Adrian's Speaking Expertise

36 Years of Experience

Inspirational

My first aim in every keynote or workshop delivered is to leave audiences as inspired as they can possibly be. The core component of my story, reaching the 3 Poles of the Earth, is that primary inspiration.

However, this only forms a part of the story. Linking that inspiration to solid lessons for individuals and corporations is a key component of my work. In this, I bring numerous lessons from my coaching, corporate and military background to complement the experience.

Inspiring people, and companies, to achieve big things and fulfill their highest potential is that main aim.

26 Years of Experience

Personal Development

The aim in all this is to develop people in a way that goes far deeper than normal adventure based keynotes. My coaching background again provides the key to this, and my seminars give a large number of core coaching principles and tools for audiences to take away and use in their personal and business lives.




36 Years of Experience

Leadership

I personally believe this subject is given more air and print time than is usually warranted - with a lot of waffle. I aim to 'cut the crap' and get to the real meat of what leadership means and how to achieve it.
