Motivational Workshops

Jim Lawless

Jim is a pioneer in the fields of change and performance shift, acclaimed author, and motivational speaker. He has inspired and empowered half a million people across five continents with his engaging talks on change and innovation, and through his book Taming Tigers.

Jamil Qureshi

Jamil is an internationally acclaimed performance coach who specialises in maximising the talent of individuals and teams. He’s helped sportspeople like David Coulthard and Darren Clarke enhance their performance and has helped six sportspeople to reach number one rankings in their fields. Believing that in order to do differently we must first think differently, Jamil considers how to create mindsets and attitudes that truly drive performance in business and sport, and how to challenge beliefs and shift perceptions.

Kate & Helen Richardson-Walsh

The nail-biting finale to the Rio 2016 Olympic hockey final provided one of the most memorable moments of the Games for British fans. For the scorer of the winning penalty (Helen) and the long-serving team captain (Kate) it was the pinnacle of two international careers stretching over 15 years. With lessons in overcoming setbacks, building a winning culture, teamwork and leadership, the first same-sex married couple to win gold in the same team also reveal how the team changed, life in the Olympic Village, and their views on inclusion and diversity.

Steve Backley

Steve won medals in three consecutive Olympics and set three world javelin records. He was in the top ten for a decade, ranked No1 for three years. Steve shows how to plan for success, believe in yourself, enjoy rivalry and stay passionate about what you’re doing. He also demonstrates the cost of complacency and what happens when you rest on your laurels: “If you want to continue to be the best in the world, you must behave and compete as if you’re only the second best.”

Dr Javier Bajer

Javier is an eminent cognitive psychologist, and an authority in leadership development. He challenges the conventions of talent management, arguing it’s not about hiring the right types or imposing change. Instead the focus must be on creating the culture to drive change. He also shows that the most successful leaders align their beliefs, promises and actions. We become so intent on short-term results that we start to forget there is purpose as well as profit.

Steve Barnett: The Silent Conductor

For nearly thirty years Steve has been engaging and animating audiences through musical interaction, without speaking, and creating unique orchestras. The players are not musicians, there are no rehearsals, and every performance is a one off. He has conducted these ensembles in over fifty countries with organisations from many cultures and languages. The music they create amazes and inspires. Steve says nothing but the experience speaks volumes.

Charlie Cannon

Psychologically trained coach Charlie takes individuals, teams, and leaders of organisations to new heights of performance. As a people performance specialist and resiliency expert his high-energy, interactive keynotes and masterclasses draw upon extensive research and personal experience that arm audiences with life-changing tools.

Glenn Catley

The former world super-middleweight champion is now both a Eurosport pundit and a hypnotherapist, helping young people back into work. After dinner he talks about coming face to face with a man who wants to render you unconscious. He also explains why he failed to hypnotise himself.

Dr Ed Coats

Ed was chosen to join Cracknell and Fogle in a race to the South Pole. They skied for 16 hours each day and came in second – without any polar experience. In his workshop the hospital doctor uses storytelling and mindfulness techniques to give participants the tools to embrace challenge and live for the moment. Ed shows how exploring our feelings, opening up to change, managing criticism and agreeing short-term goals helps us withstand extreme pressure.
