Endurance Speaking

The boundaries between athlete Ben and speaker Ben are about to become very blurred this afternoon. I'm writing this from the Hilton Metropole hotel in Birmingham, where I'm about to give no less than seven consecutive twenty-minute talks at a conference.

I remember reading once that Tony Robbins used to relish giving dozens of presentations a week when he was an up-and-coming speaker. Right now, I'm feeling a little spaced-out; life recently has been so incredibly hectic that I'm wondering when I'm going to have the chance to catch my breath (or write a book, for that matter). If this sounds like I'm whinging, I'm not – at some point in the last fortnight, I seemed to have reached my own personal tipping point and some of the opportunities that are whizzing my way are mind-blowing. Exciting times. More soon…
