Featured Keynote Programs

A LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS (Motivation, Inspiration)

In this presentation, Chrissie encourages her audience to live 'A Life Without Limits'. Chrissie discusses her unique and unorthodox path to professional sport, including her life prior to becoming a professional athlete. Unlike some world class athletes who were 'born into a sport', Chrissie earned undergraduate and masters degrees, travelled for 2 years, worked on international development policy for the UK government, and managed development projects in Nepal. Only after that did she take up triathlon! Chrissie shows audiences how to take a chance, look fear in the face and defy limits of what people might think is possible.
