AUTHOR, STORY TELLER, seminar SPEAKER
Finding Inspiration At Every Turn
First...Callam Steele is my author 'Nom de Plume, my name is John Lear!
Now retired from the Corporate World where I enjoyed a diverse career having duffed out of University in my late teens due to the pressure to earn money
to get a motorbike and impress the girls!!
I started work in Retail as a Warehouse Boy and 20 years later somehow, to the amazement of my shocked parents who, having sent me to Public School and who had wanted me to become a Veterinary Surgeon were delighted that I finished up as the Operations Director of 197 million turnover PLC with 2000 staff!!
Seeking freedom, I left the Corporate World and in conjunction with my beautiful
Scots wife Nancy, as a Business Consultants and Keynote Speakers, we delivered motivational, self development and business development seminars to over a quarter of a million delegates at venues such as the NEC, NIA, SECC Glasgow, Wembley Arena, Cardiff Arena and other venues in Europe.
I have always loved writing, and my interests range from Personal and Business Development to Science Fiction, Romance, and anything in between, including Children's books ...as I am now a very proud Grandpa!
I have always been interested in aeroplanes and went on to gain a Pilot's Licence which has now lapsed, so that my passion for aeroplanes is now satisfied by designing, building and flying radio controlled model aircraft instead!
