Marc Convey is a motivational speaker, burns survivor, and advocate for triumph over trauma. Marc’s strong belief is that you can survive anything if you develop the inner resources to face it and forge a new path, whatever your physical limitations.

Marc has recently shared with us his new speaking showreel.

I have recently returned from watching some of the Olympics in Paris and was in awe of some of the amazing achievements we got to see. In some cases, the difference between gold and silver was so marginal that it made it all the more exciting.

Many speakers we work with talk about having that competitive edge and what companies/individuals need to gain an advantage over their competitors. These are a few speakers we work with that speak on competition – from a sporting and performance perspective to a sales and customer service perspective.

Everyone at Scamp Speakers would like to congratulate Maria Conceicao on becoming the first Portuguese Woman to conquer K2.

Part of a 9-member expedition team, Maria summited the world’s second highest peak on Sunday 28th July 2024. The achievement makes the Maria the first Portuguese Woman to summit two peaks above 8000 metres having already climbed Mount Everest

This is our August 2024 speaker news and this month we feature feedback on Richard McCann, Alex Wood, Maria Conceicao, Matt Ellison, and Alex Atherton; we welcome Martin Le Comte and Philippa Forrester to the website; we have updated showreels on Debra Searle and Paula Reid, and news updates from Mike Southon, Oli France and Jackie Handy.

Our August Book of the Month is ‘Wild Woman: Empowering Stories from Women who Work in Nature” by TV and Radio Presenter and Inspirational Speaker, Philippa Forrester.

In Wild Woman, Philippa Forrester considers the grit and determination required for women to maintain connections to wildlife and shares stories of female conservation heroes and other extraordinary wild women working in nature.

Neurodiversity refers to the differences in the way people’s brains work. People who are neurodiverse often think about and see the world differently, and these differences are to be embraced and encouraged.

It is estimated that around 1 in 7 people in the UK have some kind of neuro difference. These are just a few speakers we work with who talk on neurodiversity and/or share their own personal stories.

And rest……..as we approach the start of the school holidays it is a time when there are fewer events taking place and an opportunity for us to take a break and recharge.

However, it is also a time when you may start planning for your Autumn events – which typically can be one of the busiest times of the year.

If you are starting to plan ahead these are just a few of the areas in which we can help.

This is our July 2024 speaker news and this month we feature feedback on Roger Black, Trewin Restorick, Anna Hemmings, John McCarthy, and James Poulter; we have updates from Dominic Colenso and Ayo Sokale; a new showreel from Danny Crates and we welcome Orla Chennaoui to the website
