Perhaps like yourself I’ve been energised and inspired by the London Olympics and Paralympics. I love the attitude and approach that athletes and sports people have and apply to their lives and their craft.

Over the years I’ve interviewed many wonderful people and among those interviews one of the people I was most impressed by was Dame Tanni Grey Thompson. I was impressed by her warmth, her naturalness, her humility and empathy. The moment to arrived in the room I felt at easy. It’s quite funny, so every day was she that I didn’t even notice her arrive. I turned around and suddenly she was there. 

When someone has that kind of humility and is so personable and everyday it makes their own contribution and accomplishments all the more extraordinary. Anyway here is that interview which I filmed several years ago during filming my pilot TV show The Rasheed  Show, be the change, see the change. This is the short version of the inteview and at some point I’ll have to revisit my original footage to see if we have the full interview.

Rasheed Ogunlaru is a leading life coach – speaker and business coach.
