With his keynote, we have professional speaker Darren Harris.
Like you, Darren Harris has heard blindness described in numerous ways. Is it a physical condition or social problem? Characterised by dependence, helplessness, and incompetence? Symbolised by guide dogs, white canes, and dark lasses? Or – is there a different story to tell?
With over fifty years of experience in education, sport and business, his view is radically different. Darren gives his audiences an understanding that regardless of whether you have sight or not, blindness is a state of mind that changes how you see yourself, other people, and the world around you. He argues that “Only when you unblind your mind, do you uncover the obstacles that block your path to success.”
Key takeaways:
- Two types of obstacles that stand between you and your goal.
- The one element you have the power to change.
- The psychological attributes that enable instead of disable people.
- How to build interpersonal relationships that reduce conflict and build trust.
- The lifestyle practices that prevent burnout and improve well-being.
We will also have 60 second speakers, a workshop and mastermind session!
Keynote speakers
Darren Harris is a speaker, coach and facilitator who gives people in business and education the psychological skills to overcome adversity. He works with organisations that want a fun, unique and positive perspective.
He lost his sight after he was diagnosed with cancer of both eyes. But although he couldn’t regain his sight, he could unblind his mind, which meant transforming how he viewed blindness.
A dual Paralympian, Darren is best known as England’s most capped blind footballer. But he also competed at the Games in judo.
His motto is “Your eyes are useless unless you use what’s between your ears”.
