Darren Harris

HOW TO UNBLOCK THE PATH TO SUCCESS

11.00AM – 12.00PM, MUSIC SCHOOL FIFTH FORM

Author, speaker and founder of Unblind the Mind, Darren Harris inspires audiences to change how they see themselves, other people and the world around them so they can navigate the invisible obstacles blocking their path to success. Losing his sight after being diagnosed and treated for cancer of both eyes aged fifteen months, Darren discovered that the eyes are useless when the mind is blind, a phrase that also became his motto.

A perennial underachiever in school, at work and on the sports field, Darren only began making the most of his talents following the intervention of a select group of people he calls Enablers.

In addition to being a professional speaker and peak performance coach, Darren is a dual-sport Paralympian, England’s most capped blind footballer, judo black belt, psychology master, honorary doctor and bestselling author.
