Blinde avonturier en internationaal motivatiespreker Miles Hilton-Barber is een van de meest gevraagde motivatiesprekers ter wereld en heeft tot op heden het voorrecht gehad om te spreken op meer dan 1.400 bedrijfsevenementen in 74 landen. Ondanks dat hij begin twintig zijn gezichtsvermogen verloor, werd zijn levenskwaliteit en mate van succes op 50-jarige leeftijd radicaal getransformeerd — niet door herstel van zijn zicht, maar door zijn houding ten opzichte van zijn blindheid te veranderen.
“Het potentieel voor groei en blijvend succes voor individuen, bedrijven en organisaties is niet primair afhankelijk van een verandering in de economie of hun omstandigheden — maar van een verandering in de HOUDING van hun management en leiderschap ten opzichte van hun huidige omstandigheden,” zegt hij.
Sinds zijn 50e heeft Miles talloze wereldrecords gevestigd door extreme duursportheidsprestaties te leveren op alle zeven continenten, op het gebied van bergbeklimmen, woestijn- en poolultramarathons, powerbootracen, duiken, autoracen en langeafstands-, kunstvlieg- en supersonisch vliegen, naast andere prestaties.
Zijn presentatie schetst een radicale maar eenvoudige set levensprincipes die bedrijven, individuen en organisaties in staat stellen om vandaag de dag succesvoller te worden, ondanks ongekende mondiale veranderingen — verpakt in een vlotte, kleurrijke en humoristische presentatie met foto’s en videofragmenten van zijn vele expedities en avonturen.
Hij daagt je uit om opnieuw te kijken naar wie je bent en hoe je zoveel meer kunt bereiken dan je denkt, zowel in je persoonlijke als zakelijke leven, want “De enige grenzen in je leven zijn die welke je zelf accepteert”…

"Dr. Marcia Goddard is a force of nature on stage and off, and her session on Artificial Intelligence in Recruiting at Engage London 2018 was the highest-rated breakout session of our entire conference. With more than 1,200 attendees from all over Europe, the pressure was on Marcia to provide a compelling and thought-provoking presentation, and she succeeded brilliantly in not only commanding the audience's attention, but also simplifying intensely complex technological ideas and synthesizing them into concepts that would resonate with both academics and non-academics alike. Her warmth and approachability combined with her ferocious intelligence and commitment to research makes her presentations unmatched in their quality."
“Miles is possibly the best value for money on the speaking circuit today…”
"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!"
“What can I say! I was reduced to tears and made to feel very humble by this gentleman. I have attended a lot of functions with guest speakers not one has taken a group of people on a rollercoaster of emotions… A truly inspirational man!”
“Miles is not only a global adventurer, he is also an entertaining presenter whose inspirational messages register with any culture. His witty stories, images and achievements captivated our group of Japanese employees, staff and customers, and they went away with renewed energy, motivation, and courage to tackle our business challenges as an effective team.”
"Many warm thanks for your presentation at the Global Established Products Summit at J&J earlier today. I cannot sufficiently tell you how appreciated your presentation was with the attendees! It set a good tone, demanding in a positive way, for the rest of our meeting."
“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!”
“This amazing man is an unparalleled force for motivation…”
