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”…

"Bijzonder vonden we ook dat Akwasi achteraf nog om feedback vroeg"
"Akwasi Frimpong heeft als keynote speaker op 7 mei 2018 tijdens het eindevenement van het vluchtelingenproject bij ProRail (hoofdkantoor in Utrecht) gesproken. De samenwerking met Akwasi verliep soepel. Door middel van telefoon/Skype vroeg Akwasi actief naar voor wie hij zou moeten spreken en hoe hij zijn verhaal hierop in kunnen zetten. Ook verliep alles goed op de dag zelf en zijn we niet voor verrassingen komen te staan. Bijzonder vonden we ook dat Akwasi achteraf nog om feedback vroeg. Dit laat zien dat hij continu wil leren en elke dag opnieuw voor het uiterste wilt gaan.
Vanwege zijn uitstraling en ambitie heeft hij het publiek (circa 100 mensen) meteen weten te boeien. Ook na het verhaal was er voldoende ruimte voor de aanwezigen om vragen te stellen. Het publiek kenmerkt zich een afstand te hebben op de Nederlandse arbeidsmarkt. Akwasi heeft hen geïnspireerd tot het uiterste te gaan en je niet door je geschiedenis of huidige moeilijkheden tegen te laten werken. De aanwezigen van het event vonden Akwasi als keynote speaker zeker van bijgevoegde waarde en heeft een goede sfeer gebracht."

"I can't even imagine the difficulties of travelling in Polar Regions without being able to see things. I once was semi-blind in the Arctic and everything became doubly problematic. Total blindness would have been nightmarish. My admiration for Miles is enormous…”
