John lives in Sydney, Australia and was born and educated in Poland. He migrated to Australia alone in 1981 with Civil Engineering qualifications, and worked as a freelance Marketing Consultant. In 1987 he ventured into video and television production starting his own business called the Family Broadcasting Network.
He always had a passion for sailing and in 1992 the Rich Challenge was born and he was actively planning and organizing sponsors for his Around the World sailing competition when he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. A successful operation was followed by almost fatal complications, and in those grey times facing death, John discovered new depths of determination and tactics to turn away from despair and seek new goals and challenges.
Finding the will to fight back he eventually joined the BT Global Challenge 1996-97 crewed by people with disabilities. He helped this brave crew sail halfway around the world before another severe challenge to his physical health struck. Many would have thrown in the towel, but not John.
He overcame all his health problems and started another successful business as a management consultant evaluating financial ratings, IT and marketing solutions for large corporations.
John has over 35 years sales and customer service experience and has been working in the retail sector for the past six years, developing innovative sales and customer service training programs. He is a highly sort after educator and professional speaker due to his ability to communicate a clear message to his audience.
