65: Unblind the Mind with Darren Harris
Show Notes

I was really looking forward to interviewing Darren as he has such an infectious personality and great attitude in life, as you will hear in our interview

 Darren Harris is an author, speaker and coach on mindset mastery.

 He works with forward thinking organisations that want inspiration, courage and determination to tackle life’s biggest challenges.

Black, blind and a badass footballer – Darren is the most capped England blind footballer, he uses real-life examples to bring different perspectives to his clients in business, education and sport.

 His motto “The eyes are useless when the Mind is Blind” transformed his thinking of what blindness means, and began his mission to "Unblind the mind."

 Darren is a regional president of the Professional Speaking Association, graduate of The Coaching Academy, Amazon #1 best-selling author, and recipient of an honorary doctorate for outstanding public service.

 Some key points from our interview:

·        How he denied what was going on for a while whilst his sight was failing

·        How sports, especially football, gave him focus and direction

·        How he realised that he wasn’t going to live the limited life he thought he would because of his blindness

·        How he’s learnt to thrive and experience life in many different ways

·        How he realised that whatever he had lost, he could survive without it

"Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling" features  individuals who have all triumphed after adversity and have not just bounced back in life, but forward and are now making a difference for others.

Hosted by Madeleine Black, the show will share stories of all the amazing people Madeleine has met on her own journey as an author/speaker and these stories will heal, motivate, inspire and bring hope when they share their wisdom and knowledge with her.

She really believes in the power that comes when we share our stories, that in fact we are not story tellers but story healers. Tune in to discover what helped them to stay unbroken and together we will discover that none of us are broken beyond repair.
