What will The Motivation Experience offer?

The Motivation Experience will offer a range of motivational speaking and motivational mountain leading. I can offer you a motivational speech, or motivate you to climb a mountain, or a combination of the two. Why not book a few days of mountain walking with motivational speeches in the evenings.

I can speak on a variety of motivational topics, here are a few suggestions, but happy to discuss others:

· Coping with Change – As a future technologist I always saw change as a welcome opportunity, and hence was involved in a number of change initiatives within the company. I then went through an unwelcome change in my life and gained an insight into how the mind-set of those who resist change. I called on all my skills in managing change to rebuild my life and turn the change into an opportunity.

· How to promote Innovation – I have been working in research and innovation since graduating 1985, so have been promoting innovation since before the word was popularised within business. Therefore, much of my experience with innovation is self-taught; however, I have also studied the science of innovation. I can provide guidance on how to promote it in your business, and motivate your staff to unleash the innovation that everyone has.

· Personal Development – My work motivating individuals on early careers programmes and those new to a business has taught me much about the variety of people and what motivates them. I can pass this experience onto others in order to help them plan their own personal development.

· How to Succeed – I worked my way up to what I believe to be the most exciting engineering job in the world. It was not always easy, but I learnt from every step on the journey. I can help others understand what success looks like for them; how to plan to achieve it; and what pitfalls to look out for on the way.

· Coping with Difficulties – Everyone will suffer setbacks in their life, some will be serious while others might appear to an onlooker as trivial. However, for the individual their problem will always be forefront in their mind and impact their performance. By sharing my own story of personal tragedy and how I learned to cope I can help others develop coping strategies.

· How to Climb an Mountain – By sharing my experiences in climbing mountains and undertaking extremely long challenge walks, I can help others climb their own mountain. Whether this is a real physical mountain or a metaphor for the challenge in your life, I would like my story to inspire you.

The other side of the business is about mountain leading. This may seem like a strange combination of business offerings, but I believe that the motivation required to succeed can be found both in sharing experiences and in achieving a physical goal. As well as providing a sense of achievement, walking in the mountains can be a tremendous teambuilding exercise and is a great way to keep fit.

Here are a few ideas of what you might want to let me organise for you:

· Lead walk in a mountainous or lowland area - As an experienced walker I can not only ensure your safety but also take charge of, or help you with, walk planning, navigation and logistics.

· Teambuilding mountaineering – What better way to build your team than by work together to achieve a physical goal, and there is no more obvious achievement than standing on the summit of a mountain.

· Walking for fitness – Want to get a bit fitter, walking is a great way to achieve this. I can motivate you to get started and provide a lot of practical advice along the way.

I believe almost anyone can be motivated to climb a mountain. You might not think you are fit enough, but I believe everyone can achieve more than they think and will gain a huge sense of achievement by summiting.
