5 Reasons you should book Andrew Griffiths for your next event.
In reality I have been a presenter for 40 years, whether it was teaching people to dive or promoting tourism internationally or even running marketing workshops for Small Business owners, I've never been far from a stage. When my first book was published, "101 Ways to Market Your Business", I was asked to present on small business success around Australia, and I have been presenting on this topic ever since.
I have had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and expertise with hundreds of organisations, at conferences, retreats and special events throughout Australia and in the USA, Thailand, Malaysia, New Zealand, Iran, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore and Fiji. My clients have included organisations as diverse as HP, CBS, Remax, Hertz, the European Union and many, many more.
Today my main focus is helping people to future proof themselves and their businesses. This is a huge topic and one that covers everything from pricing strategies, to resliience, to communication, innovation and much more. I'm really passionate about getting business owners to embrace their unique human skills and traits to stand out in a highly cluttered and competive environment.

My commitment to you is this - if you trust me enough to book me for your event, I will do everything in my power to make it as hugely successful as possible. Ask around and you will find that my reputation really does speak for itself. If you want a Speaker who will inspire and educate your audience, with many powerful stories, simple but hugely impactful frameworks and strategies that are constantly being used successfully around the world, then I'm your man.
ANDREW IS TASMANIAN BASED
And a World Class Storyteller
You don't survive for 40 years as a professional speaker without having mastered stagecraft. For me it's vitally important that I share deeply valuable knowledge in a way that my audiences feel empowered to use this information. I have a great time on stage, and my aim is always to make my audience laugh, make them cry and make them think!
Presenting around the world
Over the past few years I have spoken at hundreds of events around the world. I've had the great pleasure of sharing my views on how we can future proof ourselves, our businesses and even our industries in 25 countries. If you want your audience to be inspired, entertained and energised - then I'm sure I can help.
One testimonial that says it all
“In the last 10 years I have run over 1500 events across the globe. Andrew is, without doubt, one of the best presenters I have ever worked with. I pitched Andrew on a roadshow of events for Newable, the Department of International Trade UK and the Enterprise Europe Network.
British audiences are far less interactive and very different to Australian audiences. Yet Andrew has this extraordinary ability to win a room within the first few minutes on stage, with his real life experience and business knowledge, which he shares so powerfully with his masterful storytelling.
That particular roadshow consisted of a 14 event series, including a story telling keynote at a diversity conference for 500 women entrepreneurs, a full day content marketing workshop for my event team of 16, a 2 day presenter training workshop for 70 hard-nosed International Trade Advisers and 11 one day workshops on branding for international sales, conducted throughout England.
Each event had a different format, location, content and audience but the one thing that was consistent throughout the roadshow of events was Andrew’s ability to connect with each and every audience, to inspire, motivate and educate. No mean feat in light of the challenging times being faced with business uncertainty around Brexit.
The audience net promoter average across Andrew’s events was 9.7/10 – it was the highest of any presenter we had ever had. A truly extraordinary result from a truly extraordinary speaker.”
