Dr Dean Allen – Motivational was brought up in the West Country of England and was the first person in my family to go to university. Since then he has gone on to teach at leading Universities in South Africa, Australia, Northern Ireland and the UK.
Dr Allen established a reputation as a popular guest lecturer and speaker, and now available to Book through Speakers Inc
He has attributed much of his success to the cultures and people he has been exposed to during his travels. South Africans in particular have taught him that the power of determination, when channeled correctly, is immensely powerful. Dr Allen is greatly influenced by one of the greatest
statesmen of our time, Nelson Mandela – a true leader who also saw the value of sport in uniting people and healing the past. It is a story that he believes we all can learn from.
Dr Allen will tailor each of his keynote talks to satisfy your event’s theme and messaging and the presentations are always well suited to the audience. He will aim to entertain and inspire with an engaging, honest and enthusiastic style of delivery. Follow Speakers Inc on Twitter
