Jamie Andrew - Guest Speaker

It is with great pleasure to have Jamie speak at our Awards evening.

Jamie Andrew is the Scottish mountaineer who had his hands and feet amputated following a horrific accident in the French Alps.

Miraculously, despite his handicap, Jamie has carried on with his mountaineering career and has made some amazing ascents all over the world, raising many thousands of pounds for charity along the way.

Jamie Andrew is a gifted and popular speaker, who has a growing reputation in the business arena as a presenter capable of motivating and inspiring audiences from all backgrounds, worldwide.

He tells his story with sincerity, passion and with humour, and he uses his experiences to great effect in putting across his key business messages.  Drawing on his experiences in mountaineering and in overcoming huge personal adversity, he is able to bring a unique perspective to many fundamental business skills such as:

  • §         Motivation – focusing on the positive
  • §         Emotional Intelligence – key emotional skills in life and business
  • §         Goal setting – setting realistic and achievable short and long term goals
  • §         Teamwork – working with the strengths, working round the weaknesses
  • §         Seizing opportunities – not being afraid to take a calculated risk
  • §         Leadership – taking control and having the vision to motivate and inspire others
  • §         Change Management – dealing with change, learning to use change as a positive motivator.

In August 2001, two and a half years after the accident, Jamie finally took the plunge and began work on a book, telling the full tale of his ordeal, rescue and rehabilitation for the first time.

A further two and a half years later, Life and Limb finally hit the bookshelves, and he breathed an enormous sigh of relief.

As a taster you can read the Synopsis and the Prologue of Life and Limb here. http://www.jamieandrew.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=42&Itemid=50
