And he has an excellent sense of humour and can usually has most audience laughing t serious things! Danny has decades of experience delivering dinner speeches as well.
What Danny says in his speeches
"The key to business success in emerging markets is trust, relationships, partnership and friendship". When Danny mentioned this to the Chairman of one of the world's largest consumer product companies, the comment was that "This applies to all markets, developed ones as well"
True indeed.
Danny also enjoys quoting Albert Einstein in his speeches. The great scientist once said, "There are only two things which are infinite: first, the universe, and second human stupidity". Einstein went on to say, "But I'm not sure about the first". Sadly we have seen so much human stupidity in the global financial and business world in recent years which in 2008 brought us close to global financial collapse; the after-effects are still with us.
In Danny’s keynote global presentation he analyses why the global business environment remains tough and challenging for the majority of his client companies and what they are doing to adapt to the multiple new normal. His presentations are filled with mini-case studies from real world corporate experiences and he outlines what corporate Best Practice should be in relation to clients/customers, distributors and partners and internal human resources. Danny has years of experience of expelling the challenges of global and emerging markets to CEOs and at Board level.
He is well able to explain what the key global economic drivers are which affect and influence the corporate world and can assess big-picture strategic issues. Equally though Danny is very comfortable in talking and discussing the “micro” operational issues facing companies: sales, profits, marketing, route to market, consumer segmentation, changes in consumer behaviour etc.
