He is a magnetic keynote speaker whose enthusiasm for his topic is infectious.

Hugh’s personal journey of highs and lows, adversity and success, spans three continents and encompasses grief, joy, loss and abundance. Through the art of good communication and good conversation, Hugh inspires individuals, teams and audiences to reach their potential both personally and professionally.
With over 25 years’ experience in sales, training, coaching and facilitation he is adept at working with large, multi-cultural groups, illuminating the benefits of positive body language, outstanding personal presentation and mindful conversation.
