Speaking Topics
Road to Vino - A Story of Failure, Resilience, Transformation and Happiness
It took twenty years, five failed businesses and three unsuccessful careers to build the overnight success that is $100m global online wine startup Vinomofo. Woven through a moving story of 50 Stones and an epiphany, André shares a very real and raw account of the failures, triumphs and hard and vital lessons that have shaped the company and him as an entrepreneur. This is the real truth - the fears, the impact of being an entrepreneur on friends and family, the soul-searching. Who this is for: Founders, entrepreneurs, small business owners, teams going through disruption or transformation, people looking for happiness and balance Key Takeaways: - How to create a culture that is not afraid to fail - Tools to help teams cope with failure, adapt to change - A new perspective on life that just may be the secret to happiness.
Human Business - Changing Culture for Good
Our culture of business is broken. The relentless pursuit of growth for growth’s sake, no matter the cost; more over better; profit without purpose; manipulating customers and employees for optimisation and efficiency; taking no responsibility for community or the planet - it’s not sustainable. People are holding organisations accountable, and even the mighty are falling on account of poor culture. Companies are realising they must create value not only for shareholders, but for all - customers, employees, suppliers and the community. Organisations want to change, even if only because they know it’s the only way to survive and grow. But they need help. André shares with us the Human Business Manifesto - a model for changing the culture of business for good. Who this is for: Founders, entrepreneurs, business leaders, teams, and anybody who wants to see a change for good Key Takeaways: - How to create a sustainable, enduring human culture - New human business definitions of success - Inspiring examples of companies leading the movement, and how you too can be a human business.
How to Grow a Tribal Brand

André shares his insights from creating one of the most engaging wine brands in the world, and shows us how to align purpose, culture and brand, how to tell a story that people will care about and talk about. Who this is for: Founders, entrepreneurs, business leaders, executives, marketers Key Takeaways: - Tribal Methodology for defining purpose, your why, how and what you stand for - Community Canvas model for finding your tribe, and what unites them - Brand Values, the Core Idea and telling stories that people will talk about
