The Speaking Club: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking The Epic Journey to the Stage with Jamie McAnsh - 273
Waking up paralysed in 2014 completely turned Jamie McAnsh’s life upside down.
He lost his job, and his independence, but he was determined to forge a new path and purpose for his life.
That included becoming a top disabled athlete, and fulfilling his dream of climbing Mount Everest in 2022.
What he realised was that he had a great support network around him, helping him to achieve his goals, and he wanted to create something so that other people could experience that support too. That was when he created his company ‘See No Bounds’ with his wife Charlott.
Today, Jamie divides his time between speaking all over the world on various topics, and building the See No Bounds global business community.
In this show you are going to get some brilliant insights into what it takes to keep going even when your life and world comes crashing down again and again! You are also going to get some great tips from Jamie around how he built his speaking career.
Enjoy!
