An Interview With Kyran Bracken

What is motivational speaking about for you?

It all depends on the brief, what I deliver, and what I share with the audience. But essentially I enjoy taking the audience on my journey of becoming the best, in a very competitive and challenging environment. Bouncing back from personal and collective disappointments, and re-setting goals once success has been achieved. I highlight the required traits both as an individual and as a team-member of world class performance setup to be successful.

Can you remember your first speaking engagement?

Yes. This was after dinner when I won my first England cap in 1993….I was awful!

And your last event?

The Institute for Directors. I delivered a 30 minute after lunch talk, and then joined John Barnes and Jonah Lomu in a Q&A panel session.

Which event has been your favourite and why?

Recently I’d say the IoD appearance, as I was very well received by a crowd that have heard a whole variety of speakers in the past.
