DUNCAN
GOODHEW
Duncan Goodhew is one of the world's most respected and instantly recognizable
athletes.
The twin misfortunes
of losing
his hair when
he was 10
years old
and being
dyslexic spurred
Duncan on
to win the
Bronze Gold
Medal in the
4 x 100 Meter’s
Medley Relay
at the Moscow
Olympics.
His TV appearances
and his impressive
athleticism
combined to
make Duncan
a household
name and his
absolute determination
made his a
national hero.
In his book
‘Sink
or Swim’,
Duncan has
drawn of the
events of
his own life
and the long
and arduous
grind of training
for competitive
swimming –
where your
skills will
be judged
on a performance
which is over
in just a
few minutes.
He addresses
issues such
as ‘how
to get yourself
motivated
and stay motivated’
and that ‘success
is an entirely
individual
matter’.
This can be
applied to
home and family
as well as
the work place
and focuses
on making
sure you set
your own criteria
for achievement,
rather that
simply trying
to meeting
the expectations
of other people
– it
redefines
the nature
of success,
and how to
achieve it.
Since 1981
Duncan has
presented
well over
200 motivational
speeches to
many of Britain's
leading companies,
including
Exxon, Prudential,
IBM and Coutts
and set up
an Executive
Survival Clinic
for Coopers
and Lybrand.
Duncan's
success with
the BT Swimathon
is well known.
From its inception
in 1988, Swimathon
has raised
over £10
million for
worthwhile
causes and
is one of
BT's most
successful
sponsorship
campaigns.
Duncan's
considerable
sporting and
business experience,
combined with
his pleasing
manner, informed
approach and
articulate
delivery,
make him a
natural choice
for Personal
Appearances,
Motivational
and After
Dinner Speaking,
Corporate
Days and Promotions.
One of the world's most respected and instantly recognizable athletes, Duncan
also won bronze
medal for
the 4 x 10m
Medley Relay
in the Moscow
Olympics.
From 1981
Duncan has
presented
over 200 motivational
speeches to
many of Britain's
leading companies,
including
Exxon, Prudential,
IBM and Coutts
and set up
