Derwentside Business Network

We recently asked Gary to give a talk to members of Derwentside Business Network. Gary gave an honest, powerful, reflective and inspiring talk that made a huge impact on his audience. Gary was able to show how we can achieve a better life balance through simple changes to our lifestyle and our approach to business. Gary uses his own experiences to great effect and helping his audience to relate to what he is saying. Gary left everyone feeling inspired and highly motivated. We have had many requests to invite Gary back again and we’ll be doing that very soon.

I help others by way of Business Coaching and Motivational Speaking. Having once been crippled with fear over public speaking, one of my key talks is about overcoming our fears and limited self-belief.

In June 2017, I spoke to students at the Tyne Met College in Newcastle which was very well received. Tracy O’Neill, Learning Mentor said:

“Wow! Our learners were so impressed, as too were the staff regarding your speech today. The learners related to your real personal life story and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. All feedback was positive with some very rewarding comments regarding your motivation and enthusiasm. We would like to say thank-you so much for your visit Gary and for sharing your valuable time with our learners.

If possible we would be greatly appreciative to welcome you back in the new academic year for our new cohort of learners.

Many thanks once again, I am positive by reading the learners comments that you have inspired quite a few from the group today to be more self-motivated to achieve. Well Done!”

“Gary’s passion for his subject matter linked with real life experience is both refreshing and thought provoking.
Find some time to see Gary in action, you will not be disappointed”.

Gary delivered a thought provoking presentation on his approach to life in general told from a very personal perspective. Gary’s story was an inspiration and his message described just how important the choices we make in life can affect not just our working life but also our health and wellbeing. Just some of the phrases he delivered which made us think :-

  • Life can just slap you!
  • 3Cs of life – take a Choice to take a Chance to make a Change
  • Never stop learning!
  • Time is a great healer
  • Have a plan!
  • Think- Are you in a Rut?
  • Identify changes you need to make
  • Fix yourself before helping others
  • We all have 2 lives – one we are living now – one we are capable of living !
  • Think NOW
  • Think NIKE – Just Do It
  • Don’t be a busy fool
  • Focus your time – don’t get distracted – don’t hold pointless meetings!

“Gary and I met, whilst Gary presented an inspirational and motivational presentation to a variety of Apprentices. All of whom were from various backgrounds and of varies  disciplines, within Learning Curve at Middlesbrough.

Gary doesn’t hold back, he is a straight talking no – nonsense guy, who immediately grabs your attention with his vibrant persona. He immediately relates to all peer groups, and immediately engages and shares with you his personal life stories. He describes his stories and events with heart felt passion and brutal honesty! Regarding all of the personal ups, and at times severe downs, he has personally experienced!

Gary concluded his journey pathway with descriptive examples of how he set out to personally achieve his set targets and goals, and he shares with his audience his outcomes and how he strove to gain such success. If you don’t feel motivated by the end of his session you never will!!”
