Carl Peach is an inspirational public speaker who is certainly no stranger to adversity. At 59, he was diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable defect in his optic nerve, rendering him significantly visually impaired. Though a nightmare for many, this major life development would become a catalyst for Carl – one that manifested in the form of his passion for public speaking. Well-versed in the art of inspiration, Carl blends lived stories with ‘pin drop’ moments to deliver keynote speeches that leave audiences breathless. No matter the obstacle, success is always within reach, and Carl Peach uses public speaking to deliver this message to the masses.
However, Carl’s experience with overcoming life’s challenges also stems from the struggles he faced prior to developing blindness. In his earlier years, Carl battled two significant roadblocks – gambling and poor health. Yet, as opposed to letting either get the better of him, Carl made a conscious choice to quit gambling in 2017 and focus on fitness. Fast forward to the present day, Carl is now a proud half-marathon runner and weight training enthusiast who has taken on a 10 Million Step Challenge to raise funds for NAB - Sight Support for Nothamptonshire. In doing so, he's hoping that his determination and resilience will go on to inspire any who may doubt their abilities.
In every aspect of his life, Carl radiates a positivity that permeates every person he meets. Whether he’s impacting those looking to join him in his fundraising challenge or audiences attending his captivating talks, Carl approaches life with an exhilarating sense of determination. On the stage, he excels at weaving engaging stories that pull from his personal experiences to leave a lasting impression. From discussing how to stop your past from defining your future, to exploring how to navigate major life changes in a positive way, Carl Peach is in the business of transforming lives.
