Public speaking

My public speaking was something I fell into.

For many years, I motivated people to become better versions of themselves through fitness.

I trained people, not how they thought they were, but what I believed they could become. These were not false beliefs on my side but based on what I saw from people, I just knew that there was more potential than even they believed.

They say that lots of people go to bed lacking physical nutrition due to not enough food, but even more people go to bed hungry for recognition and appreciation. This in turns to lack of belief. Just helping somebody achieve more than they thought is an incredible step forward for me and them.

From a very young age, I had listened to motivational speakers and spiritual leaders on tapes (I say tapes, because that’s how long ago it was). Greats like Zig Ziglar, Norman Vincent Peale, Jim Rohn. More recently, my greatest mentor to date, Les Brown. There have been so many speakers that I have listened too, in fact, my children, who are all successful adults now, will tell you, that that was all dad would play in the car. When I had boring jobs, my headphones would be on and I would be listening to something inspirational or spiritual.

Now something incredible happened to me. I was about to end my life at a very young age. I was homeless, penniless, and serious family problems. Then it spoke to me and turned my life around. It was a line from a movie that was playing in the background. You will have to visit my Lifescript site to find out exactly what it was. But that line changed everything.

I soon found that I was getting so much help from film scripts. I’d watch a film with other people and I would hear something and get goosebumps. I’d ask the others but somehow they had missed it. I would have to explain it to them before they got the message too.

So, I started to write down all these movie quotes and my translation of them. I didn’t what I was going to do with them but I knew I had to write them down.

Then, while listening to Les Brown, he explained that everyone is born into a script but you don’t have to follow that script. He explained that to be successful in life, you need to have a story. My eyes opened wide as that’s exactly what I was doing with my film scripts. These were messages to help people change the script they were born into and this WAS my story.

The problem, that could easily have been the reason for me NOT doing it, was that I had so many bits of paper with notes on it. Where do I even start?

Then I watched my partners favourite film called Misery, where a successful author goes away to write. It goes quite badly for him but the message for me was that I needed to be away from all of life’s distractions.

I booked a few days away. I just wanted a balcony with a sea view and an inexpensive hotel I Tenerife beckoned. So off I went with all my bits of paper with notes on them. Here’s an images of a sheet of paper where I was trying to connect all the movies into some type of order.

Well, the rest is history. In those few days, my mind just flowed and I could see everything clearly. By the time I had got home, I had the full presentation and script for my public talk called Lifescript - motivation through the movies.

I’ve delivered the talk to the general public, to organisations and to offenders in the justice system.

I want you to look at something right now. Think of some goal you want or maybe its one you’re working on. Think of your relationships, your employment, your health, your dreams and aspirations. Have you experienced a lot of setbacks, a lot of defeats, a lot of disappointments, a lot of stress? Maybe you have already given up. Maybe you just need a little fire, a little encouragement to get back on track again.

There are winners and there are people who have not discovered how to win. There are people who are just going through life instead of growing through life.

All you need is some coaching, all you need is some help and assistance, just a little support. All you need is some insight, or a different strategy or plan of action to make some adjustments, you just need the keys to open up the doors to a whole new future for you. That will give you access to the happiness and success you deserve. That’s all you need.
