Speaker Bio

Darren Harris is a Paralympian, professional speaker, and author, who specialises in helping leaders and teams navigate challenge and change by using psychology-based tools and techniques.

Having lost his sight following a diagnosis of childhood eye cancer, he began to ‘unblind’ his mind—a process of identifying and eliminating blind spots, which led him to become a dual Paralympian and England’s most-capped blind footballer.

He has worked with over 300 organisations across five continents since 2013, including brands such as Allianz, BAE Systems, and HSBC, which want to apply the lessons he has learned in 23 years as a world-class athlete.

As a multi-award-winning speaker and Fellow of the Professional Speaking Association, he delivers inspiring talks at conferences and events on overcoming adversity, combining lived experience, compelling storytelling, and proven strategies for success.

When he’s not standing on stage, he is sitting in a board room, running in his local park, or lying in an ice bath.

Speaker Intro

Our guest today will give you psychology-based tools and techniques you can use immediately to overcome adversity like a pro.

He is a dual Paralympian, inductee to the Football Hall of Fame, honorary doctor, and best-selling author –accolades he has earned not despite, but because of his blindness.

Please welcome to the show … Darren Harris.
