Yorkshire welcomes world renowned explorer and motivational business speaker
He has climbed Mount Everest, flown from London to Sydney in a microlight, completed a 150-mile run across the Sahara desert and hauled a sledge 250 miles across Antarctica, to name but a few world record breaking endeavours. Achievements made all the more impressive by the fact that Miles Hilton-Barber is totally blind.
Speaking at Henshaws College in Harrogate on Thursday 10 June, Miles will deliver one of his world-famous motivational talks. Using the philosophy that ‘the only limits in your life are those you accept yourself’ and his experiences in overcoming his blindness, Miles has spoken at large conferences and corporate management events in over 300 cities around the globe.
The presentations, which he has given at organisations including Rolls-Royce, HBOS, Shell International and the BBC, are based on the life lessons he has learnt. Many of Miles’ achievements have been made possible with the support of close friends and sighted guides, and he uses these experiences to demonstrate how barriers and limitations can be overcome with the right attitude, team preparation and innovation, along with a healthy sense of humour.
Miles counts Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Michael Palin among his fans. Sir Ranulph Fiennes said: “Hearing Miles speak is truly inspirational. He is living proof of the old adage ‘there is no such word as can’t.’ This amazing man is an unparalleled force for motivation and I have every possible respect for his talents as a speaker, as well as his incredible personal courage.”
Caroline Smale, principal of Henshaws College, whose students are visually impaired with additional learning difficulties and physical disabilities, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Miles to the college in June. He is such an inspirational man and speaker, and because of the challenges he has faced in overcoming his blindness, the work we do at Henshaws College is close to his heart.
“Because of his great generosity, we were able to offer tickets at a vastly reduced price. We expect the event to sell out extremely quickly, so I would urge people to reserve their seats soon. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear a truly inspirational man speak about his fascinating story.”
Tickets cost £10 for the event at Henshaws College, Harrogate, which starts at 18.00 on Thursday 10th June, and is expected to last around two and half hours. To reserve a place, contact Susan Bartle on 01423 814500 or email susan.bartle@henshaws.org.uk.
