Brian is in great demand as a keynote speaker because of his high content high impact presentations that deliver results. His core belief is that organisations have people with hidden skills, talents and abilities and he is passionate about helping them unlock their true potential so they can “slay the dragons” of limiting self beliefs and fear of failure. Only then, he believes, will they discover the “hero that lies within” and become real agents of change making the business more successful and profitable. His core value is simplicity. He makes the stages of success simple and understandable so that everyone can leave the presentation with the “keys” in their own hands. “We spend our lives complicating things, whether that is our relationships or our business - we’re very good at making life difficult!”
Born and raised in Blackburn, Lancashire as one of six children, Brian quickly discovered
two early success principles:-
1. First up was always best dressed!
2. When it was bath night using a tin bath, you really didn’t want to be last in line!
He graduated from Loughborough and spent 12 yrs. teaching P.E. before deciding there was more to life than playing with balls and waiting for bells to ring! After working on several business ventures he set up his own company, Focusmotivation, in 1991 having finally found his passion – inspiring people to become all they can become.
Frustrated by the lack of clarity in management, he wrote his first book, “Insights for a 21st Century Manager”
He is not a celebrity, he has no Olympic Gold medal, he hasn’t climbed Everest, but he gives people the belief that they can change, that they have choices. He believes that not everyone can be an Olympic champion, but they can do a personal best. Not everyone can be a leader on the world stage, but they can be a leader in their community and family. Not everyone can be a famous celebrity or model, but they can be a role model for someone. They may not climb Everest, but they will have their own “mountains” to climb.
