🏅 Speaker Bio

This is a short description that you can use to market Darren for your event:

Darren Harris built his elite performance mindset the hard way - by living without it first. He lost his sight as a child and spent years waiting for a miracle cure, instead of learning how to live without one.

The turning point came during his 23-year sporting career, where he became a dual Paralympian, multiple World and European medallist, and most-capped England blind footballer.

During this period, he went from psychology sceptic to scholar. When he realised the problem was never a lack of talent or effort but a missing set of mental skills.

As an award-winning keynote speaker, he specialises in giving leaders and teams the psychological tools to better prepare for and respond to adversity, and has delivered 450+ presentations to 150,000+ people worldwide since 2013.

Beyond the stage, Darren sits on various boards and committees, plays the piano and guitar, and recently signed up for his first Hyrox

🎤 Speaker Intro

This is a short introduction that the MC reads aloud to welcome Darren Harris to the stage:

Our next speaker will Unblind Your Mind!

In his talk, he will give you the mental skills to prepare for, and respond to adversity.

He is a dual Paralympian, England’s most capped blind footballer, honorary doctor, and best-selling author accolades he has earned not despite, but because of his blindness.

Please help me, welcome to the stage, Darren Harris.

đź“˝ Speaker AV Request

This section is to enhance the audio-visual experience: I will run my presentation from PowerPoint. You can transfer it to your PC using a USB, WeTransfer, or email provided there is wi-fi access to YouTube during the presentation. I may advance the slides using a clicker, or ask the MC to do so using the prompt “next slide please”. The slides contain audio and video. I prefer a lapel or headset microphones, but it is not required.
