Gerry Duffy – Keynote Speaker

From running 32 marathons in 32 days to completing and winning the 2011 UK Deca Enduroman Ironman distance challenge, an event dubbed ‘the toughest 10 day endurance challenge in the World’, Gerry Duffy loves to challenge himself as well as conventional wisdom and is keen on leading by example. Companies who have invited Duffy to address their workforces and clients include Facebook, Google, AXA, United Drug, Standard Life and Coca Cola. His presentations are packed with strategies and tactics to help any company or individual achieve whatever goal they wish.

Formerly a man whose biggest fear was public speaking, Duffy’s work has brought him throughout Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe. He inspires audiences with his own personal story and shares with them the belief systems and techniques he uses to achieve peak personal performance. He demonstrates how to set demanding personal goals and overcome challenges. Leading multinationals, small and medium size businesses and a diverse range of organisations have all asked him to address their teams. Every presentation is individually tailored so that those attending are left with strategies to reach their particular goals.

Testimonial from Facebook
Director Online Sales Operations, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Facebook.

‘At Facebook, we pride ourselves on attracting top quality speakers from a wide range of disciplines. The perspective which they bring really helps our teams to understand and appreciate how others overcome challenges in their own careers. Gerry’s talk was one of the best I have seen, his fascinating personal journey was shared in a humble and genuine way which meant that everyone in the room was able to connect with his story. He really made us think about the goals we set ourselves and to question our personal limits and getting out of the comfort zone. It is astounding to see what Gerry has achieved through raising the bar for himself and achieving the impossible. His story resonates strongly with us given our company mission and has pushed us all to rethink our limits. He was inspirational and humbling and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any organisation as a guest speaker.’
