Gerry Duffy
At the age of 27, Gerry found himself stuck in a rut. Bored with life and his physical condition - a symptom of how he was living his life back then, 50lbs heavier, an addicted smoker and unhappy. Every day he did the same, and got the same.
He decided to take responsibility for himself, made some changes, took up running, created and embraced a healthier lifestyle and as a result, got much fitter both physically and mentally. At that time he was in a less than stimulating job, but quickly realised it wasn’t the job that was the problem - it was himself. It was his attitude to it and his lack of ambition for it. As soon as he changed, everything started to change.
Since then, he has run 32 marathons in 32 days and completed a number of other endurance adventures. Hugely inspiring, he has spoken to audiences all over the world, created a speaking and training business on goal setting, leadership, motivation, mind-set techniques and written two best-selling books in the hope that the knowledge he shares will help you achieve your goals.
