Speaker Profile - John Hotowka

John Hotowka is a business speaker, humorist and magician who has first-hand experience of the highs and lows associated with running a business. He started his solo career in 1989 and built a very successful business. In 2002 he suffered a crisis in confidence. He studied high achievers, NLP, Neuroscience and read through a lorry-load of personal development material. He also gained extensive industry knowledge and insight working with numerous blue-chip organisations and small businesses.

After distilling his findings he developed his ‘Achievement Thinking’ methodology which he used to rebuild his life and career, piece by piece, and going on to use the same methodology to lose 100 lbs of excess weight in 100 weeks. He now teaches ‘Achievement Thinking’ to countless corporate and smaller business clients each year, equipping his audiences with the tools they need to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. His clients include Reckitt Benckiser, Pitney Bowes and Marsh to name but a few.
