Bio: The son of a Yorkshire coal miner, Adrian began his career as a police officer in Bristol. However, unable to contain an entrepreneurial urge and a burning desire to “do something different”, he soon found himself setting up a highly innovative dairy business, before successfully diversifying into a wide range of other areas ranging from frozen food to recruitment and property.
Armed with a genuine love and proven talent for selling, Adrian entered the IT industry, where he quickly established himself as one of the UK’s top sales professionals. From Corporate Sales Manager of US Robotics, he moved to leading distributor Northamber plc as Group Sales & Training Manager, where he led a team of 150 to phenomenal success, and discovered his ability to inspire others.
Today, Adrian is one of the UK’s most sought-after motivational speakers, specialising in delivering inspirational key messages and practical tools in a humorous, down-to-earth style audiences can easily relate to and remember.
Presentation Summary: This presentation explores how an organisation’s internal culture profoundly influences both the quality of work and the well-being of its employees. It will focus on the ways in which a positive, inclusive and supportive culture can enhance productivity, job satisfaction and mental health. Attendees will gain insights into creating environments that foster engagement and motivation, and learn about the detrimental effects of toxic cultures.
