Gary Skyner defies expectations of what can be achieved.  Real life traumas are turned into triumphs every day.  Gary's awe inspiring tale of triumph over tragedy will touch your heart and lift your spirit.  


As one of the earliest children in the UK to be born damaged by the deadly Thalidomide drug, which was administered to expectant mothers in the 1960's, Gary's life was destined to be difficult and challenging as the drug impaired his physical development.  Expected not to live, let alone to achieve much, Gary is living proof that there is nothing you cannot achieve if you believe you can.  


Gary's presentations are not your usual run-of-the-mill motivational speech.  There are no "go get 'em boys, climb that mountain, cross that finish line, slay the dragon and get the pretty girl" scenarios.  He deals with real life; not as a superstar, athlete or famous mountaineer, but as a man who started out in life with one obstacle after another.  

Gary's bespoke presentations include full PowerPoint and DVD visual aids.  The presentations are ideal for:-

  • Staff Motivation
  • Disability Awareness
  • Equality and Diversity Awareness
  • Student Motivation
  • Life Coaching
  • CSR
