Clive feels compelled to share his experiences and actively demonstrate that we do have the ability to overcome adversity.

With honesty and good humour, we can liberate ourselves and move forward, one step at a time. Clive’s message is one of resilience, hope and positivity. Just as the old saying goes, “I didn’t get this far just to get this far”.

Featured Speaker Quotes

Book of the Month

THE TRUE STORY OF A TEENAGER ON A MISSION TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD.

Alex’s debut book ‘Icefall’ tells the true story of overcoming adversity on a relentless journey to the top of the world, recalling the two consecutive biggest disasters in Everest history first-hand.

A suspenseful memoir marked by adventure, hardship, and achievement, Icefall is the remarkable true story of a teenager’s journey to conquer Mount Everest. Plagued by adversity and epilepsy as a child, Alex developed a determination and will to succeed that would ultimately lead him from his home in Cheshire, England to the face of Everest at only eighteen years old. Though his will to reach the summit was extraordinary, he could have never anticipated the unprecedented dangers and risks that the mountain had in store for him. In this inspirational tale of tragedy and redemption, Alex reveals the universal truth that adversity may be the greatest teacher of all, but nothing can teach you more about life than death.

Thank you Inspirational Speakers for your professionalism and for all the work done behind the scenes! From promoting and negotiating the contracts, to client speaker communication and logistics, invoicing and payments, I have appreciated all the ongoing work put in by Claire and her team.

We invited Martine Wright via International Speakers Ltd to speak at an annual business conference and the response and reaction was amazing. Martine inspired a whole room of individuals, prompted so much thought and generated a lot of great discussion. Martine has a very natural way of engaging people - and she delivered exactly what we asked for. Dealing with Claire at International Speakers Ltd was smooth and efficient - which was just what we needed when organising a full-on two day event for our team of circa 75 people. Thanks for making our event so memorable!

We are a Teaching School Hub who used one of the speakers from Inspirational Speakers Ltd - Andi Brierley. Both elements of this experience were excellent. Andi is one of the most talented, engaging and positive speakers I have ever met. He connects his own lived experience with a range of evidence linked to toxic stress and early childhood trauma. The topic came to life and brought a truly inspiring narrative together with the research. The delegates at the conference rated Andi very highly - they were personally touched and motivated to ensure their school cultures put some of the research into practice. Claire and IS Ltd were also fantastic. Always ready to respond to an email and support in any way possible. A very easy experience when hosting 5 different speakers for one event. We will definitely be coming back to this company again in the future.
