His expertise derives from years of detailed research into individual success and achievement. Frank combines this wealth of knowledge and experience into an informative and motivational approach to achieving long-lasting transformation of both individual and team performance. With a history of sporting excellence through coaching some of the best talent - Boris Becker and Daley Thompson, to name just two - he has, over the past 15 years of speaking to 100’s of companies both in the UK and around the world, recognised six key areas of personal and professional development that, once taken out of a “training room” mentality and put into a different context, can lead to individual and team progress simply by giving a different perspective. Author of three major publications, 'Sports Training Principles', 'Winning' and 'Winning Lines', all classics in their fields, Frank will publish his fourth book 'Winning Matters' in 2010. Frank's contribution to sport and coaching has been recognised in being awarded an OBE in 1989, induction to the UK Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999 and the prestigious title "UK Sporting Hero" by Sport UK in 2001. testimonials "To say you understood our requirements and your messages resonated with the team would be a serious understatement. In my experience the impact of guest speakers in your arena tends to dissipate very quickly when the troops get back to work, but I feel very confident that your extraordinary talented delivery will make its mark permanently" - Conor O'Kelly, Chief Executive, NCB Stockbrokers Ireland "Franks presentation was truly inspirational and probably the best motivational speaker that I have ever witnessed. It was brilliant way to finish our sales conference and everyone left extremely motivated and fired up" - J & J on Frank Dick (Oct 2010) "We learnt so many insights once again from Frank and of course Steve and yourself - it really was a extremely successful day so many thanks to you for all your organising" - Director Assistant to the President, American Express "Frank inspired the team to seek development themselves, to take ownership for their own & others performance and to work as a team to do so. The level of coaching activity within the team to help each other & to improve performance has been tremendous - it has also reduced the need for more formal training courses - they have developed the ability to learn by applying to the job and their role in the wider team. Frank hit the right mark at so many levels with the individuals within the workshops -the energy levels in the team were immediately impacted & the trick has been to maintain the enthusiasm at their new levels. Frank gets the balance of energy, motivation & the realisation of hard work and changed mindsets just right." - Head of Consultancy and Design, Barclays plc
"The wellness event was a first of its kind for us and our guests were senior decision-makers from one of our most important corporate clients. The unique combination of content, speakers and practical activity ensured that the day was both worthwhile and memorable. I know that you put in considerable time and effort in its planning and execution, and you will have gathered from those who were there, that we were all delighted with the outcome and came away with much food for thought." - Head of Client Management, Berwin Leighton Paisner
