Professional Speaking
Like most other things they do, Glenn and Heather usually present together. They employ their experiences, adventure philosophy and expertise to create an experience for their audience that is inspiring, educational and entertaining. Styles of presentation range from 60-minute keynote addresses to multi-day workshops.
“Glenn and Heather were inspirational. They linked their experiences to the topic of our conference and had the audience spellbound. Heather’s experiences and her commitment to achieve her goal of BASEjumping with Glenn, despite many setbacks highlighted the need to take responsibility, and to put strategies in place that minimise risk while preparing mentally and physically to achieve a vision. I don’t think we can top their presentation, their charm or their willingness to give time to the many people who wanted to speak with them. These brief comments don’t do justice to Glenn and Heather and their amazing life”. June Dous, Thales Australia.
Glenn and Heather have been speaking together professionally since 2001. Before that Heather managed a high profile Australian speaker’s bureau and Glenn was one of her favourite speakers (they met at one of his presentations in 1995). Glenn was first invited to speak about his adventures and the parallels for business in 1989 after a successful expedition to Antarctica. He has continued to receive invitations from around the world ever since.
“In staging a successful event, you have to find a “WOW” segment. You certainly provided that element and more! No matter what personal fears we all have, … you showed that there is really no limit to what one can achieve if one sets one’s mind to it. … Glenn, we all climb our different mountains every day of our lives. You’ve shown us … how we can harness the fear and turn it into positive thrust. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”. Tom Carroll, Chief Manager Sales Commonwealth Bank, Australia
Major themes of their presentations are: Fear (understanding it, understanding its role in limiting performance, and tools for overcoming it). Commitment and Responsibility. Physical and Mental Fitness. Coping with Adversity and Successfully Managing Change.
“Many thanks for coming to Hastings and attending our conference. I trust you enjoyed your visit and it was great to have you with us. Glenn and Heather you presented what I would term the ultimate in fearlessness and certainly instilled in us to forget that often used saying ‘I can’t’. I think everyone will remember the we had with you on that Sunday morning for a long, long time and all the much better for it”. Alan Wattan. Chair Ingenium New Zealand.
Glenn and Heather’s presentations are enhanced by jaw-dropping video clips and stunning photography from their adventures. The old saying a picture paints a thousand words only partly explains the profound impact their multi-media has. Because much of it is unique and beautifully captured it sticks. People remember the imagery, and the inspiration long after the conference is over.
“Glenn Singleman is perhaps the ultimate quiet achiever. Either that or he is a chameleon. How else can you explain the surprise in store when having read his bio relating seemingly foolhardy deeds, you finally get to meet the man and are confronted with your average day to day conservatively dressed, quietly spoken business man. And that in essence, is the key to Glenn as a professional speaker…. normality. It’s just that he has this penchant for jumping off things…very high things. Glenn is that rare breed of speaker to whom an audience can easily relate. While his achievements are beyond reality for most people, the person is not. Having used Glenn in a motivational speaking capacity for a number of varied clients, I can attest to the fact that he is able to reach audiences on all levels, ever reinforcing the need for planning, preparation and risk management. The message is always clear and absorbable but more importantly, accessible.
Glenn isn’t ‘out there’ like so many others, he is simply a man determined to challenge both himself and his environment and to give his audience a wonderful insight into the capabilities that lie within us all.” Neil Campbel, l Event Producer, The Event Centre Professional Conference Organisers – Australia
As people, Glenn and Heather are easy to relate to, easy to work with, professional and adaptable.They have worked with hundreds of the world’s best known companies, as well as professional associations, community groups and charities. They get the same positive response from all.
“It gave me so much pleasure to look around our audience last Friday and watch their faces as your story unfolded. You had them mesmerised. I’ve since received countless emails from people saying how much they enjoyed your presentation and many of our regular Business Chicks even went so far as to say that you’re the best speaker they’ve ever heard. I’m so grateful that you were able to inject inspiration and motivation into our chicks. I’m not sure you quite understand the impact your message has Heather – you elevate all of whom you meet, and challenge them to rise above what they feel they’re capable of. Me included!!! After seeing your ‘To-Do List’ (mines pales in comparison) I’m committed to taking on more and pushing myself. It’s fun being fearless! Thanks again to you and Glenn.” Emma Brown. The Chief Chick. Business Chicks.
