Unleashing Authenticity
Taz Thornton is a force of nature. If you want to shake off complacency and smash through glass ceilings, then you need to meet Taz.
I initially started talking to her during lockdown although I’d seen her speak before and you could feel her energy instantly captivating the room. She wasn’t a typical motivational speaker spouting clichés nine to the dozen. Taz has a rare gift for connecting with people and igniting their inner fire.
Her journey is remarkable. She went from corporate burnout and rock bottom to becoming one of the UK’s leading inspirational business speaker. She’s faced abuse, broken her back, and battled depression. But she used those experiences to fuel a total life transformation.
Now Taz helps others do the same through coaching, events, and motivational speaking. Her #UnleashYourAwesome seminars blend Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques with Shamanic wisdom for lasting breakthroughs. As a coach, she guides clients to discover their authentic voice and build a powerful personal brand.
Taz’s talks are unforgettable, often using props like arrows and broken glass. She’s been called “inspirational,” “life-changing,” and “motivational.” Major companies bring her in to revitalise struggling teams.
A bestselling author, Taz’s books include “Whispers from the Earth” and “Unleash Your Awesome.” She’s appeared on TV, radio, and in publications like Huffington Post and DIVA magazine.
What sets Taz apart is her focus on authenticity. She helps people rediscover their passion and build businesses aligned with their true selves. Her unique blend of corporate experience and tribal communication tools creates profound shifts.
If you’re looking for a speaker to wow your audience and catalyse real change, Taz Thornton delivers. She’ll have people looking up from their phones, seeing new possibilities, and choosing to reach for them.
Transforming Lives Through Fitness
Meet James Hilton, a personal trainer whose journey is as inspiring as the clients he transforms. I met James when he was starting to make waves and his story immediately captivated me.
James struggled with concentration at school, but he found his calling in sports and competition which has been a constant in his life — though not his career in the early days. He first took up a practical career in sales. His first steps were hesitant, but he succeeded eventually in London and abroad.
But a family trip caused James to realise his true path was elsewhere. The journey reignited his love for exercise and wellness, causing a profound shift in his career and life purpose.
Today, James is a certified gym instructor and personal trainer who works with people in his Cotswold premises and over in his online virtual gym Jim’s Gym, specifically aimed at the oer 55s. He brings empathy and specialised knowledge to this demographic, setting him apart in the fitness world.
James translated his vision into reality and that’s impressive. He’s opened a gym in Stroud — not a typical crowded fitness centre, a private oasis equipped with state-of-the-art machinery for comprehensive training. It’s a space designed to make clients feel comfortable and motivated, regardless of their fitness level.
James’s story is that of resilience and growth. He’s used his experience — both triumphs and setbacks — to fuel a mission empowering others through fitness. Whether working one-on-one or speaking to groups, James brings infectious energy and genuine passion to everything he does.
If you’re looking for a speaker to inspire audiences about embracing change, overcoming obstacles, and prioritising health, James Hilton is the one for you. His journey offers valuable insights for anyone considering a career pivot or seeking motivation to pursue their dreams.
Empowering Riders, Unlocking Potential
I was impressed by Tracey Cole’s warmth and expertise when I met her a few years ago. As a Master Trainer in Neuro Linguistic Programming, she holds the highest qualifications in her field. She’s also accredited in Time Line Therapy®, NLP Coaching, and Hypnotherapy. She’s an expert anxiety, self-doubt, or lack of confidence.
Tracey is a keen equestrian and she knows first hand how debilitating nerves can be when riding. This has sparked her commitment to helping equestrians conquer mental obstacles and achieve peak performance.
“I enjoy working with equestrians of all levels, helping them ride the way they know they could, if only their mind would let them,” Tracey says.
Her expertise extends beyond horses. Tracey coaches business owners battling imposter syndrome and people struggling with stress, depression, and anxiety. Her core focus is helping them make profound mindset shifts to unlock their potential.
As a speaker, Tracey is in high demand. She’s written for major equestrian publications and spoken at events like Blenheim International Horse Trials. Her speaking topics encompass subjects that include mindset matters, relief from anxiety, stress reduction, mental performance for sport, using NLP effectively, and the benefits of hypnotherapy. These all show her expertise in helping equestrians improve their mental game and overall performance.
What sets Tracey apart is her ability to explain complex concepts in a down-to-earth way, a skill she attributes to her years in education.
If you’re looking for an inspiring speaker who provides practical tools for mindset transformation, think of Tracey Cole. She’ll empower your audience to make positive changes.
