Chrissie Wellington

Chrissie Wellington took a unique pathway to professional sport. Growing up she never excelled at sport. She travelled the world for two years, gained a masters degree, worked as a policy advisor on international development policy 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. Five years later she was four-time World Ironman Champion.

Wellington is passionate about using her platform to convey valuable messages, inspire people, and drive positive change across the world. 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. She addresses corporations, conferences, universities, schools, voluntary organizations and special interest groups with a message that goes far beyond triathlon and sport.

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, and able to speak on a variety of topics to suit the organization and situation. Of course, she is more than willing add a unique dimension to any event, with a run, ride, or swim for the more adventurous audiences!
