Warren Macdonald

I know what it means to face adversity, to wake up to a whole new reality. In 1997 I lost both legs above the knee in a horrific backcountry accident; spending two days trapped beneath a one ton boulder… I live and breathechange management every day. I am routinely sought out as a keynote speaker and motivator by innovative, forward thinking organizations looking to foster “out of the box” thinking; the kind of thinking that led me to become the first double above-knee amputee to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak (19,222ft); the kind of thinking that empowers potential: "A powerful catalyst for change, Warren’s presentation challenges the status quo by telling audiences what they need hear, not what they necessarily want to hear…" My bestselling book, “A Test of Will” is the subject of the “Trapped under a Boulder” episode of Discovery’s “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” series. My documentary film “The Second Step” has been acclaimed worldwide, screening on National Geographic Television and winning eight international awards. I have appeared on “Larry King Live”, “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, and “The Hour” with George Stroumboulopoulos. I have written articles for “CNN World Edition” (WWW), “Australian Geographic”, “Speaking of Impact” and “Professional Speaker”. My mission is to help you change the way you see the world, and your place in it.
