“Ollie inspires leaders to overcome fear and reach new levels of success.”
His boundless energy, infectious enthusiasm, determination and positive attitude helped him transition from a career as a world-class professional rugby player to a business leader and motivator in the corporate world.
When injury forced Ollie to leave the only career he had ever known or wanted, he faced his toughest challenge yet.
Using the skills he honed on the rugby field, he channelled his focus into physical and mental endurance adventures, circumnavigating the globe, cycling across America, leading expeditions to the North Pole & Everest and more.
Ollie has led teams all over the world and his four Guinness World Records are testament to his ability to deliver.
Ollie provides a fresh corporate perspective, cleverly using his skills in management and applying it to ‘on the pitch’ tactics. His keynote speeches and workshops cover the likes of effective communication, change management, building a winning culture, resilient leadership, coaching and working as a team.
Ollie now applies his experience to help you overcome adversity and achieve success, through a variety of high impact interactive sessions that inspire positive change.
- Master your emotions
