Heather Mills
Over the years Heather has developed into one of the best
motivational speakers on the circuit as it is not just those that
have experienced severe trauma that can benefit from Heathers
particular brand of motivational magic. Heather is a renowned
Keynote speaker contacted regularly by businesses, societies and
various groups to give inspirational talks, to an audience
consisting of anything from 30 to 3,000 people, and lasting from
twenty minutes to two hours. Not needing any notes gives her the
ability to address the workforce or membership of any field on a
universal theme and has taken Heather as Guest speaker to meetings
all around the world.
A life as rich and diverse as Heather’s brings a human element to
any topic, and makes a refreshing change from your typical
podium-hanging, paper rustling speaker. Heather has learned how to
turn the
most negative of situations into the most productive, drawing on her
boundless energy reserves, and a strength of mind and
resourcefulness that has enabled her to achieve so much in so little
time, overcoming hurdles that would have stopped most of us before
we had even started.
Heather's life changed forever when in August 1993 she was involved
in a road accident with a police motorcycle and suffered numerous
injuries including crushed ribs, a punctured lung, multiple
fractures of the pelvis and the loss of her left leg below the knee.
It was Heather's single minded determination during her recovery
that shone through when she received much media attention after her
accident and many people claimed to have become motivated and
inspired themselves by her positive attitude and approach to her
recovery.
With the intense media interest in her quick recovery, and her
inherent ability to identify an opportunity to help those in need
she set up the Heather Mills Health Trust to use redundant
artificial limbs from the UK and redistribute them in the then
former Yugoslavia.
Just one year after this accident, Heather arranged for the first
convoy of artificial limbs to be sent to Croatia. Since then over
400,000 amputees and survivors of landmine explosions around the
world have been helped.
Heather’s personal experience as an amputee and the positive
manner in which she dealt with her own recovery gives Heather a
unique insight and affinity with those who themselves have lived
through a tragic experience. Heather uses her experience and
motivational abilities when counselling people from around the world
who have lost limbs in accidents, through illness, natural disasters
and terrorist atrocities.
Her personal advice, determination and commitment help them and
their families realise that they too can continue to lead rich and
fulfilling lives despite their injuries. It was in this spirit that
Heather recently appeared on the Hit US Television show Dancing with
the Stars proving this point in spectacular cart wheeling style and
donating her fee to the Charity Viva!
