About the Author

David Fox-Pitt MBE is a born motivator who has been enthusing and inspiring people for over thirty years. Fox-Pitt is passionate about making a difference. The staggering impact of his adventure challenge business, WildFox Events Ltd, is testament to this and has so far raised over GBP40 million for charity world-wide, all from the family base in the Scottish Highlands. He likes to tempt people to surpass their own expectations as they take part in his events and he leads by example by pushing himself - in 2019 he cycled from Land's End to John O' Groats on a Penny Farthing. Afterwards he admitted it was one of the toughest challenges he'd ever undertaken. Why the Penny Farthing? "...because it makes people smile". Positiverosity (R) is David's word for positive energy combined with a generous spirit and is the core value behind his motivational programmes davidfoxpitt.club .
