More About Billy
Billy Graham is New Zealand’s best-loved platform speaker and fitness advisor. He is bold, bouncy and brimming over with energy and enthusiasm. He has spent a lifetime involved in sport and physical fitness. A former New Zealand and Australasian light welterweight boxing champion, he has achieved international success through goal setting and determination and has turned common sense into an art form.
Billy Graham began life with few advantages. He would have been born on the wrong side of the tracks, if his mates hadn’t stolen the tracks first!
Billy’s is a story that romps from a nine year old boy selling discarded record albums from the local dump, to the Billy Graham of today, in demand all over the world as a unique motivator.
Billy’s motivational talks began when a top AMP executive heard him speak to sports groups and asked him to speak at their annual conference. Since then, he has spoken throughout Australasia, Singapore, Malaysia, the USA and Britain. In June 1997 he was the main platform speaker at the Million Dollar Round Table Convention in Atlanta, a New Zealand first, and received a standing ovation from an audience of 5000! This success resulted in Billy again being featured on television, this time on ’60 Minutes’ in 1997. In early 1998 Billy had his motivational memoir, ?Your Ship Came in the Day the Doctor Smacked Your Bum’ published.
Billy puts his winning philosophy into practice every day of his life. Most importantly, he loves people and delights in sharing his zest for living with others, whether they be business executives or school children. His warm and enthusiastic presentation inspires his audience to challenge their outlook and increase their potential. He indeed is a personal motivator!
