Your host & inspirational speaker
John Sullivan
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A SPEAKER TO INSPIRE your audience at your next event?
I will take your audience on a journey of adventure, suspense and discovery, bringing together a wealth of personal experiences, failures and successes. My talks are littered with travel stories and are inspired by my greatest passions of the natural world, surviving the elements and the people of the most remote regions of the planet.
I will engage your audience to reflect on and evaluate their own professional and personal experiences and to help them not to fear change or adversity, to learn that they are a part of life. I aim to provide humour and imaginative use of video to keep your audience captivated and like to add a few twists and surprises along the way!
