Topics:
John Sullivan is a former Royal Marines Commando of nine years’ experience. He has operated in some of the world’s most challenging environments – Jungle, Desert and Arctic. John’s passion in life is to explore with a sense of purpose.
Working alone, this has taken him to some of the remotest corners of the world to research and set up factual programmes for the
BBC and the National Geographic Channel.
He has also led numerous life-changing conservation expeditions for young people to Namibia, Belize and Borneo. Advisor to the BBC, Channel 5 and other Media Organisations John has excelled in the realm of freelance consultancy. He has remarkable first-hand knowledge of many remote regions of the world. He develops unique networks of in-country contacts – often local tribes. John uses these to advise media groups and expedition leaders on how best to deal with the cultures and natural environments of the countries they plan to explore.
John’s delivery invites his audience to reflect on and evaluate their own professional and personal experiences. He helps us not to fear change or adversity, to learn that they are a part of life – that being a victim is a matter of choice.
John is a master story-teller. He takes his audience on a journey of adventure, suspense and discovery.
He brings together a wealth of personal experiences including:
Failures and successes, Appreciation of research, preparation, teamwork and leadership –
his ability to make hard decisions, belief and trust in the talents and abilities of others and he joys of discovery and meeting new people.
How getting into the habit of carrying out small routine tasks helps avoid problems in the future.
There’s nothing like a period of sustained tropical isolation to appreciate how ‘stickability’ will always see you through.
Learning to accommodate different character types with the group – making each one feel valued.
Learning how change is not to be feared but welcomed – change can be a genuine life-enhancing experience.
Following his experiences with the tribes of Borneo and Papua New Guinea, John has gained a unique perspective on the urgent issues facing our planet. He has unbounded admiration for the way in which remote tribes cherish each and every element of their surroundings.
John has learned how it only takes a few steps along a path of your choosing to gain a winning mentality, unbeatable confidence and self-esteem.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to John Sullivan who came to our school to deliver a speech at our awards evening for Year 9. He did a fantastic job, his speech was an excellent balance of motivation humour and inspiration. He kept us all gripped for 20mins. Many of out 300 guests have spoken to or contacted me since to say that he was the best speaker we have had in many years.
John Sullivan and his experiences were both entertaining and extremely interesting. Highy recommended; something you are likely not to see or hear again.
