Ian Thomas Speaker Biography

Ian Thomas Speaker Biography

About Ian Thomas

Expert in drawing parallels between lion prides and business teams
Experienced game ranger with over two decades of animal observation
Speaker on teamwork and communication strategies inspired by nature
Ian Thomas draws parallels between how a successful team works and that of a pride of lions. Covering everything from teamwork, communication, goals, and incentives, using the example set to us by successful lion prides.

Business strategist Ian has spent over two decades as a game ranger, closely observing lions. He draws from his experiences in the African bush to compare the teamwork strategies of lions with those in business environments.

Ian's studies reveal that lions are the only cats that hunt in teams, a tactic they developed to hunt large herds of antelope on Africa’s savannahs effectively. This team-based hunting strategy proved highly successful, enabling individual lions and lionesses to thrive and their prides to become powerful.

In his presentations, Ian highlights the interdependent success of individuals and the team, encapsulated in the idea that "the success of the team is because of the individual and the success of the individual is because of the team." This principle underpins both effective lion prides and successful business teams.

Ian Thomas
Through your Power of the Pride you managed to connect, and unite, every single person in our audience of 450. One of the most difficult things to achieve is a common platform in a very diverse audience: you held them in the palm of your hand – executives, middle managers, call centre staff – every single one of them hanging of every word! It was incredible! The message of team work and collaboration hit home – and I can't describe the change in energy and in attitude after the session. | Pia Marangoni | | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
