Tribal Plates for Mr Motivation

Kriss Akabusi mbe, is remembered for his outstanding performances for Great Britain in the world of athletics and the successful television career that followed, presenting The Big Breakfast and Record Breakers.

Today the gold medallist is a highly sought after motivational speaker. Working from his business, The Akabusi Company, in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, he has found his natural ability to be an inspiration to others, the source of this newfound success. Amongst the scores of companies that have called upon Kriss's expertise are: BT, Marks & Spencer, T-Mobile and Siemens.

One of the many methods Kriss uses to help people break through their limiting beliefs, such as fear of failure, may seem quite dramatic. "I make the person face their deathbed by asking them to imagine they have just 18 months to live, then ask, what is the one thing that they would need to do right now to achieve their personal goal. It shocks people into focusing on what steps they can take to make it happen. It awakens their courage to push aside all the day to day routines they get caught up in and use as an excuse that they 'don't have the time'.
"An alternative is to encourage the person to think creatively about what it is they really want - to really picture it - if money and time were no object. This can be an exciting and momentous moment for people who haven't allowed themselves to really imagine themselves living their dream. They start to believe that they genuinely have the ability to make it happen."
