TIM DRAKE

Tim Drake 

Tim's tailored talks share uplifting insights from his book You Can Be As Young As You Think.

Tim combines the insights of his latest book with those of his previous book (I Want to Make a Difference -5 Star rated on Amazon) to get to the heart of personal and group motivation.

We, and our colleagues throughout the organisation, want to release more of our natural enthusiasm. We have unfulfilled potential in both our personal and our 
work lives. Tim helps us find the key to unlocking it.

To do this, Tim explains the Six Wisdoms of Youth, which will allow us to re-discover the freshness, energy, enthusiasm and engagement of our younger selves. 

His central message is that tapping into our inner youthfulness and desire to make a difference will energise both us, and the organisation we work for. 

Colleagues want to feel pride and a buzz 
in their work. Customers too are looking for a sense of purpose -as well as freshness and openness - in the organisations they deal with.

Tim helps organisations deliver this, and make a difference.

TOPICS

SHARPER LEADERSHIP, ENERGISED TEAMS

Individuals and teams can operate far more effectively, and fulfill much more of their potential, if they can re-find their 
Young Brains. 

Tim shows your people how to get rid of their Old Brained anxieties, fears, doubts - and grumpiness - and get back to their excited, youthful selves. 

They will become more in touch with what is going on in society -and how their customers are thinking and feeling. They will anticipate changes in consumer tastes and will be more creative, optimistic and enthusiastic -about their jobs, their markets and their lives.

YOUNG BRAINED SERVICE 

Customers today can smell at fifty paces whether they are valued by the organisation they are dealing with. Great service is the result of Young Brained enthusiasm providing genuine value. There is reciprocity of enjoyment and engagement in what Tim calls Walking in Customers' Shoes Service. If some of your front line staff have Old Brains, they need this session. 

BRAND REJUVENATION

Like sharks, brands need to keep moving to survive. And in saturated me-too markets, incremental change is not enough. Tim's session is a wake-up call for brand owners. The world is changing faster than we imagine.



TESTIMONIALS

'I think the Young Brain/Old Brain concept is brilliant. It's both easy to grasp and true -for both everyday life and business. You need a Young Brain to be effective in both. I believe that I already have a relatively young brain but, thanks to the insights in your session, it is getting younger by the day now!' 
MIKE TOMKINS, CHAIRMAN, M & M DIRECT 

'Your speech was spot on in terms of style, content and timing. All the feedback I have received has been positive and the fact that you were able to correctly identify the key issues which we are dealing with, both in terms of business focus and people development made what you had to say highly relevant.'
