Colin Javens The Speaker
Colin's humourous yet somehow humble delivery moves, motivates and inspires people to aspire to and reach their own goals. His innate gratitude, born of almost total reliance, of his team's input into the completion of his successful expedition, illustrates categorically the importance of teamwork. Encompassed throughout is his acknowledgement that without modern technology he probably would not have achieved what he did.
"His story is a tour de force of courage and determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Truly inspirational; Colin Javens is the 'real thing'.
Sean Malone, Managing Director, YellowSpanner Communications Agency.
"Thank you all for arranging for Colin to speak at our conference on Friday, and to Colin himself for delivering one of the most profound, touching and humorous speeches I have ever heard. His delivery and timing is impeccable and his amazing humbleness and sense of self, something to make all of us reconsider our values and focus on life. Thank you for giving us such a great experience - quite truly I don't think there was a dry eye in the house!!"
Sue Harding, Business Operations Manager, Avanade UK Ltd
"Colin Javens has a quite remarkable story to tell, and speaks with sincerity, modesty and humour. It is impossible not to be moved by the way he has come to terms with his disability and achieved so much since his unfortunate accident. I cannot recommend him too highly as being a potentially inspirational speaker to school audiences."
Chris Tongue, former Headmaster, St John's School, Leatherhead.
"Colin's presentation was excellent and the students found it both inspiring and informative not to mention humorous. Colin has developed a fantastic presentation style which would be envied by many of the faculty at Cranfield!!"
John Glen, Senior Lecturer Economics, Director Full Time MBA, Cranfield School of Management.
"What an experience and ... what an education! I have learnt so much about Spinal injury and have admired so much the bravery and guts of Colin, refusing to be beaten by his accident and doing so many wonderful things."
Anthony Wright Former DMD Africa, Standard Bank of South Africa and Trustee and Director, CJSIT
