| In 1992 as 3 x Olympic
medallist, World, European and Commonwealth Champion Kriss was awarded
the MBE by Her Majesty The Queen in her Birthday Honours List in
recognition of his services to the country through athletics.
His start into television and entertainment began when he
presented THE BIG BREAKFAST. This was followed with a full time position
as co-presenter with BBC'S RECORD BREAKERS. He has presented various
children's programmes and appears regularly on game and chat shows where
the brief is "fun and entertainment"
Kriss is currently the CEO of The Akabusi Company, a
corporate communications and training company where his marvellous
personality and reputation as a fantastic public speaker has made him a
very popular and attractive advocate.
He is also an accredited personal coach, having
qualified at the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara. He is one of only 4
qualified Hudson Institute coaches in the UK.
Kriss Akabusi born in London in 1958 of
Nigerian parents has three children, two beautiful girls from his
marriage, Ashanti and Shakira and Alannam, a son and welcome addition to
the family. Currently living in Bedfordshire, he can be found teeing off
at the local golf cubs or avidly supporting his favourite football team
West Ham United.
He is the founding Director and Chairman
of TACT (The Akabusi Charitable Trust) and a NGO in Nigeria, designed to
prevent water born diseases, and develop social cohesion by providing
potable water by drilling bore holes and providing workshops and
training around health issues and social responsibility.
Kriss’ infectious enthusiasm ensures that
the messages hit home and motivate the audience. Kriss’ inspirational
story is legendary and works well as a keynote at the start of a
conference to fire up the delegates or as an end note to close the
meeting. I’ll leave the audience on a high, ready to deliver success in
the arena.
Delegates will be inspired to be the best they can be both personally
and professionally through:
Setting a vision
Focusing on goal setting for teams and individuals
Ownership and commitment to goals
Identifying and overcoming hurdles
Using
creativity and innovation to achieve outstanding results
Being flexible and managing change pro-actively
Understanding the importance of teamwork and how to achieve it
Testimonials
"Thank you so much for your motivational
talk yesterday. You are so full of life and positive energy that it is
understandable how you reached your goals. During the recognition, you
had the energy for each person you greeted and didn’t lower your
excitement for anyone, it was so nice to see. You looked like you
enjoyed it, which makes the difference. I just enjoyed your
motivational talk so much and even better than the last one you did,
which was also very hard to top. I would have been happy to have seen a
carbon copy of the last one too, as it was so good. Here’s looking
forward to your next talk in the future."
Nicola, Kleeneze.
"The power and impact of this event
continues to grow in my mind. You were indeed inspirational in your
speech and great fun, energetic and positive in your presence. It was a
privilege to share the stage with you. You gave us a great lift. I was
very taken with how much you were able to tailor your words to our
organisation's work and our fundamental purpose. This is a belated, but
reflected "Thank You", for having come to Torbay to do this."
