Speaking

FOLLOW THE MONEY!!

Forget work/life balance, staff retention strategies and lifestyle issues, its time to get really serious about growth - and that means reaching out to the countries in the world that will continue to prosper, grow and invest at a time when we're in recession. We're talking about Brazil, Russia, India and China. These are emerging economies who are looking to develop their global connections, acquire successful businesses in developed countries and hire in experience, innovation and creativity to support their plans for global expansion.

But how much do you know about these countries? Have you ever been to any of them? Do you know anyone there? How do you even get started?

Our challenge to you is this - become as familiar with the BRIC countries as you are with the US, UK and Europe. Its not too late to play a part in the new world that we now live in. But the risk is that you will play it too safe!

David Thomas of Think Global has spent the last 25 years doing business in Europe and Asia and now leads delegations to the BRIC countries and works with individuals and companies to expand their global footprint. Book him now to talk to you and your team about a whole new world of possibilities in countries you never dreamed of doing business in.

Don't delay, the time for action is now! Please complete this online enquiry form and take a look at David's complete speaker kit below.

"David Thomas is a true Thought Leader in the BRIC arena - if you want to create opportunities where 3/4th of the world will be in 10 years (Brazil, Russia, India and China) - you must speak to David! I joined David on his trade mission to China in May 08 and my high expectations were far, far exceeded. I wanted to see if there were any opportunities for my management consulting in China. Where there any? Well really the opportunities are really unlimited, or at least 10,000 times greater than in my home country. If you want to connect business and country leaders in China - you'd be nuts not to hear David speak. Stop thinking about it and take action now on China - you'll wonder why you waited so long after you see the vast opportunities."
