Paul Templer Biography
Paul Templer is living proof that your life can change in an instant, and when it does, if you want to, you get to choose what's possible and what happens next.
He was born in Africa (Zimbabwe), amidst war and strife. Wanderlust struck him early and he traveled the globe, he served with distinction in the British Army, and led extreme expeditions to some of the last uncharted places left on earth and by all accounts had a rip-roaring time. Eventually, he "settled down" to lead photographic safaris back in his native homeland. That was until he was attacked by a rogue hippopotamus. Now THAT was a bad day at the office! The attack took the life of another guide who Templer was trying to save and cost Templer his left arm.
Immediately after the attack Templer clumsily navigated the dark dysfunctional space that seemed to stretch out ahead of him. His life had been, quite literally, ripped apart. A master storyteller, Templer drip feeds his entertaining and inspiring step-by-step journey, captivating and inspiring, audiences as they journey with him as he somehow thrives amidst stunning survival and loss, spanning continents and cultures. Maiming, death, disease, heartbreak, and a global pandemic provide the backdrop for an unlikely merger of stories and reflections that he skillfully shares.
Successful speaker, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and committed Dad, his books, keynotes, and programs detail the "you've got to be kidding me" stories that color his exotically dramatic life... whilst his ongoing work on the cutting edge of neuro literacy, applied neuroplasticity and optimal performance coupled with hefty doses of practical common sense honed over years of working on the frontlines with corporate, philanthropic, and military personnel, infuse his insights, illuminating the path to discovering the magnificence and resilience that resides with-in us all. He uses his experiences to inform, entertain, inspire, challenge, and empower people to build the personal and professional life they've always wanted—one choice and one productive action at a time.
Templer's story has been featured all over the place, including the BBC, National Geographic Channel and Discovery Channel, where the attack and rescue have inspired millions.
