PUBLIC SPEAKING

Sophie has proven a significant asset to organisations and businesses through her numerous public speaking and ambassadorial roles. When brands are looking for inspirational sporting figures to speak at events and engagements, there are few as uniquely appealing as Sophie. Her story, experiences and natural wit make her a very personal and memorable speaker across a range of topics.

From growing up with a disability to sporting success, from politics to changing the perception of para-sport and disability in the UK and worldwide, Sophie is adept at tackling the very serious to the light-hearted. Just ask her how it feels to hold eight gold medals, or how she tackled Boris Johnson on the subject of disabled access on London’s transport system!

BOOK SOPHIE

Sophie spoke at the Recruitment Industry Disability Initiative (RIDI) conference and was enormously well received by our delegates. To an audience of industry leaders, Sophie openly shared her story of amazing Paralympic success along with her challenge to find a job worthy of her first-class degree in Maths. Sophie shared the hurdles she encountered along the way to securing a job and the support she receives in her current role. Sophie really captured the theme of the conference and inspired many of our delegates to address their disability employment practices.
