Motivational speaking

...Walk away feeling inspired and empowered

 

“A really fantastic session, enjoyed by all present. “Inspirational” was mentioned several times. Your illustration of the power of visualisation and other performance tools was fantastic and you showed how they can be used in a very practical and powerful way.”

- Peter Pritchett, Academy of Chief Executives

 

Anna's motivational speaking showreel

As a six times world champion canoeist and highly accomplished motivational speaker Anna Hemmings knows what it takes to succeed. She is adept at taking the lessons learned in sport and relating them back in to the business environment. Her story of commitment, self-belief and success in the face of adversity translates well in every arena because she has the ability to connect with, inspire, entertain and motivate audiences across the board.

 

In April 2003 Anna was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and told by medical experts that she might never race again. Despite being told there was no solution, Anna's 'never give up' attitude, along with Reverse Therapy treatment enabled her to make a full recovery. Between 2005 and 2007 she went on to win a hat-trick of three world titles in a row and to become an Olympian for the second time, competing at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Anna has a total of eleven World and European Championship medals, confirming her status as Britain's most successful ever female canoeist.  

Why Anna?

 

"Anna is able to take examples from the very competitive world of sports and use them as great tools that can be applied to business and personal endeavours.”
- Mary Kay Galvin, Assistant Director, Canon USA, Inc
