Paul Hockey is an inspiring motivational speaker, adventurer and cancer survivor whose extraordinary life story proves that limitations exist only in the mind. Perfect for corporate conferences, leadership events, schools, community programs and motivational speaking engagements, Paul delivers a powerful message of resilience, determination and the courage to pursue seemingly impossible goals.
Known as the “One-Armed Boxer”, Paul lost his right arm to cancer as an infant, yet refused to let adversity define his future. A martial artist with three black belts and an accomplished mountaineer, he made history in 2005 as the first person with a disability to successfully climb the North Face route of Mount Everest. After falling just 200 metres short of the summit on his first attempt, Paul returned a year later to achieve his dream, demonstrating the power of persistence and self-belief.
Through humour, honesty and captivating storytelling, Paul Hockey shares life-changing lessons on mindset, resilience and overcoming adversity. His presentations inspire audiences to challenge their own perceived limitations and embrace the belief that “impossible is just an opinion.”
