SALLY GUNNELL
O.B.E.
Sally holds a place in the hearts of the nation as one of the most popular female sportswomen of our times, and our most successful. She is the only woman to hold four titles concurrently - Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth.
To many she was 'the girl next door', the daughter of an Essex farmer whose warm and easy going manner belied her incredible sporting achievements.
Since retiring through injury, she has become a mother and immersed herself in a burgeoning career away from the track. Principally this has involved the health, fitness and well-being market through broadcasting and writing, including principal roles with the BBC, The British Heart Foundation and Sport England.
Her future strategy is firmly geared towards being the country's leading voice in bringing health and fitness to a wider audience through non-threatening and easy to understand principles.
Sally Gunnell's career on and off the track provides a unique insight into achieving a balance in life and proven recipes for success and
fulfillment. During her career she adopted key principles and routines with her 'team' that delivered the results most sports people can only dream of.
Now her off-track career has seen her combine television presenting, personal appearances and corporate work with community and charitable work.
'Be Your Best' is a motivational programme that relates to a wide cross-section of the business sector providing realistic goal setting and fresh approaches that can apply to everyone. It delivers easy to follow concepts that relate to the broadest spectrum possible.
It is based on a combination of the basic ideas in Sally's campaign for gold with some principles of Wellbeing both physical and mental that she has gleaned from four years working with leading names in these fields.
