“ I usually find it difficult to assess the impact that motivational speakers have on an audience, how much they actually take away with them and feel they can transplant into their everyday lives. This wasn't the case this time. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I talked to after the speech was lifted, inspired, motivated but most of all awe struck at what you have achieved.”
Andrew Ferguson, Senior National Account Manager, Ciba Vision (UK) Ltd.
“I can’t thank you enough for opening the 13th National Fundraisers’ Convention for us, with your motivational, stirring and amusing plenary session. The delegates were certainly buzzing throughout the rest of the day and evening and you brought the Convention alive! I lose count of how many delegates have requested a copy of the speech, a tape or a handout!”
Rachel Wawn, Convention Director, Institute of Fundraising.
"Miles does what he does to inspire others. If he can take on the walk to the South Pole, then a grandmother who is losing her sight might just feel able to take on the walk to the local Post Office. I've never met anyone whose courage is being used to such great effect"
Steve Hood, Arrows Formula One Team - Head of Marketing.
"Miles has a wonderfully inspiring attitude to life. His simple 'life rules' make living a more rewarding experience, and help you to focus on the important things in life that can make a real difference."
David Thompson, Service Business Manager - Operations, Rolls-Royce PLC.
"Miles is a truly inspirational speaker - we all left the room thinking of new possibilities in our lives."
Josephine McCabe, HR Manager, BP LPG Europe.
" Miles has achieved more in his lifetime than a dozen others put together. His courage and sheer determination to succeed are inspirational. Any business striving for success should hear his message."
Ray Bradbury, Qatar British Business Forum, BAE Systems.
“Miles is extraordinary. I have travelled all over the world and been through physical hardship with many companions but working beside him was remarkable. In crossing the 200-km stony Qatar Desert without support he never really flagged and he only fell twice - less often than I did! Frankly, his blindness was my eye opener and he gives a great talk.”
Dr Mike Stroud OBE, (World record holder for 1,350 mile/97 day unsupported Antarctic crossing with Sir Ranulph Fiennes).
“I found your talk absolutely gripping, humbling & inspirational.”
Tom Wedge, Business Development Director, Ciba Vision (UK) Ltd
