Speaker
My lived experience as a disabled person and a survivor of attempted suicide, has taught me to approach life with a unique perspective. I'm known for being a bit of a cheeky chappy, but make no mistake - I'm also confident and well respected in my field.

Adventurer
I understand the challenges that come with getting around in a wheelchair and experiencing the great outdoors, which is why I created Powerchair Adventuring, activities for people like me who don't want their disability to hold them back from living life to the full.
​
I champion ability over disability, and I use my adventures to show whats possible.

Shine A Light
Every month I will be shining a light on one of the courageous guests I've had the honour and privilege to interview over the past year, for my new podcast, Lived Experience Chats.
​
This month I shine the light on Chris O'Connell, a business coach and mentor, host of the purpose-led leadership podcast, survivor of suicide and someone I am proud to call a friend. His values, resilience, strength and courage is what has gotten him through some horrendous experiences over the years and yet he has found a way to stand tall, head up high and live life.
