Steve Smith was only 23 years of age when he contested his second Olympic high
jump final at
The only major medal he was missing was one from the Olympics, a situation which
he rectified at
Steve Smith's career was cut short due to injury in 1999, but he has gone on to
be a successful Restaurateur and a broadcaster for Sky, Channel 4 and BBC, using
the techniques that brought him success as an athlete.
Realising that the tools he used as a sportsman were easily transferable into
the world of business he developed 'The Five Principles of Success' to share
with others and ultimately formed his own training company which is largely
based on his belief that you need to push yourself outside of your comfort zone
to achieve the very best that you can at the ultimate moment. Steve talks about
setting goals, working towards them and then bettering them. Continually raising
your own standards to be the best that you can be. He talks about the mental
focus required and translates all of his methods to the business world that he
enjoys today. Steve highlights his points with emotional anecdotal material from
his competitive days and clear examples from his business achievements.
‘Raising the Bar’ is an inspiring and thought provoking presentation.
Steve’s message is simple and effective
but none the less remains to be an important one that is easily forgotten in
today’s thriving economy. He can tailor the material to highlight key areas of
a given industry or incorporate specific company messages.
Steve delivers keynote presentations and seminars for a wide variety of clients,
always delivering his programmes with passion, enthusiasm and emotion.
"The
feedback from the team at Boots after Steve spoke at our communications event
was over-whelmingly positive. Steve is a very engaging speaker and has a
fantastic ability to draw parallels between his experiences as a top class
athlete and the challenges of the commercial world. He was able to inspire a
diverse (and sometimes cynical!) cross-section of people with everybody coming
away from the event feeling energised and motivated. I'm now looking at
opportunities to work with Steve again in the future, to build on the fantastic
success of this initial presentation." Boots
“We
would like to pass on our thanks to Steve Smith for delivering a fantastic and
inspiring presentation. The feedback we have received has been superb and we
feel that your presentation has really motivated our staff, providing them with
the tools and techniques to succeed in any chosen goal they have.” Lloyds TSB
