Chrissie Wellington

Chrissie Wellington is a speaker, author, and World Champion Ironman Triathlete who took a unique pathway to professional sport. Growing up, she never excelled at sports. She traveled the world for two years, gained a master's degree, and worked as a policy advisor on international development for the UK government, lived and worked in Nepal, and only became a professional triathlete at age 30—having discovered a talent she never knew she had. Within five years, Wellington became a four-time Ironman World Champion and set multiple world records in the process.

Wellington is passionate about using her platform to convey valuable messages, inspire people, and drive positive change globally. She is an acclaimed public speaker whose impassioned, energetic, and inspiring delivery encourages and energizes audiences to face their fears, set challenging goals, and defy what they think may be possible to achieve. Her keynote program "A LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS" focuses on motivation and inspiration, discussing her unorthodox path to professional sports and how to live without limits. Additionally, "THE ART OF TRIATHLON" uses strategies from Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' for discussing goal setting, preparation, and overcoming adversity.

In her continued effort to promote positive change, Wellington works closely with clients to ensure that her speeches are tailored to suit the audience and the needs of the client. The numerous testimonials bear witness to this success. She is passionate about a range of issues, including health and wellness, as highlighted in her keynote "CHRISSIE'S KEYS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS," which encourages positive role models in sports and discusses her own struggles with eating disorders during early adulthood. Wellington adds a unique dimension to any event, offering to engage in a run, ride, or swim with the more adventurous audiences.
