What difference will the power of possibility
make to you or your audience?

My experiences of achieving great successes and overcoming great adversity have shown me the power of positive, inspiring words. I have made it my mission to be good enough to help others through my own words. It is my hope that I may have the privilege of sharing some of those words with you and your audience.

From my heart to yours,

P.S. My signature topics are outlined below, but I would also be delighted to discuss your needs and tailor a speech to meet them.

Breakthroughs Begin with Belief
(or the Art of Possibility)
Inspirational Keynote: 30, 60 or 90 minutes

What is it that enables some people to achieve something that other people think is not possible? More often than not, it is simply the fact that they believe it is possible, because when you believe in possibility, you focus on how, not whether or not, you can achieve.

In this presentation Ronald shares how he creates and maintains a sense of possibility, even in the face of apparent impossibility, and how your audience can too.

His stories, of investing into a software company (during a recession and against every bit of advice bar his own intuition) that went on to sell for $160M, and of overcoming a traumatic brain injury, will inspire and motivate your audience to look at challenges from a fresh perspective, one that will enable them to achieve more breakthroughs in their own lives.

Traumatic Brain Injury – the Internal War
Motivational Talk: 30, 45 or 60 minutes

An inside perspective on living through TBI, from someone who has come out the other side.

Does your audience have friends or family members affected by TBI? Are they going through their own difficulties as they learn to support them? In this presentation, Ronald creates a bridge that will help friends, family and carers get a better understanding of what it is like to live with brain trauma.

They will learn first hand about the stresses, anxieties, frustrations and isolation that exist in that world, and hear about the raging internal battles that can go on as survivors try to perform formerly simple tasks. Armed with this new knowledge they will be better able to support someone with TBI and create an environment that will accelerate recovery and healing.

Entrepreneurial Insights on TBI
for Military Personnel
Motivational Talk: 30, 45 or 60 minutes

Military personnel have an advantage over many civilians when it comes to TBI recovery, because they are already trained in so many of the disciplines that help people recover. Courage, determination, self-reliance, these are all vital for healing. But full healing also requires entrepreneurial skills that are perhaps less suited to a high performing, close-knit military unit.

In this talk Ronald presents his own recovery strategy, seeking entrepreneurial ways to retrain his brain and discovering some quite unusual answers along the way. Your audience will learn how the military training can be harnessed for recovery, and why, at times, healing is best served by exploring totally different approaches.
