What’s your Big Dream and what are you doing to make it happen? “Ian’s always felt he’s here for a reason that’s bigger than himself. Around 10 years ago, he went on a journey that transformed his life. He discovered that investing in himself both physically and mentally had a massive positive impact both personally and professionally. This took him from couch potato to a Team GB Ironman triathlete. It took the company he was CEO of from Good to Great. He now describes himself as an Energy Coach and energises other leaders and their businesses. His mission is to energise 10 million people. He’s also a Dad of 3 fabulous girls and a husband. He is a past President of Norfolk Chamber of Commerce and originally trained as a Chartered Accountant“ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
