Clive Gott was once a ginger haired spotty faced council house kid and whilst none of these things are anything to be ashamed of, he isn’t anymore. He is an adventurer who has completed some amazing and physically gruelling challenges and an internationally renowned Professional Speaker. Although he is pigeon-holed as a Motivational Speaker, he prefers to be known as an Inspirational Humourist. Clives message is generic; it does not recognise age, race, religion, gender or job titles as these testimonials concur...
"You made your talk funny which engaged us and,
although we were sat for quite a long time, we never got bored!"
(Emma, Year 9, Brayton College)
"When Clive is on form (and he always is)
he is the best there is at what he does!"
(Etta Cohen, MD, Forward Ladies)
"The feedback we have received from delegates has been nothing short of
sensational and I would be happy to recommend Clive
for any other similar events"
(Maggie Shannon, Great Places Housing Group)
Clive Gott is a down to earth Yorkshireman with a style that proves he is passionate about what he does. His purpose is to be a permanent inspiration to anyone and everyone who seeks it. His passion is to encourage and inspire everyone, be they suits in the city, students at college, sales professionals or world class athletes, to take life by the throat and say "I’m not done yet!" When Clive speaks, he has a unique ability to involve his audience making it real for everyone there. His goal is to have his audience saying "me too!" within minutes of starting to speak.
Most of all, though, Clive is authentic, he is his story and, most importantly of all as some of the pictures on this page will testify, he walks his talk. Muhammad Ali once said:
"What counts in the ring is what you can do after you are exhausted.
The same is true in life."
Clive Gott is testimony to these words. What counts in Clives life and career is what he does after he is exhausted. Whether that exhaustion is mental or physical, Clive has ther ability and capacity to find something extra.
And one of his greatest skills is his ability to pass that on to others.
Clive is a student of life who happens to be compassionate, courageous, inspirational and very funny. Using his own achievements (and blunders) and life experiences as his main examples, Clive has the unique ability to make the complex seem simple to understand, the challenging seem achievable and the impossible seem possible.
