Warren Macdonald lost both legs above the knees on an Australian mountainside in 1997. He has since climbed Africa's Mt Kilimanjaro, El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, and the 550ft frozen waterfall called "Weeping Wall" in the Canadian Rockies. His first film, "The Second Step" has won eight international awards. His book "A Test of Will" is an Australian bestseller. He's been on Larry King Live and Oprah, and these days is a much sought after Inspirational, Motivational Adventure Keynote Speaker. He lives in Winlaw, Canada.
Name: Warren Macdonald
Age: 43
Challenging times call for a powerful message. A message of hope and inspiration filled with the perspective, lessons and tools required when we are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Warren Macdonald knows what it means to face adversity, to wake up to a whole new reality. In 1997 he lost both legs above the knee in a horrific backcountry accident; spending two days trapped beneath a one ton boulder

Warren is a visionary who lives and breathes change management every day. He is routinely sought out as a keynote speaker and motivator by innovative, forward thinking organizations looking to foster out of the box thinking; the kind of thinking that led Warren to become the first double above-knee amputee to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africas tallest peak (19,222ft); the kind of thinking that empowers potential:

A powerful catalyst for change, Warrens presentation challenges the status quo by telling audiences what they need hear, not what they necessarily want to hear
Warrens bestselling book, A Test of Will is the subject of the Trapped under a Boulder episode of Discoverys I Shouldnt Be Alive series. His documentary film The Second Step has been acclaimed worldwide, screening on National Geographic Television and winning eight international awards.

Warren has appeared on Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos. He has written articles for CNN World Edition (WWW), Australian Geographic, Speaking of Impact and Professional Speaker.

Warrens mission is to help you change the way you see the world, and your place in it.
