About

Ollie...

Ollie Thorn is a keynote speaker, advisor and world-first adaptive adventurer whose story challenges the way audiences think about resilience, change and human potential.

After a life-changing injury left him paralysed from the chest down, Ollie rebuilt his future through professional sport, humanitarian work, leadership roles and advisory work with global businesses. Most recently, he completed a world-first expedition, handcycling across Tibet to Everest Base Camp.

Ollie’s talks are not about being superhuman. They are about being human.

Through powerful storytelling, warmth and practical insight, he helps audiences understand how to adapt when the path changes, build confidence through action, and move forward when certainty disappears.

Showreel

I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for taking the time to host our session yesterday. Your story, honesty, and insight had a profound impact on everyone that joined. We’ve received so much positive feedback – people were truly moved, inspired and walked away with a deeper understanding of what inclusion really means.

 

Your session was not only powerful and meaningful, but it also left a lasting impression. The way you shared your journey, the challenges you faced, and how you’ve continued to pursue your passions reminded us of all the strength in vulnerability and the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels seen and supported.
