Ollie Thorn transforms adversity into opportunity as a disability inclusion specialist, endurance athlete, and keynote speaker who helps organisations build resilient cultures through authentic leadership and inclusive practices.
Following a life-altering motorcycle accident that ended his British Army career, Ollie rebuilt his life to become a professional para-athlete in downhill sit skiing, raised over £1 million for charity, and completed remarkable endurance challenges, including a 70.3 Ironman. As head facilitator for the Valuable 500's Generation Valuable program, he guides executive mentoring partnerships between senior leaders and disabled talent.
Ollie's firsthand experience navigating extreme change translates into practical strategies for organisations facing disruption. He demonstrates how developing psychological safety fosters high-performing teams, while his expertise in disability inclusion helps companies implement effective strategies that attract diverse talent and promote belonging. His approach combines personal resilience techniques with organisational culture development.
Audiences leave Ollie's presentations with actionable frameworks for building resilient mindsets during uncertainty, practical tools for creating psychologically safe team environments, and strategies for implementing meaningful disability inclusion initiatives that drive business performance.
