 
...Walk away feeling inspired and empowered
"Anna is a very positive, entertaining and intelligent speaker who can act as a real inspiration."
John Inverdale, Sports Broadcaster, BBC TV and Radio
As a five times world champion canoeist and highly accomplished motivational
speaker Anna Hemmings knows what it takes to succeed. But she also
knows that a huge amount of hard work and determination is needed
to reach any goal - not just in the sports arena but across all walks
of life. Her story of commitment, self-belief and success in the face
of adversity translates well in every arena because she has the ability
to connect with, inspire, entertain and motivate audiences across
the board.
Anna was told by medical experts that she might never race again.
She thought she would have to retire from the sport when diagnosed
with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in April 2003. Following a series
of failed treatments Anna began to think that her hopes of competing
again were ebbing further and further away. However, she eventually
found a successful cure for the miserable condition and her tenacity
and inspirational positive attitude lead to a miraculous return
to fitness.
Having competed at the Olympics once already Anna’s goal
now is to become Olympic Champion, but she realises that you have
to take one step at a time in order to push the boundaries. It’s
the same in business. Anna’s motivational keynote speech demonstrates
clearly, how with the right tools this can be accomplished in any
field.
Why Anna?
"Anna is able to take examples from the very competitive
world of sports and use them as great tools that could be applied
to business and personal endeavours.”
- Mary Kay Galvin, Assistant Director, Canon USA, Inc Anna
