 Motivational
speaker KEN
HAMES has just returned from Nicaragua, having filmed a remarkable expedition
for BBC TV.Ken led a group of 12 disabled people (including one person in a wheelchair) through some of the harshest terrain on earth, from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast on a trek which lasted three weeks. It took the group through uncharted jungle, swamps, lakes and over volcanoes. The programme, which will show Ken’s leadership and teambuilding skills being put to the ultimate test, is called Beyond Boundaries, and is currently scheduled to be broadcast as four one-hour programmes in the autumn. |

ANNE
LISE KJAER was described by The Times as a “Creator of Inspirational
Futures”. Her unique world vision was defined by Matthew Temple in
the Financial Times thus: ‘as fertile as Dali’s only she creates
social prototypes…based on nascent trends.’ But Kjaer’s
real talent is to create clarity out of the many and complex micro trends
that threaten to overwhelm and confuse us. By defining future consumers,
she breathes life and inspiration into the serious business of marketing
into the 21st century. |

JIM
LAWLESS is one of the few motivational speakers who puts his money where
his mouth is. Challenged by a friend, Jim trained to become a jockey, having
never sat on a horse before! His presentations are motivating and inspiring
and his audiences are able to take away and use practical tools that will
enhance performance. Jim himself is no stranger to the challenges and rewards
of change: in fact he delights in studying and speaking about how to reach
your personal or team potential. |
