When Failure Leads To Confidence With Danielle Brown
Danielle shares her story of how she has broken barriers. After becoming disabled as a teenager, Danielle realised that even in adversity we have a choice. Choose to let the things outside your control get on top of you, or choose to control your response to it.
Listen in as Danielle talks about taking up archery on her 15th birthday, Danielle made the Great Britain team three years later, jumping straight in as world number 1. She hung onto that position for her entire career. Danielle is a five time World Champion and 2 time Paralympic gold medallist, winning gold in Beijing 2008 and retaining her title on home soil in London 2012. She also became the first disabled person to represent England as an able-bodied competitor at the Commonwealth Games, where she won gold.
Danielle now works as a keynote speaker, trainer and coach. She specialises in helping others unlock their potential, break through barriers and achieve more. With over a decade of experience in public speaking, Danielle also teaches people how to deliver awesome speeches with big impact messages and captivates their audience.
Working with young people is an important social aspect to what Danielle does and she is passionate about helping young people develop strong foundations for success. Be Your Best Self, a children’s self-development book she has co-authored with nine year old Nathan Kai, is being released in September 2019.
