Background
Martyn Helliwell has been trained by the SAS and US Navy SEALs. Martyn also served as the British military’s first commissioned professional survival instructor. His huge and powerful motivational presence does not come from standing behind a lectern alone, but by taking you into his truly amazing world of extreme living. His presentations are as energetic as they are thought provoking.
He has climbed on Mount Everest, lived in the Arctic for 9 years, fought a war (twice!), walked across burning coals thousands of times and been stalked by a Lion in Africa!
As a certified Fire and Glass walking instructor, Advanced Master Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner and Hypnotherapist Martyn uses the most powerful of metaphors to demonstrate how to achieve the impossible in life and business, to be the very best in your field, and how to never miss another business opportunity!
Martyn was chosen as the sole external speaker at the ‘’London says thank you’’ dinner for the London Ambulance Service Emergency Crews on watch during the London Underground bombings of 7/7...... an accolade that he will cherish forever.
TV credits include BBC1 Inside Story, BBC1 Are you Super Human, BBC2 Survival Steady Cook, BBC3 Make my body younger, Presenter of NZ2 Shock Treatment and co-presenter for C5’s Fugitives Series.

Client Comments
‘’ Thank you for making it a very memorable evening that helped improve our team relationships and made us realize that if we put our minds to do something, we can achieve it’’
Alison Crookes – Head of Learning and Development – Barclays South Africa
"Remember this moment forever…" When did you last hear your staff say that on a training day? But I'm proud to say that I did, " Martyn's uniquely motivational personal experiences and refreshingly innovative approach to training, challenged us physically and mentally, but above all taught us new things about ourselves and each other. In an agency of more than 150, it's easy to be strangers, but that day new bonds were formed. An understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses brings respect. Respect is what builds great teams.
"In short, it works.... so much so, that we have now committed to a number of exciting new programmes with Martyn for next year."
Mike Spicer - Managing Director ARC Marketing
"You helped us to identify key issues and problem areas within our Management teams, in addition to offering a methodology to overcome them.
"The best compliment that can be paid to your presentation of the 'Best Year Yet' team development strategy, is that all our Regional Managers have voluntarily implemented the same programme within their regional teams.
"More than anything else, I would like to thank you on behalf of Lundbeck for the challenging but always inspiring programme that you put together in the frozen winter wonderland of Sweden. The sheer variety of challenge presented by an ice-bound overnight bivouac on the one hand, and the fire-walking sequel to the superb Black-Tie Gala Dinner on the other, astounded all of us!"
Nigel Crabtree - MD Lundbeck Pharmacutical UK
‘’A life changing experience, truly awesome!’’
Martin Leong – Director, Barclays Africa and Middle East
"I had been sceptical about the value compared to other alternative methods. As it turned out I would now find it difficult to achieve significant improvements without the high level of practical practice... a memorable experience."
Paul Foreman -MD Unipart International
‘’Frankly, having read your CV I wondered whether you could live up to it ……. My concerns were completely groundless! Without exception everyone was full of praise and have asked when can we book you again……..
S A Fitzpatrick – Events Secretary PROBUS
"The session was excellent and gave me a better insight into effective communication and listening skills."
"I don't think that it could have been more effective... I feel more focused about what I want and how I can achieve it... definitely recommended." "The benefit for me was focus — where there is a will there is a way.
