After Dinner Speaker : Roger Black

For fourteen years Roger represented Great Britain at the highest level in the world of athletics, both as an individual 400 metres runner and a member of the 4 x 400 metres relay team.

He won fifteen major Championship Medals including European, Commonwealth and World Championship Gold Medals. His greatest achievements were winning the Olympic 400 metres Silver Medal in 1996 and being part of the Gold Medal winning 4 x 400 metres relay team at the 1991 World Championships.

He is particularly admired for his triumphs over adversity, successfully overcoming several serious injuries and setbacks throughout his career. He was British Men's Team Captain and was awarded the M.B.E. in 1992.

Having achieved at the highest level of World Class Athletics, both as an individual and as part of a World Championship winning team, Roger possesses a close knowledge of motivation and self-development.

He understands the dynamics of becoming a champion, how to live a dream, set goals and take the necessary steps to fulfilling ones potential. By combining his experience of self motivation and personal attainable development both on and off the track he motivates organisations throughout Europe.

His presentation includes the use of video footage to reinforce the key message "Excellence is within all of us, both individually and as part of a winning team ... should you dare to grasp it!"
