The 10 Lessons team is on a break for two weeks but we didn't want you to miss out on your weekly dose of wisdom. So here is a rebroadcast of one of your favourite episodes André Alphonso "Collect Adventures Not Things" hosted by Duff Watkins.

André Alphonso is an entrepreneur, owner and leader of multiple businesses, published author, executive coach and keynote speaker who uses storytelling as a way of communicating his message.

Australia is his base and he works in the US, Europe, and Asia. He is the Managing Director of The Ariel Group in Australia, an organisation that combines best practices from actor training, adult learning, and common sense. Their unique methodology develops presence and influence: the ability to connect authentically, communicate effectively, inspire action and build the relationships that help them achieve results.

André is also Founder and Chairman of The Forum Corporation in India. An organisation he went and set up in 2008 where he says he had “a corporate adventure of a lifetime.”

Andre’s singular focus is to enhance the personal presence of all individuals, be they leaders, salespeople, professionals or individual contributors in all types of organisations. He is passionate about helping people think bigger and be bolder than where they are in their world so that they can claim their value. He will tailor his keynotes to the client and conference outcomes to deliver a session that will engage your people from the start to the end and they will walk away with communication tactics that will be used for life.

He is the co-author of Strategic Connections – The New Face of Networking in a Collaborative World released worldwide in 2015.
