| Summary |
Giles Long was training to be an Olympic swimmer when, age 13, he was diagnosed with bone cancer. After several rounds of chemo and a painful operation (that included replacing a part of his arm with a steel rod), he began training again, this time as a paralympic swimmer, and went on to win eight gold medals (and break several world records) in his 10-year swimming career. Giles is now a successful trainer and speaker, using his experiences as an athlete to motivate and inspire people at all levels within business organisations. CHANGING TO WIN is drawn from his keynote speech of the same name; it relates episodes from his life and sporting career and the principles of success he has learned, providing readers with the tools to overcome adversity in pursuit of their business ambitions |
