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"...

“Dit helpt mijn witte vlekken te benoemen en het geeft zicht op de richting die ik uit moet. Ik ben over een drempel gestapt en ben in de flow gekomen. Ik zoek nu naar nieuwe wegen en heb ons crowdfundinginitiatief, na twee dagen met jullie, veel dichter tegen mezelf aan gepositioneerd. We zijn net twee weken bezig en hebben al meer donaties dan in de tien maanden daarvóór."

“Miles was sensational as the opening speaker at the Million Dollar Round Table conference in California and his presentation skills to some 9,000 delegates from 80 countries was captivating. BRAVO!”
Ken Carter
"Your input to the AB Sciex European Sales Conference in Nice was perfect - exactly the right way to send the delegates off after a busy couple of days and you definitely hit home on the "Think Bigger, Go Further, Beyond Limits" theme.I think the spontaneous meeting in the bar for that welcome cold beer was testament to their happiness at the end of a very successful event!"
Alain Denizet
"I would like to thank you again for the outstanding speech you delivered during our Sanofi Intercontinental Region Leadership Kick off meeting here in Paris. People were delighted!At the end of the conference we ran a small satisfaction survey and you scored very high. 100% of those who answered said that they were satisfied with the speech including 89% who said that they were “very satisfied”. Perhaps a new record for you, however not a speed or altitude one!"

“We have worked with Miles on a number of events - the team find his vision, ambition and desire to push out the barriers, truly inspirational - it is rare in feedback for any speaker to score so highly and to have such an impact on any event.“
Jamie Ritchie
"I have to say that Miles was brilliant and an absolute inspiration to our audience, his balance of speaking and media was just right, using his adventure challenges in our Airbus business context really well! Miles had the desired effect I was looking for which was to wake people up from there day to day issues and pessimism and really start to think of things differently! Our CEO Bernhard was particularly taken by Miles and his speech, the three of us spent a few hours having a bite to eat together and a few glasses of wine into the evening, it was a pleasure!!! Miles was a triumph!"
Elisabeth Svanberg MD, PhD
