True success is not a measure of our financial status or our business and personal achievement, it is a measure of how we feel about ourselves day by day. It is our level of self-acceptance, belief and happiness that gives us our life satisfaction . . . our sense of purpose.In the fast-paced world of modern day living most of us go about our daily lives totally unaware of how peer pressure from the world around us can affect our performance. It will often shape our outlook, deplete our energy, and keep us “Ordinary”.As a motivational speaker, I work with companies & individuals to raise awareness by teaching senior management and business teams simple practical strategies to reduce the crowd influence, increase energy, and develop the happiness and satisfaction levels that lead to 'Extra-Ordinary' performance in business and beyond.Using the Plasticine Highway as a metaphor to symbolise the perpetual flexibility of the life journey and my own experiences working with these strategies, my workshops build in stages to help individuals implement the simple life skills that make the difference:✔ How do you feel? A workshop to raise awareness of unconscious behaviours, remove physical and psychological blocks, increase energy and potential for change✔ How do you do? Learn how you became “YOU”. Highlight your strengths, identify & correct repeating negative behaviour, create your perfect day & design your future direction✔ Who do you know? Identify those who can help you. Create a strategy to meet them, learn the power of win-win relationships and practice the techniques of effective networking✔ Extra-Ordinary Living: A full day workshop to encompass all the above |discover your purposeRecent clients: VISTAGE – CEO & Senior Manager groups | Envirovent – Managers Day | Hypnos -Sales Conference | UKHA – Network Event➥➥ If you are looking for a speaker to engage & produce positive outcomes for your team then please get in touch: hello@johnmiddleton.info.

Belgium, Holland, France

Living and racing in Europe as a competitive racing cyclist, I competed mainly in one day events with the occasional stage race in the Summer months and on the indoor tracks in the Winter. Belgium and Holland provide the toughest bike racing environment in the world and although I raced with a Dutch sponsored team and earned enough from the racing to live, I was never the strongest. However, as an experience to develop my outlook, character and resolve, it was an invaluable period.

Completed a full apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer and attained my City & Guilds qualification as an Engineering Craftsman to become a qualified production engineer. The job was to build and test automatic wrapping machines for the Bakery and Confectionery industries. This comprised of starting from an initial sub frame, building the machine, adjusting settings to wrap patterns, final commissioning for delivery to end users.
