Powered by the £1b Connect Those Dots growth framework
Most established businesses are sitting on more profitable growth than they realise. Not because they are doing anything wrong, but because their dots are not connected. The result... Missed money, silent waste, and opportunities that should have been won but never were.
I 'show' your audience 'how' to find that missed money and turn it into customer growth they can scale.
Bookers and organisers tell me the same thing after I speak. Their audience leaves with clarity. They stop chasing shiny tactics and start seeing where the real growth lives inside their own business. The growth they have already earned.
I have spent twenty five years in the trenches growing my own companies and helping others grow theirs. More than one billion pounds in profitable revenue created along the way. No paid ads or gimmicks. Just dot connecting logic that works in the real world.
My £1b Connect Those Dots growth framework shows established businesses exactly where their missed money is hiding and how to claim it.
When you put me in front of a room through my talks, keynote, workshop, fireside chat, or coaching / training, they walk out knowing what to look for, why they have been missing it, and what to do on Monday to fix it.
"Your audience are not only wasting a huge amount of money on growth tactics that don't work... but their customer journey dots are disconnected... throwing away millions in lost revenue opportunities. My dot connecting framework is the solution to solve that."

The £1b Connect Those Dots Growth Framework
A dot is anything that shapes how the world sees you, trusts you, chooses you, and stays with you. But here is the part most people never realise. Your dots do not create growth... your connections do. Because a dot on its own is just information. A dot connected with purpose becomes transformation. That is where the real breakthroughs happen, the moment you... Connect Those Dots.
Most businesses think they need more. More tools. More tactics. More noise. More content. But more does NOT mean growth. More without connection creates confusion. More without alignment creates chaos. More without a framework creates waste.
Listen to my single 'Connect Those Dots... This is where your growth unlocks' and let's connect your audiences dots... together.
This song is also the foundation of all my talks, keynote, and workshop, besides the concept of my book with the same title as the song... Connect Those Dots... This is where your growth unlocks.

He is unassuming and quietly spoken and quietly dropped nuggets of gold along the way that will make more difference to us than many of the more flamboyant-but-with-less-substance speakers.

My Signature Talks (Tailored to Your Event)
Every talk I deliver is individual and tailored to your requirements, whilst solving your audience’s unique growth challenges.
Below are my four main talk titles that I will customise for your audience.
Fuel New Customer Growth With A Dot Connecting Mindset
Be THE Brand That AI Platforms Recommend
Scale Your Franchise Network By Connecting Those Dots
The £1b Digital Dot Connector Formula
I'm not positioned as an 'Artificial Intelligence (AI) Speaker', but I naturally weave AI into my talks where it strengthens the message for your audience. By drawing on platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, I help audiences cut through the confusion and noise and see how AI can be used to drive real customer growth in an easy to understand way. This gives your event added relevance in the world we now all live in - without turning the session into a technical lecture on AI.
My Keynote Talk
If you are looking for someone to open or close your event or conference and not just a talk to slot in during the day, my keynote talk is just what you have been looking for to get your business audience in the right mindset for the day or to leave your event excited.
