As a current
Paralympics silver medallist and former World and European Champion, Ian
Rose is highly self-motivated. Both in his sporting and vocational
careers, he shows incredible willpower to reach for goals and achieve
winning performance.
Ian's sporting and
work achievements are a benchmark for sales, marketing and management
teams throughout the UK. His world class success follows childhood
cancer which left him disabled. Typically, he regarded it
as a challenge. His positive nature and zest for life helped him reach
for sporting stardom. The same positive approach and sense of fun helped
him set strong goals and reach for the top in IT sales.
After taking up
Judo for self defence, he swiftly changed from being a shy seven
year-old who was teased about his thick glasses into a world-class
Paralympics champion. His story is unique because he reached the
pinnacle of sports success while building up a successful career. Ian
enjoys sport but he is foremost a dedicated family man, with two
children and a very supportive wife - the perfect team.
In sport he gained
his black belt at 17. In the same year, (1989) he was selected to fight
his first Visually Impaired (VI) European Championships, winning bronze.
From that point Judo became a way of life. He succeeded
in both fully sighted and VI competitions and has been selected for four
Paralympics.
Successes include:
Silver medallist
Athens Paralympics
Bronze medallist
Atlanta Paralympics
Four time European
Champion
Former World
Champion
Sales Success
Story
Sports motivation helped Ian forge a ten year career in Internal sales
where he became skilled at proactive and
reactive sales. Working for such organisations as ACER, Edify and TIS,
Ian has successfully opened opportunities in markets where others have
failed. He has the will to win in sport and at work. Success is his goal
in life. |
