About
Choose me when you want more than inspiration — you want real perspective shifts and practical tools your audience can use immediately. I combine a Paralympic world record, 40 years of chronic pain turned into wisdom, and decades of coaching high-performers into keynotes and workshops that are raw, honest and deeply practical. Audiences don’t just feel motivated — they leave with simple daily practices from The 1% Method that create lasting change in how they lead, decide and show up. My talks are known for creating powerful moments of silence, laughter, and deep reflection. People walk away having forgotten my cerebral palsy — and instead remember how they want to live and lead. If you’re looking for a speaker who delivers both heart and actionable tools, I’m the right choice. 1. Born Dead. The Permission to Begin. A raw and powerful keynote about overcoming the hardest possible starting point and choosing to run anyway. Perfect for audiences facing change, adversity or feeling stuck. 45–75 minutes. 2. The 1% That Changes Everything How small, honest daily choices create unbreakable momentum. Built from 48+ years of lived experience in elite sports, coaching, art and inner freedom. Ideal for leadership teams and corporate audiences. 45–75 minutes. 3. From Chaos to Clarity Turning severe limitations, pain and setbacks into inner freedom and authentic leadership. Strong for resilience, transformation and wellbeing events. 45–90 minutes.
