Over Miles Hilton-Barber
Blind Adventurer and international motivational speaker Miles Hilton-Barber is one of the most widely sought-after motivational speakers on the world circuit today, having had the privilege of speaking at over 1,400 corporate events in 74 countries to date. Despite losing his sight in his early 20’s, His quality of life and level of success was radically transformed at the age of 50, not through sight restoration, but through changing his attitude to his blindness.
“Potential for growth and ongoing success for individuals, companies and organizations is not primarily dependant on a change in the economy or their circumstances- but a change in the ATTITUDE of their management and leadership towards their current circumstances” he says.
Since the age of 50 Miles has set numerous world records undertaking extreme endurance events across all seven continents of our world in the fields of mountaineering, desert and polar ultra-marathons, power-boat racing, scuba-diving, motor-racing and long distance, aerobatic and supersonic flying amongst other achievements.
His presentation outlines a radical yet simple set of life principles that will enable companies, individuals and organizations to become more successful today, despite facing unprecedented global change, wrapped up in a fast-moving, colorful and humorous presentation with photos and video clips from his many expeditions and adventures.
He will challenge you to look again at who you are, and how you can achieve so much more than you think you can in both your personal and business life, because “The only limits in your life are those you accept yourself”…

"Na kennismaking met Jan Dirk, kun je nooit meer nonchalant over een olifantenpaadje lopen. Hij weet op een enthousiasmerende manier de symboliek van olifantenpaadjes te vertalen naar dagelijks menselijk gedrag. Door de eenvoud en herkenbaarheid van het fenomeen, slaat het onderwerp bij een groot publiek aan."
