JOHN’S SHOWREEL

BIO

John Hotowka is a keynote speaker and after dinner speaker who’ll give you and your teams insights and simple, practical tools to achieve more with less, be more resourceful, build resilience and manage change to improve your bottom line... even in tough times.

He has the knack to instantly engage an audience and his presentations are highly interactive. You’ll also laugh while you learn and be inspired to take action.

John highlights the lessons he’s learnt since 1989, overcoming obstacles, doubt and failure and shows you how to develop the mind-set of an achiever, whatever challenges you may face. Using the techniques from his Achievement Thinking methodology his clients have manifested outstanding results - like hitting their annual sales target three months early!

At conferences many of his clients ask him to speak either after lunch (when an audience needs re-energising) or to open the event (to set the tone for the event) because of the humour and magic he uses, which also raises morale. Better still delegates will also work more collaboratively, share information and be more focussed afterwards.

Typical session take away points, but not limited to:

How to recognise behaviours and thoughts that cause hesitancy and how to overcome them to take action
How to combat distraction and stay solution focused
The importance of, and how to celebrate, small achievements to build resilience
How to create a support network (or work as a team) to achieve targets, goals and success

"THE SESSION WAS FANTASTIC!"

“I hired John for the Engie UK Commercial Conference as a guest speaker to talk about resilience. The session was fantastic and we have received very good feedback from the audience participants.
Unlike some other speakers we have had, John engaged everyone from the start with his delivery style and use of magic. The examples he used really remained with people – particularly regarding focusing in the correct place.
I have absolutely no hesitation recommending John and we will certainly work together again in the future.”
Ben Finnerty, EwS Sales Director, ENGIE UK & Ireland
"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

“On behalf of the Confederation of Paper Industries and the many delegates who attended this years Health and Safety Conference, I would like to thank John for delivering an entertaining, thought provoking and professional session on how to achieve ‘personal resilience’.
It is always difficult finding someone who can engage with an audience and hold people’s attention for an hour on what is perceived to be a ‘boring topic’, but John was excellent. Based on our initial discussions and pre-event calls, John’s session incorporated all the key messages that I wanted to convey, all of this was made easier by his willingness to listen, ask the right questions and then spend the time to personalise the session to suit our needs.
As an organiser of this event for many years, without question John would be on my ‘highly’ recommended list of speakers to have at an event.”
Andrew Braund, Director of Health and Safety, Confederation of Paper Industries
"THOUGHT-PROVOKING, ENGAGING & ENLIGHTENING"

“We recently had our first ever management conference and I’d like to give a big thank you to John Hotowka our guest speaker. He was thought provoking, engaging, enlightening, very humorous and used audience participation to great effect.
Better still the tools and techniques he taught to build resilience were delivered in such a way that every person in the room could identify with and take away different ways of thinking to apply to themselves and their teams.
The initial briefing sessions were really easy, well structured and provided a good outline of what we wanted John to cover. He was willing to listen, ask questions and then personalised the session to suit our objectives.
If you’re looking for a speaker on resilience I can highly recommend John.”
Vicky Hennessy, COO, Penny Petroleum
"HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY"

“We came across John via an agency and, after some detailed preparatory work and diligence on John's part, really getting to understand our people and their needs, he delivered an excellent session.
It was the highlight of a day's worth of client and internal presentations and the audience took plenty of learnings away. These can help both with personal life and also when at work.
We also enjoyed his delivery, blending magic and humour into serious concepts around self-motivation. I highly recommend him.”
Graham Sumeray, CEO, Charity Link
