About

One of Britain's most in-demand motivational speakers, Adrian Webster tells it like it is, drawing on his own varied experience in corporate life and the public sector.

Warm, witty, engaging and energetic, Adrian inspires individuals, transforms teams and electrifies entire organisations with his simple but highly effective philosophy based on Tiny Noticeable Things (TNTs) and the Shape of Integrity. Plus, he reaches millions more across the world through his bestselling Polar Bear Pirates series of books.

The son of a Yorkshire coal miner, Adrian began his career as a police officer in Bristol. However, unable to contain an entrepreneurial urge and a burning desire to "do something different", he soon found himself setting up a highly innovative dairy business, before successfully diversifying into a wide range of other areas ranging from frozen food to recruitment and property.

Armed with a genuine love and proven talent for selling, Adrian entered the IT industry, where he quickly established himself as one of the UK's top sales professionals. From Corporate Sales Manager of US Robotics, he moved to leading distributor Northamber plc as Group Sales & Training Manager, where he led a team of 150 to phenomenal success, and discovered his ability to inspire others.

Written with TV neuroscientist Dr Jack Lewis, it's become an international bestseller, topping both the business and non-fiction charts and helping people from all walks of life get more out of the only brain they've got.

Engaging, thought provoking, energising, incredibly insightful, fun – a true rollercoaster of emotions and so much to take away from it! The team were utterly mesmerised throughout the session, and the feedback has been incredible.

John Lewis

The feedback I have had from those that attended has been extraordinary – in fact the very best we have had, having run a number of similar events over the last 7 years.

HSBC

Thank you for energising my team the way you did this morning. The mix of serious food for thought and humour made a big impact on all of us. The feedback was very positive indeed. Your speech will be remembered as the highlight of our conference. You can quote me on that...

Jeroen Eijsink - Managing Director - DHL Freight.

Over the last four months, we’ve spent so much time at home and in front of a device that screen time feels more like scream time! Along comes a stranger, stirs up a whole load energy, drive and anti-chaos and we’re left with this wonderful feeling of... I thought Adrian would be another one of those speakers, he wasn’t, Adrian was the ignition to get us thinking clearly about how we get together again after lockdown. His virtual talk was the best thing I’ve seen in a long-time - this is screen time I would gladly engage with anytime.

Foster + Partners.

Adrian, I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the fantastic presentation which you gave yesterday. I know that I speak for many who found it truly inspirational. You had us in one minute both wanting to laugh and cry through a subtle mix of very powerful stories and amusing anecdotes.
The messages I took from you about having clear boundaries, TNT's and engendering fun at work will make a real difference.

Adrian, the guys are still talking about you.. thought provoking stuff which we were all able to relate too. Adrian was a huge success. Without exception all of the managers approached us following his presentation to congratulate us on finding a truly inspirational and very entertaining speaker.

Thomson Airways.

I just wanted to tell you that I've run many of these events in the past,and often after a heavy night and the prospect of a half day and an early finish, delegates are often keen to get away. But yesterday most people were milling about for ages wanting to talk more about the conference and to share ideas on what they were going to motivate staff back in the office. Many thanks for your energy, passion and helping make our event a success.

Royal & Sun Alliance.
