Simon's message is one of single-minded determination, to not only accept what is, but to turn that to your advantage. Simon's own career demonstrates clearly that such a positive mental attitude can achieve great business goals, making him the first choice motivational speaker for many organisations.

In June 1982, only a handful of people would have recognised the Simon Weston who headed out for the Falklands Conflict, but on his return from the bombing of the Sir Galahad he was recognised the world over, not for his disfigurement from 46% burns but for his optimism, determination and inspired courage.

His irrepressible humour, infectious enthusiasm and immediately engaging personality have made him a number one choice!

Following his injuries, Simon's road to physical, spiritual and mental recovery saw him active in a number of highly successful ventures including 'The Weston Spirit', a Liverpool-based young people's charity. He remains a tireless worker for the Royal British Legion and the Royal Star and Garter Home. His charitable work earned him an OBE in the 1992 Queen's Birthday Honours.

Television and radio appearances, including the major BBC documentaries 'Simon's War', 'Simon's Peace', 'Simon's Triumph' and 'Simon's Return' have been complemented by literary success, as the author of 'Walking Tall' and 'Going Back', and more recently, works of fiction.

His message is one of single-minded determination, to not only accept what is, but to turn that to your advantage. Simon's own career clearly demonstrates how a positive mental attitude can achieve great business goals.
