Businesses across Moray, Badenoch and Strathspey are to be given a unique opportunity to attend an evening masterclass by a renowned charismatic and humorous motivational speaker.

On September 19th, Steve McDermott will present ‘Don’t Just Blame the Weather! – Strategies for Success’, a workshop to inspire creativity and stimulate local business people to be more innovative, and successful, in their business practices.

Steve is an author, broadcaster and businessman and acknowledged as one of the top ten motivational speakers in Europe. He is a consultant, coach and trainer for a host of blue chip organisations including Nestle, British Nuclear Fuels and Asda, and has talked to thousands of people, from Burley to Berlin, about how they can be more successful in life and business. With his unique style, half business guru-half stand up comedian, he consistently scores 10 out of 10 on client evaluation questionnaires.

The evening event will be held at the Aviemore Hitlon on 19th September and is free and open to all businesses across Moray, Badenoch and Strathspey. It is being organised by Moray Badenoch and Strathspey Enterprise (MBSE) as part of their ongoing commitment to providing information and skills to business owners and managers.

MBSE chief executive, Douglas Yule, said: “Steve McDermott is very well-known in business communities in the UK and abroad. He is charismatic and funny and he is highly motivational. He makes people laugh but he also makes them think. I am very pleased that we are able to bring him to the Highlands and give many local businesses a free opportunity to benefit from his inspirational outlook. We would urge all businesses across Moray Badenoch and Strathspey to try to get along if they can, but remember to book first as numbers will be limited.”

Anyone interested in attending the event should contact Maxine Chappell at MBSE on 01309 696000 (Forres). www.sfb.co.uk/speakers/stevemcdermott
