The following recommendations will give you a flavour of what to expect,

We were lucky enough to have Dr . Julie Bradshaw as a motivational speaker at the Ecoflow Conference in 2002 . People were astounded by her personal achievements with swimming and truly inspired by her clarity and self-belief . They genuinely felt privileged to meet her and still talk about her successes all these years later . There is no doubt that she inspires others to achieve more . "

(Mark De Salis, Ecoflow Network Coordinator & Company Trainer 2002)

“Julie came to speak at Bromsgrove School in the Michaelmas Term of 2006 . She delivered a wonderfully engaging and inspirational talk about her achievements in swimming, most notably her cross Channel swims . Her talk outlined the dedication that you have to have when preparing for long distance endurance events and highlighted Julie’s own inner strength and tenacity . She came across as a wonderful role model…her photos and footage really made the talk come alive…I can recommend her highly…”
