Kriss Akabusi - Tribal plates for Mr Motivation
Kriss Akabusi MBE is remembered for his outstanding performances
for Great Britain in the world of athletics and the successful
television career that followed, presenting The Big Breakfast
and Record Breakers.
Today the gold medallist is a highly sought after motivational
speaker. Working from his business, The Akabusi Company, in Ampthill,
Bedfordshire, he has found his natural ability to be an inspiration
to others, the source of this newfound success. Amongst the scores
of companies that have called upon Kriss's expertise are: BT,
Marks & Spencer, T-Mobile and Siemens.
Kriss's own motivation and drive comes from his duty to his two
children as well as his need to belong. "My sense of belonging
is a like a tribal need that I've felt from a young age right
though the years that I was in the army, up to today, when I thrive
on being able to engage an audience when I speak. I have read
many books by the great motivational speakers of the world, such
as Anthony Robbins and Stephen R. Covey and together with my own
strategies and experience, I can deliver a dynamic presentation
tailored to the needs of the organisation I am working with."
Staunchly proud of his Nigerian background and particularly his
roots with the Igbo tribe, Kriss decided to buy the personalised
number plate K1 GBO, to celebrate this (the K stands for Kriss
and the 1GBO for the Igbo tribe.)
"I also have M12 KDA, ECC 724 and D12 MOT which represents
'Dr. Motivation' - it's a great fun plate! My interest in number
plates goes back to 1980 when I came back to the UK from Germany.
I started spotting them around and thought that ones like B1 TCH
and LUV 1T are fantastic - so amusing and direct - the perfect
way to personalise a car."
