Open Water Swimming Mastery

 


Motivation, Performance and Success expert Shelley Taylor-Smith is one of the World’s most renown teachers, best-selling authors and presenters and she delivers it just as she is – honest, from the heart, down to earth, passionate and patriotic. 

Her inspirational message is living with conviction in life, both personally and professionally and how to create our own Champion Mindset with attitude, belief and confidence.

Motivational Keynote Speaker, International Best Selling Author, Business Trainer, Performance Coach and Women’s Leadership Consultant

Regardless of being tagged with ‘no natural ability’, ‘disabled’ and ‘nothing above average’, 7-time Women’s World No.1 Marathon Swimming Champion Shelley Taylor-Smith is still the only woman to achieve No.1 World Ranking for both men and women in the history of any sport worldwide.

A 2-time West Australian of the Year - Australian of the Year Finalist (1989 & 1991) and nicknamed ‘Dangerous When Wetby her competitors (and apt title of her biography); Shelley believes anyone can achieve the impossible with the right combination of Mindset, Motivation & Mental Toughness.

Today Shelley inspires as she speaks to individuals and teams (sales, customer service, call centres, financial planners, mortgage insurance brokers, and sporting teams) everywhere and anywhere in her favourite backyard, Australia; how- to “Unleash their Inner Winner’ so they can Champion their own lives, careers and businesses.

More known today for her patriotism and passion than her world titles (and beating the blokes), Shelley is passionately committed to one and only mission: to help you achieve your birthright….Becoming the Champion that you were born to be!

Shelley’s greatest personal achievement is not a title or an award. It is the result of her achieving the No.1 world ranking for both men and women that lead to the governing body FINA, creating equal prize money for men and women and separate rankings that is her global legacy for women.

Dedicated out of the water as she was in it; Shelley gives back as Ambassador of The Esther Foundation in Western Australia, Board Member for Swan River Trust & Burswood Park for Western Australian State Government and consults for Swimming Australia Limited & Swimming Western Australia.

Living her life on purpose, Shelley is now committed to teaching her “fellow sister” to support each other's power and leadership into the world, without having to lose their feminine spark. "The Feminine Code™" gives women the tools to utilise their unique gifts, strengths, talents and purpose in business and life. This life changing program combines hope, possibility and energy that is ready to be unleashed by women who want more from life!


�Shelley will not tell you what you want to hear, she�ll tell you what you need to hear!�
�Her enthusiasm is contagious and her passion mind blowing!�
�A rollercoaster ride of emotions that you never want the ride to stop.�
�Not in 7 years organising conferences have I witnessed a standing ovation with not a dry eye in the room.�

I highly recommend taking the next step, and attending one of her Champion Goal Setting Workshops." Belinda Lawton, NSW
