The International Expansion Playbook

Thriving Amidst Tariffs and Trade Wars

Join us in July 2025 for a high-impact virtual event designed to help internationally-minded businesses adapt, evolve, and thrive—despite rising tariffs, trade tensions and global market volatility.

The Rules of Global Business Have Changed. Are You ready to Lead Through the Chaos?

Why This Event, and Why Now?

In July 2025, sweeping new tariffs redefined the global business landscape.

Supply chains are in flux. Profitability is under pressure. Uncertainty is the new normal.
That’s why we’ve reimagined our flagship forum—previously the Global Growth Playbook—to meet the moment.

Break-Out Sessions

When supply chains are under pressure and market access is harder to come by, the right distributor can unlock global growth faster than going it alone. In this fast-paced, story-rich session, international growth strategist Mike Todd reveals how to choose, negotiate with, and manage distributors who become real partners—not just middlemen.

You’ll learn what makes top-tier distributors tick, how to avoid common deal-killing mistakes, and how to structure agreements that build momentum instead of bottlenecks.
It’s part psychology, part strategy, and all about harnessing the power of partnership to scale internationally—especially when the landscape is uncertain.

Tech firms face unique challenges going global, especially with today’s trade
barriers. Discover how to build and execute a winning GTM strategy in high-
tariff environments and politically sensitive markets.

With costs rising and capital markets tightening, financial discipline is mission-critical. Explore strategies to manage FX exposure, optimise working capital, and secure international investment.

Uncover the operational blind spots that hold businesses back from real scalability. We’ll help you streamline processes, strengthen your team, and build infrastructure that supports sustainable international growth—even in volatile markets.

Whether you’re already operating internationally or just starting to explore global growth, this session will help you understand the new rules of the game—and how to win.

Invest in Clarity, Capability and Competitive Advantage

In a world of rising uncertainty, the smartest investment you can make is in your ability to adapt and lead.

What Others Are Saying

“I attended Million Dollar Marketing led by inspirational ex-diplomat turned marketing impressario, Cythia Dearin (to understand read her book "Business Beyond Borders). Laid out before me was a carefully crafted blueprint to help me devise my strategy. Talks by skill-specific experts helped. Those attending the class were a mixture of founders and seasoned marketing executives, each wanting to "go global'. For myself, it was a chance to reset my business strategy. Thank you Cynthia. I am still reading your book and grateful for it.”

Phillip Brooks

“I attended the International Capital Advantage intensive and found it a really insightful and useful training to attend. Very knowledgeable presentations that were straight to the point and clearly had a lot of experience in expanding into international markets.”

Hayden BrassZea

“Privileged to participate in the Vision 2022 Intensive program with Cynthia and a diverse range of entrepreneurial business owners looking to fast track international expansion. The team offer highly experienced guidance in identifying risks, uncovering blind spots, and thinking about growth challenges in new ways. Safe hands for navigating uncharted territory.”

Danielle NugentCapitaliz

“Just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to your Global Reach Forum. Even though I worked for NZTE for nearly 10 years I don’t think I have been at a more illuminating day on international expansion. Congratulations to you and your team for a great day. If we have any clients looking to go offshore you will be on our speed dial.”

Steven CronshawBentley Partners
