Speaker enquiry

Frank Dick has spent a number of years working with business teams sharing the unique insight on performance in business and life that he has gained from coaching elite sports personalities.

From 1979 to 1994 Frank was the British Athletics Federation’s Director of Coaching, where he was widely acknowledged as one of the outstanding sports coaches in the world. It was during this period that the GB and Northern Ireland Athletics Team rose to become a genuine power in world athletics, led in particular by track stars such as Sebastian Coe, Sally Gunnell, Tessa Sanderson, Steve Ovett, Steve Cram, Linford Christie, Denise Lewis, David Moorcroft and Daley Thompson.

Against this history of excellence and 20 years of speaking to hundreds of global companies, he has recognised the key areas of personal and professional development which, once taken out of a ‘training room’ mentality and put into a business context, will lead to individual and team performance advantage.

Frank is the author of three major publications, ‘Sports Training Principles’, ‘Winning’ and ‘Winning Lines’, all classics in their fields. His contribution to sport and coaching has been recognised in being awarded an OBE in 1989, induction to the UK Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999 and the prestigious title “UK Sporting Hero” by Sport UK in 2001.

Frank currently holds the position of ‘High Performance Consultant’ for SASCOC (South African Sports Confederation And Olympic Committee)

Frank speaks on the topics of the Winning Mind-set, Teamwork, Coaching, Leadership and Talent Development.

“To say you understood our requirements and your messages resonated with the team would be a serious understatement. In my experience the impact of guest speakers in your arena tends to dissipate very quickly when the troops get back to work, but I feel very confident that your extraordinary talented delivery will make its mark permanently.”

Conor O’Kelly, Chief Executive, NCB Stockbrokers Ireland

 

“The feedback from Frank’s speech has been incredibly positive; I have yet to find anyone who didn’t take away something from his words. His wisdom, experience and humour came together to form several powerful messages about individual and team performance.”

Morgan Stanley

 

“Excellent, very thought-provoking and demonstrated how you can apply principles into day to day life – work and home.”

Nick Dargan, First Direct
