Chris Moon MBE

Chris Moon helps people and organisations around the world grow and improve personal and team performance. He’s been a keynote speaker and run change and leadership programs for over twenty five years working with a wide range of audiences from the public and private sector and international business schools.

Chris is one of the most fortunate people to be alive you’re likely to meet. His exploits have been covered in a Discovery documentary I Shouldn’t Be Alive.

Chris Moon is a former British Army Officer with three year’s operational experience who left to work for a charity clearing land mines. He’s survived being taken prisoner in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge (one of the most brutal terror groups in history) and negotiated his release and that of two colleagues from threatened execution.

In 1995 he was blown up in a supposedly safe area of a minefield in remote East Africa losing an arm and a leg (ironically doing one of the least dangerous things he did). He survived initially because he treated himself. About fourteen hours after injury he arrived in South Africa where doctors say they’d never seen anyone live with such a small amount of blood.

He recovered four times faster than expected and in 1996; within a year of leaving hospital ran the London Marathon, raised significant sums to help disabled people in the developing world and successfully completed a full time Master’s Degree in human behaviour.

Chris taught himself to run and is thought to be the world’s first amputee ultra-distance runner after completing the Marathon De Sables in 1997. He’s run the world’s toughest ultra-marathons including the Badwater Death Valley 135 mile ultra. He’s led numerous teams to complete rigourous challenges ranging from climbing mountains to cycling the length of Cambodia.

Chris Moon has a passion for the process of achievement and uses his unique experiences to help people do what they do better. He speaks with enthusiasm and humour on resilience, change, personal and strategic leadership and all aspects of behavioural choices. His interactive presentations and workshops are tailored to desired outcomes and actions.

Motivation
Chris Moon has a fascination and a passion with the process of achievement, because as he puts it 'I need to understand it more than most. I'm one of the most fortunate people to be alive, so I want to make the very best of life.

We don't need an extreme experience to be positive and achieve more, we just need to have an open mind and develop our self belief. I believe everyone has the capacity to go one step beyond their perceived limits and often the biggest limits in life are the ones we impose on ourselves.'

Chris relates his experience of being abducted and taken prisoner and says the most important thing he learnt is 'never assume the role of victim'. Key points in his presentations include how to face difficult issues, dealing with worry and negativity, being positive and making the best of everything.
