By the time he was 26, Dominic Colenso had flown a spaceship, lost a million dollars, and been fired by Simon Cowell. A former Hollywood actor, theatre director and teacher at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he now helps leaders, sales teams and organisations cut through the noise and perform at their best when it matters most.
Dominic’s work sits at the intersection of performance and business. Drawing on his experience on stage and screen, he translates the tools used by world-class actors into practical communication strategies for the workplace. The focus is not just on “presenting better”, but on clearer thinking, stronger presence and messages that land under pressure.
An expert storyteller, Dominic is especially known for his work with clients in tech, finance and professional services. He helps detail-focused subject matter experts find their voice, simplify complex ideas and deliver compelling leadership, sales and pitch narratives, whether in the room or on camera.
Beginning his career as a professional actor, Dominic went on to train as a director at RADA. He has performed on at The National Theatre and The Royal Court, appeared in BBC dramas, and is best known for playing Virgil Tracy in the Hollywood remake of Thunderbirds alongside Bill Paxton and Sir Ben Kingsley.
For over fifteen years, Dominic has applied this experience to business. His keynotes and workshops draw on the methodologies from his bestselling books IMPACT and Cut-Through, offering practical frameworks for storytelling, message distillation and confident delivery. Audiences leave with tools they can apply immediately, not theory that stays in the room.
Dominic works with individuals at all levels, from the C-suite to graduate new-joiners, and has spoken, coached and trained for blue-chip organisations on six continents. He regularly delivers conference keynotes, leadership offsites, sales kick-offs and virtual masterclasses. His YouTube channel, sharing practical insights on communication, pitching and presence, has over 30,000 subscribers and 2.7 million views.
