1997 was a fateful year for keynote speaker and adventurer Warren Macdonald. His accident on North Queensland’s (Australia) Hinchinbrook Island while climbing to the Island’s tallest peak should redefine his life boundaries. Warren Macdonald became trapped beneath a one-ton slab boulder in a freak rock fall. Two days later he was rescued, only to undergo the amputation of both legs at the mid thigh.
Motivational speaker Warren Macdonald did not let his fate break his will for adventure. In less than a year after the accident, he climbed the Tasmanian Cradle Mountain using a modified wheelchair and the seat of his pants. The climb of Mt Kilimanjaro followed in 2003 and after that the unbelievable effort of the ascent of America's tallest cliff face, El Capitan.
Warren Macdonald published his lessons of life in the Australian bestseller “A Test of Will” and was featured in an episode of the Discovery Channel series “I Shouldn’t Be Alive”. Another documentary, “The Second Step”, treats the epic four-week journey to Federation Peak, Australia’s most challenging mountain summit.
When giving talks, speaker Warren Macdonald works effectively and successfully with teams outside and within the healthcare sector. He empowers, engages and inspires. By taking his life story as an example, Warren Macdonald is able to infect teams with a mindset of, as he calls it, “Bring it!”. Warren is a keynote speaker who pushes boundaries and helps you to make the impossible possible.
