Paris Norriss's 2024 biography

Meet Paris Norriss

Paris Norriss is an explorer who brings adventures to life on screen through his various TV productions. Paris is currently filming “Guy in the Sky”, an adventure travel show that tells the story of some of the most interesting civilizations through time, across the globe, using his love for adventure sports to capture unique viewpoints from the sky, below the sea and across landscapes. He has dived to lost shipwrecks, dug for archeological artifacts below the city of Jerusalem and paraglided over ancient citadels.

Paris’s determination knows no bounds. In a remarkable feat, he triumphantly completed a rowing challenge across the Pacific Ocean in 2023, firmly establishing himself as one of the select few to conquer the arduous 4,800-kilometer journey, whilst raising £150,000 for The Blue Marine Foundation to support marine conservation. Telling his exhilarating stories of the adventures he has had through filming his TV shows, he draws on some critical lessons on the principals of teamwork, leadership, mental resilience, and gratitude that can be applied universally to improve team cohesion, cut out politics and align motivations to achieve the seemingly impossible.

As an advocate for adventure sports, Paris is a global ambassador for Padi and Cressi for scuba diving and Parajet for Paramotoring. He has also secured sponsorships from world renowned brands such as Land Rover, Tagheuer & Oakley.

Paris’ shows are broadcast in 123 countries to over 22 million people on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Tubi TV and on a number of airlines including Emirates Airlines, British Airways, Etihad and many more.

Regularly featured in international media as an advocate for adventure travel, Paris has a weekly segment on Dubai Eye radio, a monthly business column in The National newspaper and frequently a keynote speaker at live events on the subject.

In 2017 he founded GID Media Production which currently produces and distributes TV shows to subscription video on-demand platforms such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV, OSN and across airline inflight entertainment systems globally.

Paris received an M.A in Business Studies from Edinburgh University, majoring in finance.

Practicing what we preach, discipline and dealing with the emotional concerns of team members are some of the traits that we need to demonstrate and hone before realizing authority. The varying ways of designating a leader that gets buy-in from a team will be discussed as well as the power of the shadow leader in dealing with badly managed teams.
