By age 24, Anna achieved three World Championships and competed in the Olympics, later earning an MBE in 2010.

Overcoming this, she won three more world titles and competed in the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
Since retiring, Anna has excelled as a speaker and Performance Coach, founding Beyond the Barriers consultancy. Her elite sport experience and business leadership provide valuable insights into overcoming challenges for outstanding results.
In her speeches, Anna Hemmings reveals the thinking, methodology and techniques she used to become a world champion 6 times and how those strategies can be applied directly to the business world.

She will take you on an inspiring journey and reveal the behaviours, actions and strategies that leaders need to be resilient and have impact.
