John Shackleton - Gold Elite Speaker
John experienced personal failure in his youth as a sportsman – always missing out by fractions of a second and never quite reaching International standard. This led him to study Sports Psychology and then become a professional Sports Coach. His personal experience and subsequent enlightenment shaped his business life, his sporting life and his speaking career and has helped him achieve great success in all three areas.
With more than 20 years experience as a professional speaker John was voted 2004 Inspirational Speaker of the Year and 2007 Speaker of the Year by the National Speakers Association of New Zealand. Also in 2007 he was awarded his CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) by NSA Australia, the highest qualification available to professional speakers, given to only the top 5% of speakers world wide.
John Shackleton is passionate about lifting people’s performance and helping them to raise their game. His exhilarating master classes put sales teams, managers and business owners through their mental paces to help them achieve best performances in their business and personal life.
In his presentations he draws on his own business and sporting successes and failures, talking to sales people, managers and business owners about applying the sports psychology techniques he’s used himself to improve their performance and achieve greater results.
Over the last 20 years John has spoken to most of the world's major pharmaceutical and insurance companies, many of Europe's top banks and finance houses and most of the top real estate companies throughout Australasia. He speaks internationally to a wide variety of audiences including salespeople, managers and business owners, doctors, accountants, builders, teachers and school children.
His unique background and experience has made him a powerful motivational speaker with a story borne out of life experience not trite text book theory. His humorous but hard hitting style will have his audiences laughing and crying but more importantly they will find themselves making big changes to their thinking processes and taking greater levels of personal responsibility then ever before in their life.

* Raise your game.

Testimonials
[The presentation] was very direct, organised and easy to understand. The guys got a lot from Shack. He had a great insight into some of the basics of life.—Crane Distribution NZ Ltd
John was very inspirational and absorbing. Very impressed with his style and content - all felt inspired and motivated afterwards.—Pfizer Animal Health
John is very approachable, unflappable and calm. He is great to deal with and made great conversation before the event started so that he gained a clearer pictureof who his audience were. John's message was also very well received, polished, informative and motivational. He kept the audiences attention and the hour seemed to fly by very fast. Compared to other speakers we've had, an hour would be too long and they get fidgety.—Harcourts Group
Favourite quotes
My passion is showing people that self limitation is what holds us back. Sport psychology teaches us about self belief and how important it is to achieving peak performance. All we need to do is to apply the techniques that sports people use to our business and personal life. Applying these techniques means that we can achieve so much more.
