Packed with stunning photographs, thunderous roars, humour, and an ability to tell and act out the story; his keynotes are truly able to drive the message home.
Audiences leave enthralled, and repeat the stories to friends and colleagues, which further entrenches the message and results in immense take home business value.

Ian Thomas presents a riveting and informative account of how lions, the only cats that hunt in teams, can be compared with how businesses operate as teams.
Lions form teams in order to hunt the vast herds of antelope that evolved onto Africa’s savannas. The strategy of using teams to ambush these herds was extremely successful.
Individual lions and lionesses benefited from this association and the prides became extremely powerful. The presentation is based around this point – that the success of the team is because of the individual and the success of the individual is because of the team.
Keynote by Speaker Ian Thomas
Ian Thomas, while working as a Game Ranger, discovered that his guests’ predominant request was to see lions. In order to satisfy his customers, he set out on a strategy to find lions on a daily basis.
The strategy conceived was both fun and a financial success. The reason for its success was that its whole thrust – that of competitive advantage – was seen from the customers’ point of view.
Very inspirational!
