Billy is New Zealand's best-loved motivator and fitness fanatic. He's bold, bouncy and brimming over with energy and enthusiasm. He's spent a lifetime involved in sport and physical fitness.
His presentations are 'punchy', 'lively' and 'fun' and he is full of energy ... his humorous presentations are always memorable. He is a former NZ and Australasian light welterweight boxing champion who delights in telling stories of his own life (growing up and getting into trouble on the streets of NaeNae) and how he achieved success through training, goal setting, determination and a healthy mind and body.
Billy stresses the importance of combining a healthy body with a healthy attitude and of making the very best of every opportunity. He talks to a wide cross-section of businesses on how performance levels in the workplace are directly related to the health and attitude of individual team members - how this impacts on the results that the business posts.
He left school unable to read or write but eventually started his own business and appeared on TVNZ programme "Made in New Zealand". Billy designed a unique fitness concept which he manufactures and sells internationally (clients have included the British Army & US Airforce) - no small achievement for a dyslexic who left school at 14 yrs!
Billy is in constant demand as a guest speaker at conferences and business functions. He has delivered keynote presentations throughout New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and the UK. He was the first major platform speaker from NZ at the Million Dollar Round Table Convention in Atlanta and received a standing ovation from an audience of around 5,000. This achievement gained him a feature spot on "60 Minutes".
Billy is walking evidence that his formula works - he has devised simple fitness/health strategies for busy people (whatever their current state of health). He loves people and delights in sharing his zest for living with others, whether business executives or school children. His warm and enthusiastic presentations inspire his audiences to challenge their outlook and re-evaluate their fitness and food choices to increase their potential. He's indeed a personal motivator.
Billy recently realised a long time goal of opening his own boxing Academy - he wanted to give under-achieving kids the same opportunity that he was given. With the help of the community and business sponsors, they are now providing a place where children's lives are being significantly altered - they're learning key life-skills and gaining confidence and direction in their lives.
We know you will be absolutely delighted with Billy's performance and his presentations will certainly add value and dynamics to any event!

Testimonials
"Billy’s talk was amusing, entertaining, and interesting, motivating and inspirational. His love of life and of people was evidenced in both his talk and the interactions with people before and after. Both staff and alumni really enjoyed the events. I would use Billy again and commend him to others – particularly when needing an inspirational speaker, that speaks from the heart. Your enthusiasm for life has certainly made an impression on me ... it was an experience I won’t forget for a while."

"Billy’s presentation definitely met my expectations. The first time I’ve ever seen teachers give anyone a standing ovation! It’s going to be difficult to find someone as good for next year’s conference!"
Kip McGrath Education Centre
"Billy was SUPERB!! People are still buzzing and some have tried telling their families about the highlights but the families think that there must have been some funny pills involved to come home so wired up! Outstanding reaction to a great hour and the boss is talking about using you in Oz. Can’t get a better reaction than that."

“Deloitte used Billy as a speaker for our Almni functions run in Auckland and Wellington in November 2004. His talk was amusing, entertaining, and interesting, but also motivating and inspirational. His love of life and of people was evidenced in both his talk and the interactions with people before and after. Both staff and alumni really enjoyed the events. I would use Billy again and commend him to others - particularly when needing an inspirational speaker, that speaks from the heart.”
