Anna Turney Paralympian, supporting leaders to thrive under pressure through executive coaching and speaking. Choose courage, build resilience, back yourself!

I believe we can all thrive, with clear goals and the right support. Working together, we turn obstacles into opportunities, think positive and succeed. We empower leaders, building the resilience, motivation and the courage to thrive, through coaching, team leadership development and keynote speaking. After a life changing accident in my quest to compete in the Olympics, I focused my mind and went on to race for GB in two Paralympic Games, I exemplifying performance under pressure and resilience! I now coach and mentor corporate clients as well as athletes for the International Paralympic Committee and the University of Birmingham. I am passionate about enabling confidence, diversity and elite performance through their challenges. My coaching unleashes clarity, focus and resilience to extremely powerful effect. My performance and solutions driven coaching is tailored to meet your goals. A focused yet relaxed style allows you to quickly discover and reenvisage your challenges, stimulating reflection and new perspectives, energising you to action, generating results! As a renowned keynote speaker, I regularly present on large and influential platforms on motivation, resilience and diversity and am a TEDx speaker. An adventurer at heart, I enjoy the outdoors, competitive sport, yoga and travel. I work best with clients who are willing to look inwards, try new things and take action!

Do you care about the future of the planet?
Enough to act like you care?

This weekend was the biggest UK Climate Change protest ever, 100,000 people protested. I was moved to act thanks to Champions FOR Earth an incredible group of athletes who use their voices to make a difference.

The chanting and the mass participation was intense. Facing the truth, together, that if we fail to act, millions will die; face mass migration; 1 million species are at risk of extinction. It is terrifying! I felt emotional, yet supported alongside The Green Runners Innes Fitzgerald, my 83 year old Uncle Bill, cousin Ivan and my dear uni friend Gem and her daughter! At the end of the Biodiversity March, tens of thousands of protesters lay on the roads for the 'Die In'. We look happy but fuelled by fear.

The UN reports record levels for greenhouse gasses, global temperatures and rising sea levels. Our government admits they will fail to cut greenhouse gas emissions to hit their net 0 targets. The media barely covered it, so much for free speech.

Two years ago I felt utter despair for the future of Earth, I felt hopeless. Champions4Earth picked me up, supported and motivated me to use my voice as an athlete! It is time to find the courage to act now and do our bit! I urge all athletes, to check out Champions FOR Earth, who give regular online talks with incredible speakers.

“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire, to unite people in a way that little else does…a create hope where once there was only despair!” Nelson Mandella and quoted by the incredible Dave Hampton.

We all have the power, we can all be Champions for Earth! We must all act now, let’s work together, let's act like we care!

A new report highlights firms responsible for climate-heating pollution are sponsoring winter sports while also driving snow melt. And it calls on those in the winter sports industry, currently energy-intensive itself, to become zero carbon by 2030.

How do you turn adversity into personal growth?

Honoured to be invited to speak on Julian Roberts' podcast 'Helping Organisations Thrive' to explore post traumatic growth and business lessons from sport.

Who do you need in your 'team' to make your dreams happen?! And what's working in your 'routine'? I hope this triggers reflection on dream, team, routine inspires new insight.

I'd love to talk about the challenges your organisation is facing and perhaps together we can turn your obstacles into opportunities.

Thanks .true.athlete.project for inspiring reflection on self-compassion.
