Inspirational Speakers and Role Models

Key to each Inspired Life programme is the use of role models sharing their inspirational stories about achieving goals, and overcoming adversity.

Our inspirational talks and workshops all reach an important cross roads where we ask the question ‘So What?’ and the remainder of the session is focussed on the participants dreams and aspirations.

Our role models include a wide range of motivational speakers and inspirational human beings who have pursued goals and dreams, achieved transformation and often transcended their environment to make a difference. Our speakers and positive role models include:

  • Business People,

  • Olympians and Paralympians

  • Explorers and Adventurers

  • World record holders,

  • Musicians and artists.

Certificates of Inspiration are given to participants to record their interests and passions, goals and long term dreams as part of our personal discovery process. This provides a tangible record of inspirational ideas, goal setting and big dreams.
