Passionate – Dedicated – Professional
My name is Ian Walton, and I am an inspiring motivational speaker who has dedicated my career to helping people transform the way they think, live, and lead.
I am known for my passionate delivery and authentic storytelling, and I like to bring energy and clarity to every stage of our journey together.
What I talk about is more than speeches — they are experiences that challenge people to break free from limitations, embrace resilience, and pursue growth with purpose.
With years of experience working with individuals, teams, and organisations, I provide a unique and holistic ability to connect with audiences from all walks of life.
I hope to deliver a message that resonates because it is practical, relatable, and rooted in a genuine desire to see people succeed. By combining powerful insights with actionable strategies, my objective is to leave my listeners not only motivated but equipped to take meaningful steps toward their goals.
Whether speaking to a small group or a packed auditorium, my mission remains the same: to inspire confidence, unlock potential, and empower people to achieve more than they ever imagined possible.
My vision is to help create a world where individuals thrive, leaders inspire, and communities grow stronger through the power of belief and action.
Why Driven Dad?
Life has a way of presenting moments that redefine who we are, what we do and why we do it. For me, that moment came when everything shifted—when priorities became clearer than ever following some unexpected events. I chose a path that allows me not only to shape the future of my young daughter but also to help leaders, teams, and businesses unlock their true potential.
With years of experience guiding organisations through growth, transformation, and challenge, I now bring that same drive and clarity to my work as a motivational speaker and business consultant. My mission is simple: to inspire executives to lead with purpose, embrace change, and achieve extraordinary results—without losing sight of what really matters.

“Some people see calamity in every opportunity; I see opportunity in every calamity”
Here is what sets me apart from every other motivational speaker and business consultant out there:
The customer creates my invoice!
Challenge me with a specific business-related and/or motivational topic to speak about at your workplace, your event, your conference – whether to the C-suite leadership team, the sales team or any other department – and you choose to pay what you feel it was worth! I will then send you the invoice based on what you chose to pay.
Don’t feel I hit the mark? Then don’t pay! We’ll shake hands and we’ll part as friends. The same applies to my consultancy work, and it doesn’t come with a load of terms & conditions or an expiry date.
It’s really simple – tell me what you need help with, whether sales, strategic planning, exit planning, emergency restructuring, boosting the bottom line, reorganising teams – whatever it may be. If I don’t feel I can help and add real value, then I’ll tell you from the outset. And if I can help, then again, you create my invoice; pay what you feel my work is worth to your organisation.
