"If you are looking for a loud, brash, motivational guru for a speaker, who will dazzle your audience with tales of derring-do, and swallow a large proportion of your budget for the privilege, then look elsewhere. Paul St. John Martin is not the man for you.

What he offers is the rare ability to combine humour, humility and honesty in a way that refreshes the parts other speakers often fail to reach"

Michael Collie - BBC TV Presenter.

Born in 1950, raised in a rural peasants cottage with no electricity, no inside toilet, no bathroom and no running water made Paul's upbringing 'different' to most. Life has been an adventure ever since and amongst other things Paul has managed to:

Be happily married since 1973, with two grown children who still talk to their parents. Qualify as an Advanced Motorist at 21. Qualify as a Scuba Diver. Qualifed as a Senior Soccer Referee, and was for some years a Police Reservist (like Nigel Mansel)

Paul is a regular blood donor, has assisted visually impaired across the Higher Atlas Mountains on the edge of the Northern Sahara - Africa, parachute jumped for charity, walked to Everest Base Camp {From Nepal-not the UK!} Sailed in the BT Global Challenge, spent time with the Maasai in the Serengeti - Tanzania, raised tens of thousands for charities, won a prestigious award scholarship, managed farming enterprises on a large sporting estate, been a qualified Proficiency Test Examiner for the ATB, been a top Sales Manager in Financial Services, been a top Sales Consultant in the Wealth Management arena, owned a succesful 'Offroad' Motorcycle Training Company, set up a successful practice advising wealthy clients on Trusts, Investment and tax issues, qualifed as a Competent Toastmaster & won several speach contests, been an area Governor for Toastmasters International, qualified as a Fellow of The Institute of Sales & Marketing Management, a founder member of the Professional Speakers Association. and owns a mobile leadership challenge operation with his son (Serious stuff -not for the faint hearted)

If you are looking for a highly educated, boring speaker then look elsewhere.

However, if you want a stimulating, humorous speaker/presenter who comes from the 'University of Life' and knows both failure and success then Paul is a great choice. His ability to motivate and guide those who want more happiness, health and wealth is unique and once you have met his companions; Bertie, Ollie and Dangerous you will be amazed at what you and your audience/sales force can achieve.

Paul enlivens tales of human brilliance and blunders with his contagious enthusiasm and down to earth take on life. He will entertain, enlighten and have the audience laughing as he pokes fun and inspires at the same time.

He is one of those rare individuals who can deliver a serious message and at the same time make audiences feel really good about themselves.

The core of Paul's presentations are based on his observations of people and are well suited to any sales organisation and those who want a speaker to provoke laughter and merriment with a serious message attached as required.

Paul admits to one great weakness - He cant spell - so please forgive any typo's etc in this resume.

Please contact Paul directly to discuss your requirements/ideas.
