In this episode of the Second Success Podcast, Dr Rakish Rana talks with entrepreneur, founder and MD of Exclsuively Connect, Graham Davies. After starting life as a commercial photographer, Graham started a creative journey that expanded into design, marketing, events and experiential marketing. After building an agency for 25 years, Graham went on to form Exclusively Connect in 2011. Graham has a deep-rooted belief in the power of partnerships to achieve business growth. Working solely in the luxury lifestyle and financial services sectors, Graham believes that now more than ever in these challenging times that companies should form alliances and strategic marketing partnerships to work together, rather than working in isolation. The idea of Collaborative Marketing started when faced with a challenge to help a small specialist audio visual company with big ambitions and small budgets become the leading private cinema distributor in the UK. Rather than simply pushing advertising messages out across select marketing channels, Graham decided it would be more strategic to develop a partner group that was in the same space with the same demographic clients and the same ambitions. This was easier said than done as it takes time to develop quality relationships to align objectives with other companies but fast forward to the present day and that small AV company is now the market leader in their field. Exclusively Connect has moved on and is now the UK’s leading provider of Collaborative Marketing services working across the luxury sector and from world class hotels to fashion, jewellery, private aviation, luxury homes and classic cars. Exclusively Connect has also built a portfolio of luxury lifestyle events of which The Elite London, the UK’s largest jet-set lifestyle event is one such event and that too is also the result of a very successful partnership.

If you want (or need) to be a great public speaker, if you want to enthral your audience and be remembered, then don’t miss this episode of The Melting Pot. Because Graham Davies, the self-titled reformed barrister turned accidental orator, is not just a captivating public speaker. Graham is also a renowned public speaking coach whose list of blue-chip corporate and individual high-profile clients reads like an international Who’s Who and includes 8 FTSE 100 CEOs and 20 Cabinet Ministers across successive governments. Graham started life as a barrister, practising law for 12 years, but found a new calling in the late 80s and early 90s when he discovered that there was a budding marketplace for professional after dinner speakers and there was good money to be made doing it. Leveraging his identity as a barrister by day and public entertainer by night, he eventually found himself giving 100 after-dinner speeches a year, whilst maintaining his day job working as a barrister 9 days out of 10, and something had to give. It wasn’t a hard choice to make - he not only enjoyed public speaking more than law, but it paid better too. Ever the consummate professional, Graham began turning up to his speaking engagements earlier and earlier, listening to the speakers who preceded him, and he realised that public speaking was not, as is commonly thought, an innate skill that we all have. And so began his second and current career as The Presentation Coach. Listen to this fantastic high energy, high octane discussion with Graham. We’re sure you'll enjoy it.

In January 2016 the Minister for Technology, Research and Higher Education Minister Muhammad Nasir stated that universities must uphold standards of ‘values and morals’ and should not support organisations that promote LGBT activities. What followed was a social and political furore that has since seen a surge of intolerance and attacks on LGBT. While persecution of sexual minorities is not new, homosexuality is not illegal and in large part within Indonesian society have been accorded tolerance, and at times acceptance.What does the strengthening of conservative voices in Indonesia mean for sexual expression more generally and the rights of minority groups in particular? Why do morality issues and debates have such social currency? What part is this debate likely to have in the forthcoming election campaigns? What does the future look like for the rights of sexual and gender minorities in Indonesia?
