Charity and Not-For-Profit Speaking

Stuart sitting down

With such a rounded CV, it comes as no surprise that Stuart counts working with, and for, a number of charities and not-for-profit organisations amongst his varied experiences to date.  As well as understanding some of the implications of disability, learning difficulties and mental health issues – and thus, being well equipped to relate to such audiences and those who work with, support and help service users - Stuart has a natural affinity for this environment.  This rubs off on his audiences, lends credibility to what he says and helps them shape their futures, overcome barriers, prejudices and self-doubts. He’s a catalyst for change. Words are powerful, but words born of the challenges Stuart has met are doubly so.

As an accomplished speaker too, no one’s better equipped to motivate people of all ages and backgrounds. Having overcome his own disability, Stuart is uniquely qualified to help both disabled and able-bodied people unlock their capabilities. As he’s often proved, it’s about pushing beyond your perceived limits – and being surprised where you arrive.  In summary “If you can dream it, you can achieve it”.

When you want your organization to shift up a gear, you need a speaker with something special who also understands your kind of organisation. The sort of ‘special’ you’d expect from a man who’s overcome the significant hurdle of physical disability, and gone on to cross the Atlantic ocean using just his own physical and mental strength and shaped a successful business career too. The sort of ‘special’ you’d expect from a public sector speaker who doesn’t know the meaning of ‘can’t’.

With his understanding of business and organisational needs, a natural gift as a professional speaker (and empathy with your audience’s needs), Stuart has the ‘Wow!’ factor (it’s hard to define but an audience knows when someone’s got it…!) along with one or more unique differentiators (he is so much more than  just another sportsperson or adventurer…). 

Stuart shakes hands with a disabled girl

Stuart Boreham is the speaker to inspire your team. In the face of his significant achievements, whatever challenges you face in your life or organisation, no matter how tough things can sometimes seem, you will find a new perspective following his presentation. His ability to engage in this way is  why, when enlightened organisations in the UK and around the world (including Hong Kong, USA and Germany) want to inspire and motivate their people in such organisations, Stuart Boreham has often been called in.

Few speakers will relate to your organisation’s challenges like Stuart. Nothing banishes ‘can’t’ or ‘it’s impossible’ better than a regular guy with an astonishing record of against-the-odds achievement. What’s more, Stuart, himself a successful businessman, social entrepreneur and hands-on Patron to three National charities, really understands both business and the unique challenges often present in your kind of organisation.  As your speaker, he knows how to work with you to get the most from your event – and deliver your messages so the audience will relate them directly to their daily lives and challenges.

Whatever your objectives, with Stuart Boreham as your charity or third sector speaker you’re in for a presentation that will take up to an hour – and last a lifetime.

“I just wanted to thank you for your time and input into the recent seminar. As you will no doubt have picked up at lunch on the day, the feedback was very positive with many people saying that they had been inspired by your contribution. To continue to give of oneself, at a time when there seems to be very little coming back to you, was a message that many drew from your presentation.”
Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

“Everyone sad how much they enjoyed your keynote address, they could not stop talking about it, you really inspired us all.”
Joan Pritchard, Community Development Officer, MENCAP

 

About Stuart

Stuart Boreham

Stuart was born in Stornoway, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, in May 1966.

As a child, it was soon apparent that he had difficulties with his legs - cerebral palsy had left him spastic in his lower limbs.

But what he has lacked in strength in his legs he has made up for in willpower to succeed.
