“Anna’s thoughts on how we can all take make beneficial lifestyle choices through managing our food (fuel), exercise and rest, provide an easily understood equation that provides the solution to our personal energy management needs. My team found her presentation both engaging and thought provoking and I have no doubt that many of them will be implementing her advice and reaping the benefits of doing so.”

“Beyond Barriers delivered an excellent and thought provoking workshop as part of National Grid’s Safety, Health and Environment Leadership programme. During the workshop Beyond Barriers made a compelling case for healthier living, providing straight forward, practical advice on those actions we could take to improve our general well-being – making us much more effective and fulfilled in the workplace and, of course, at home.”

“Anna Hemmings, MBE, delivered a session at my Sales Conference in September 2010. Anna’s personal story of triumph over adversity and her commitment to continuous and never ending improvement was the perfect motivation for my team. Following the completion of a detailed and thorough pre meeting brief Anna tailored her message in line with my objectives for the session and the result was more than just a compelling story; it was a compelling and relevant business message. I highly recommend both Beyond the Barriers and Anna for any corporate function.”
“For the first time we have in one simple document all of the aggregated health numbers of our most senior managers. This is very powerful data and gives us a starting point for taking individual action. A healthy team is a healthy company. The personal numbers help us to be able to gauge the readiness of our management team for the challenges that we face in our business and to help wellbeing towards our sustainability vision for 2020. The good news is that everyone can work on their wellness and this programme provides a useful start with the use of HeartMath tools which have been proven to reduce stress and increase vitality and performance.”
“Anna Hemmings did a fantastic job of bringing to life how the lessons learnt as an elite athlete can be transferred into the work place to help cope with the constant pressure and change we face – there was a real buzz in the room after her presentation and feedback has been excellent with several people asking to contact Anna directly to thank her for such an inspirational presentation. This sort of response is not easy to get from a roomful of marketing professionals!”
“The workshop that Dr Dorian Dugmore and Anna Hemmings MBE presented was absolutely first class. Dorian Dugmore’s comments regarding cardiovascular health and overall nutrition were exceptionally valuable. The workshop was of excellent value and I would encourage all chairmen who have not heard them speak before to include them in their speaker line up for the future.”
“Absolutely fantastic, a great day with great people”
“Your presentation was highly motivational and appealed to a wide audience in a variety of different ways. You presented a number of techniques that can be applied to our business environment and you maintained a wonderful rapport with the audience created through rhythm and pace. Thank you for a very engaging presentation.”
“Informative, excellent & educational”
“My thanks go out to Dr. Dorian Dugmore, without whose help I would never have accomplished any of the goals that I set myself. His unwavering friendship, enthusiasm, knowledge and motivation have been invaluable all year, as has his company during training runs and ultimately during the marathon itself – which I would not have finished without him! It is so rare, in today’s climate, to encounter someone who is prepared to help someone else achieve their goals, giving of their time 100% unselfishly and asking nothing in return – thank you Dorian!”
“The presentation that you delivered was a powerful wake up call and clearly made a lot of sense to the audience gathered. Judging by the very positive feedback that we have received over the past few days, many of the delegates will be using your advice on corporate wellness straight away within their organisations.”
“Fantastic day – changes today to my life, that will hopefully make my life longer”
“Anna is a very positive, entertaining and intelligent speaker who can act as a real inspiration to would-be sports people, and whose experiences in the world of elite sport offer great benefits to those in the equally competitive world of business.”
“A really great workshop, enjoyed by all present. “Inspirational” was mentioned several times. Your illustration of the power of visualisation was fantastic and you showed how it can be used in a very practical and powerful way.”
“So good and fantastic, I want to roll it out for all my employees”
