Winning rowing Gold in Athens in 2004 in one of the most heart stopping races in history confirmed James Cracknell as one of the most successful and inspiring athletes of the modern era. Currently Double Olympic Champion and World Record holder along with partner Matthew Pinsent, he is one of Britain’s true sporting heroes. James’ outstanding sporting achievements, intelligence and good sense of humour have also made him popular choice of Corporate Speaker. With the ability to tailor his experiences to captivate and motivate a variety of audiences, James has inspired and entertained blue chip clients including BT, GlaxoSmithKline, Hewlett-Packard and McDonald’s.

"James presentation was very well received by the Kelloggs sales conference. I have had excellent feedback from a lot of people. He came across as an articulate but very down to earth guy with a good level of humility. I found him very approachable, relaxed and flexible to fit in with our agenda. His presentation was strong in message but subtle, and being able to tell two different extraordinary stories gave him real credibility as an inspirational speaker.He certainly inspired our team." Dave Wain Sales Operations Manager, Kellogg's

"James went down very well indeed.  His speech was excellent, he passed his medals round and he took time after his speech to chat and sign autographs. Feedback so far from those that attended felt it was the most successful Dinner to date. Please pass on our thanks to James for making the 10th Anniversary of the Ambassadors Dinner such a triumph!"
