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.”

My 2026 Speaker Topics
The following list showcases my current range of speaker topics, all of which can be delivered as keynote presentations as well as workshops. One very important aspect of my presenting is that every presentation I do is customised to suit the audience. You can use the list below for some ideas, but we will work together to finalise the exact topic and content that best suits your needs early on in the engagement process. These can all be delivered virtually as well as live and check out my 2026 speaker kit if you'd like a few more ideas.
1. IT'S TIME TO BECOME MAGNIFICENTLY UNFORGETTABLE: Because it's never been so easy to lose relevance.
In a world that is becoming increasingly competitive, it’s never been easier to get lost and lose relevance. Now I’ve developed a clear and practical process to help you stand out in a way that truly matters. This keynote brings the Magnificently Unforgettable framework to life with real stories, lived experience, and straight-talking strategies. We will unpack how to define what makes you magnificent, think and act on a bigger scale, build a brand that is impossible to ignore, and create products and messaging that evolve with your customers. You will learn how to communicate more powerfully, connect more deeply, and charge what you are truly worth. This is not about being louder or flashier. It is about becoming the business that people remember, trust and talk about for all the right reasons. Come ready to rethink, recharge and reinvent the way you show up in your market.
2. SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE WHY NOT MAKE IT YOU?: But if you're going to be the most expensive you have to be the best.
After four decades in business, I’ve learned this the hard way and the funny way: the businesses that flourish are the ones that stop discounting themselves and start charging what they’re truly worth. This keynote, inspired by my bestselling book Someone Has to Be the Most Expensive, Why Not Make It You?, is packed with stories from the trenches, pricing mistakes that still make me cringe, and the practical mindset shifts that changed everything. You’ll laugh, squirm a little, and see your own value in a whole new light. I’ll share a proven framework to help you raise your prices with confidence, keep your customers close, and position yourself as the standout option in your market. In uncertain times, being the cheapest is risky. Being the most valuable is smart. It’s time to back yourself and charge accordingly
3. WOULD YOUR CUSTOMERS FIGHT TO SAVE YOUR BUSINESS?: The incredible importance of customer proximity.
What if your customers cared so deeply about your business that they would fight to keep it alive? In this keynote, I dive into the concept of customer proximity and why it has become one of the most powerful yet overlooked drivers of business success. Forget shallow satisfaction scores and polite smiles. This is about building real, human connection with your customers so they become loyal beyond logic and willing to shout your name from the rooftops. I will share lessons from businesses that have nailed this, stories from the front lines, and practical steps to help you turn your customers into your most passionate advocates. Creating that kind of loyalty is not luck. It is the result of showing up, listening hard, delivering consistently and caring deeply. If you want customers who would fight for you, it starts with becoming a business worth fighting for.
4. THE ENTREPRENEURIAL CAMPFIRE: Using storytelling to build your business.
Long before we had marketing departments, pitch decks or social media, we had stories. And today, in a noisy, distracted world, it is the businesses that tell the best stories that win hearts, trust and loyalty. In this keynote, I share my Entrepreneurial Campfire approach to storytelling, showing how you can use stories to solve big business problems, attract opportunities and connect more deeply with every audience you serve. Whether it is your customers, your team or your community, people remember powerful stories. I will walk you through the ten essential stories every business needs to have ready to go, and how to craft and deliver them with impact. Storytelling is no longer just a soft skill, it’s an essential skill. Pull up a chair, light the fire, and let’s start telling better stories.
5. THE EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT OF A 100 YEAR PLAN: Creating a culture strong, innovative, self evolving culture.
Most businesses are so focused on next week’s numbers that they never stop to ask what their legacy will be. In this keynote, I introduce the idea of building a 100 year plan, not as a fantasy, but as a strategy for long-term relevance, resilience and leadership. I will walk you through the key steps to think generationally, define a purpose beyond profit, build a culture that can adapt and thrive, and hardwire innovation into your DNA. This is not about predicting the future. It is about preparing for it with clarity, courage and conviction. You will see how your values become your compass, how culture becomes your engine, and how legacy thinking will reshape everything from your product architecture to your customer relationships. A hundred year plan is not just a business tool, it is a bold decision to matter for the long haul.
6. GOING OLD SCHOOL IN A NEW SCHOOL WORLD: Having the courage to zig when everyone else is zagging.
In today’s digital-obsessed world, it takes real courage to bring back the best of old school marketing. This keynote is not about rejecting the new world of marketing or turning your back on digital. It is about blending old and new to create marketing that actually connects. I will unpack why many traditional marketing ideas are not outdated, they are simply underused, and why now is the perfect time to bring them back. From handwritten notes and face-to-face connection to service that surprises and storytelling that sticks, old school thinking can help you build trust, create unforgettable customer experiences, and charge what you are really worth. You will learn how to balance timeless strategies with modern tools to create marketing that cuts through the noise and keeps people coming back. This is not about nostalgia. It is about boldness, brilliance and building a business that stands out for all the right reasons.
7. HOW TO STAY SANE WHEN IT FEELS LIKE THE WORLD IS GOING CRAZY: Building unshakeable resilience in turbulent times.
When the world feels like it is spinning off its axis, the most valuable skill a business owner can develop is resilience. In this keynote, I share the strategies I have used over decades to stay grounded, focused and strong through tough times, unexpected crises and overwhelming change. You will learn how to build practical, repeatable habits that protect your energy, sharpen your thinking and keep you moving forward no matter what is happening around you. This is not about pretending things are easy. It is about building the mental and emotional fitness to handle what is hard. We will explore how to manage stress, make smart decisions under pressure, and stay calm while others panic. The truth is, the most turbulent times often bring the biggest opportunities, but only for those who can keep their head, back themselves and keep moving forward.
