(SANEPR.com) March 30, 2009 -- 3-time Gold medallist Kriss Akabusi is one of the most highly thought of motivational speakers in the U.K. With a string of awards and personal achievements to his name, the former television presenter’s lively personality makes him the perfect candidate for motivational speaking.
Javelin world record holder Steve Backley delivers a theory-based approach to motivational speaking, focusing on the importance of self-belief, motivation and application as the route to success.
Sally Gunnell remains the only woman to hold four major track titles concurrently and is one of the most successful and popular of Britain’s female athletes. Following her retirement from athletics, she has enjoyed a successful career as a motivational speaker, as well as appearing on popular television programmes such as A Question of Sport.
A spokesperson for Raise the Bar commented on the new line up of motivational speakers, stating:
“These Olympic motivational speakers come from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, but all have one thing in common, they have all achieved excellence in their own particular field. It is the combination of hard work, dedication and persistence which have led to their achievements, and these are the attributes that make them so successful as motivational speakers.”
“At Raise the Bar, we firmly believe that sportspeople are the best candidates for motivational speaking, as they can offer tangible examples of success they have achieved. Often their triumphs will have come in the face of adversity and it is the strength of character that they exhibit which makes them invaluable as motivational speakers.”
