Adrian Hayes

Teams exist for one reason – to achieve results. Every organisation wants highly motivated and highly functioning teams and yet the vast majority simply don’t know the language or tools required to make this happen.

Adrian’s teamwork keynotes are inspired and designed from some of the World’s most ground-breaking studies and programmes on what makes a team tick, perform and achieve results.
Combining with real-time experience of leading and working in high performing – and sometimes low performing - teams in corporations, the military, sport and his adventures, he aims to bring a unique combination of theory and practice to help your team achieve the results they desire.

Designed according to an organisation and event’s desired outcomes, Adrian’s adventurer keynote speeches detail the story of his record-breaking adventures in which he has overcome some of the greatest challenges on Earth.

Accompanied by inspiring and moving video, his empowering lessons for his audiences are not of the blindingly obvious but of the deeper learnings on maximising potential, performance and results for individuals, teams and companies. Lessons gained from the coaching World, psychology, emotional intelligence, relationship systems; the business World, the military and his expeditions. And, most importantly, lessons that are applicable for everyone.

What makes a real leader? What constitutes effective leadership? What qualities and actions do people need to know and enact in order to be a leader? Googling “leadership” results in over 100 million entries; how do you get through the thick crust and layers to get to the core?

Adrian has studied leadership since attending officer training at Britain’s Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1984 and is passionate about the subject, taking numerous programmes and learning from the World’s best.

The key component of his leadership keynotes has been gleaned from one of his mentors - that everyone can be a leader. Leadership is possible for all types of people at all levels in an organisation in today’s World. And never has that organisation, or this World, needed that leadership more than it does today.

Adrian is a leader and ambassador on sustainability whose keynotes and seminars aim to awaken and transform an audience’s consciousness, supporting a new wave of awareness – and action - in our World.

He is an ambassador for UK NGO BioRegional’s One Planet Living who were partners on the Greenland Quest expedition (www.greenlandquest.com)

He is also an ambassador for the newly launched Movement for Happiness, a worldwide organization that seeks to move us away from materialistic consumerism to find and experience the real drivers of happiness – a mission that neatly combines one of the prime goals of personal coaching with one of the prime requirements of sustainability.
