________________________________
"John Nichol has made a big impression. He
exceeded our expectations and has become a talking point within the organisation.
His presentation was very thought provoking: no one can fail to be
motivated." - Vice President sales,
Nortel Networks
"I have seen a lot of "motivational" speakers and
it is an understatement to say that you were a complete hit! To get that level
of interaction and attention from our team after nine hours hard graft speaks
for itself. Your talk was inspirational and very motivating, as well as
incredibly humbling....it certainly framed the day superbly, and will definitely
be talked about for many meetings to come!" – UK Sales Manager,
B&Q
"In a conference hotel outside Birmingham the audience has worked itself
into a lather of exhilaration, their minds worlds away from sales targets. The
music surges as Mr. Nichol walks off stage and the crowd goes wild. A straw poll
found the consensus among the audience feeling "uplifted" and
"able to take on any challenge". – The Economist
---------------------------------------------------------
The first the world saw of RAF Navigator John
Nichol was as a British prisoner of war, shot down during the Gulf War and
paraded on TV.
The traumatic weeks of capture which ensued gave
John a unique insight into the human capacity to deal with even the most severe
and disruptive change. Partly as a result of his own outgoing personality,
partly as a result of the experience itself, John Nichol is now able to present
a fascinating insight into what happens when our innermost reserves are tested
by external demands.
His entertaining account of what happened takes
his audience from the highly organised training and teamwork of an RAF squadron
to the isolation of being shot down and held in solitary confinement.
His experiences qualify him to speak with
unquestionable authority on not only surviving change but also turning it to
your advantage. Indeed his physical survival is due to his immense reserves of
personal strength, flexibility and the capacity to withstand upheaval and
uncertainty.
Describing himself as ‘an ordinary guy who
just happened to find himself in extraordinary circumstances’, John’s
message is one of optimism, inspiration and personal motivation. His personal
triumph lies in having discovered his potential to cope with extremes and
achieve goals way beyond his perceived horizons.
And John leaves his audience in no doubt –
that potential exists in all of us.
