Anthony’s Story
near death
In 2006 I contracted:
- Influenza
- Streph Pneumonia
- Staphylococcus
- Sepsis
after returning from a school trip to Disneyland Paris
Whilst in Hospital
- My heart stopped 12 times
- Was given 10% chance of survival
- Spent 21 days on an ECMO life support machine
- Relearned how to breathe, sit, stand and walk unaided
£7.5m
2012 - Played a key role in securing a £7.5m charity partnership between
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and Whitbread PLC
teamwork
Whitbread then offered me a role and I went on to help inspire and motivate a team of 20,000 team members
With a goal of £7.5m within 5 years, we raised £10m, which went towards a new cardiac wing at the children's hospital
A happy chappy
2015 - Names one of the happiest people in the UK, by the Independent on Sunday in their annual Happy List
A programme recognised by the then Prime Minster for 100 people that enrich the lives of others
Anthony Inspires
Inspiring and motivating people became an ever growing passion, so I started Anthony Inspires Ltd
The positive impact speaking had on people made me want to learn more about the art of storytelling
Favourite Speaker
2017 - Risky Business. A two-day conference, 50 global speakers. I was voted favourite speaker!
A Positive Ripple
From schools to corporate and healthcare conferences adapting my speaking style to suit the audience
Far & wide
Audiences grew bigger and enquiries began to come in worldwide
Who would have thought my biggest fear (speaking in front of people) would become my biggest passion in life!
Why?
Words are powerful and have the ability to change a person’s perspective
And who knows just how far that positive ripple can travel..
