know Edward Arthur Johnson - Arthur actually created the first touch screen, back in the 1960s - but Jobs tells a better story, so no one’s making a movie about poor old Arthur.

I’ve spent decades telling stories on the biggest TV shows on the planet—the ground breaking and innovative Big Brother, The Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing with the Stars, The X Factor and Q&A. My content has been watched more than 8 billion times and I once broke X (Twitter) deliberately.  We didn’t pull in those 8 billion views by pushing facts - we pulled them in with killer stories.

Now, I’m here to make your business un-skippable.

Let’s zoom.

Takeouts:

  • The Art of Simplicity. Storytelling makes the complex clear and understandable. Simple narratives stick.

  • Build Emotional Connection. Data doesn’t win audiences or awards, but stories do, so inspire action, create connection and build loyalty.

  • Cut Through the Noise. It’s not about being louder; it’s about being memorable, so stop shouting, and create stories that stand out and demand attention.

  • Know Your Audience. Great stories hit the right audience like an Olympic archer on a good day. Craft stories that target your precise audience - your clients, investors, board, employees, whoever.

  • Drive Business Results. Storytelling is not just for branding; it’s a tool for sales, marketing, and leadership - great stories grow sales, engage employees, and create customer loyalty.

  • Storytelling for Every Industry. Customise your storytelling strategy to suit your industry, with actionable insights tailored to your world.

  • Practical, Real-World Examples. My strategies and techniques are gleaned from my experiences working with global brands, world leaders, and A-list celebrities. See what works—and what doesn’t—from the crazy world of the highest-stakes storytelling on earth

  • Unforgettable and Fun Learning Experience. I don’t just inform—I entertain, because when you’re laughing, you’re learning. This is designed to be engaging, memorable, and leave a lasting impact on your audience.

  • Funny business. Engage your audience by being just a little bit funny - nobody is on their phone at a comedy night. 

  • Stories That Stick. Box-ticking doesn’t work - If your story isn’t memorable, you’re never front of mind. 

  • Ditch the Jargon. When we speak in common phrases, or what we like to call ‘White Noise’ you may be speaking, but no on is listening.

STORYTELLING TRANSFORMS INDUSTRIES:

  • Finance: Numbers don’t inspire. Stories of financial freedom do.

  • Healthcare: It’s about compassion, not just treatment.

  • Tech: Make complex tech exciting—show people they’re part of the future.

  • Retail: People buy lifestyle, not products.

  • Real Estate: Sell the dream, not just the house.

  • Automotive: It’s not the specs, it’s the freedom and status.

  • Pharmaceuticals: Turn science into stories of hope and trust.

  • Marketing: Create narratives, not just ads.

  • Creative Agencies: Keep the story consistent, fresh, and connected.

  • Social Media: Forget volume. Quality wins.

  • Education & Employability: Turning education into employability

  • Sales: Turn leads into customers.

  • Legal: Stories simplify the complex

  • Media: Stories captivate and keep audiences

  • Women: Techniques and strategic stories to empower female success

  • Leadership: Stories that shape vision and create influence

  • Recruitment: Tell stories that attract and retain talent.

This is a keynote, workshop, or away day, that is created uniquely for you, your audience, your industry and your specific problems. It’s interactive, fun and funny, with attendees working on their assets in real time.  There are quizzes, questions, and I’m afraid / delighted to say, dancing. It’s entertaining and interactive, because when the audience is laughing, they’re learning. They leave armed, energised and inspired to implement and innovate. 

Most importantly, it’s about making you, the event organiser, a rock star with your stakeholders, so if you’d like your audience to boost sales with better storytelling, let’s zoom.

Keynote Speaking ✦

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, so my keynotes are created specifically for you, to make people sit up, take notice, and act. 

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.

These keynotes are custom-built for your industry, wildly interactive, and packed with takeaways that change behaviour—instantly.

My speaking pals call me ‘speaking royalty,’ client say I am ‘the best speaker ever’ and if you want to do your own detective work, check out my LinkedIn reviews, there are more than 300, and they’re pretty damn solid. - Maz Speaks Global.
