Elevate Your Next Event
Hello, I’m an events speaker dedicated to providing audiences with practical, performance boosting take aways delivered through a truly entertaining and authentic lens.
My presentations are designed to:
- Stretch and Inspire: I don’t just talk about potential I show your attendees how to unlock measurable improvements in their personal and professional lives.
- Drive Immediate Results: Attendees leave with clear, actionable strategies for improved focus, better time management and higher overall performance.
- Connect Through Humour and Honesty: Drawing on the highs and lows of my life and sporting career, I use genuine humour and candid storytelling to forge a powerful connection. This relatability makes the serious lessons on teamwork, resilience and determination truly stick.
Why Book Me?
I provide an experience that is more than a motivational talk; it’s a masterclass in applying elite level resilience and determination to the daily challenges of business and life. I ensure your audience members understand how to translate the grit learned in high stakes sport into helping them be more and achieve more.
Let’s discuss how my message can make your next event your most impactful yet.
Do you want to get more from your people? Do you need to inspire them to be more and achieve more for your organisation? Do you want to show them how to stay motivated, through the tough times?
Enabling Your Best Team
It’s not all about the medals – but they will make an appearance!
This is a thought provoking, emotional and challenging speech. Hear how by joining his best team Ian changed from being a shy seven year old, teased about his disability and looks, into a successful IT Sales Consultant, Director of his own business and a double Paralympic medallist!
Ian delivers a powerful presentation that combines a deeply personal emotional narrative with actionable insights into high performance cultures. Drawing from the remarkable transformation of TeamGB and ParalympicsGB, which evolved from a 1996 crisis into a world leading sporting power, Ian demonstrates how breaking down silos, establishing trust and driving systematic alignment creates sustained success. He provides an inside look at how an individual athlete in judo thrived within a unified team structure, offering clear parallels for corporate leadership and team cohesion.
Ian doesn’t believe that practice makes perfect. He does believe that life is a constant path to progression. Let Ian inspire your audience to follow their own path and be empowered to be more, achieve more and above all, smile more.
