SPEAKING
Humble, engaging, with boundless enthusiasm, Hari is thoughtful and articulate and an inspirational orator, relaying the lessons he has learnt and continues to learn throughout his fascinating life.
His journey from Gurkha, to injured veteran, to record breaking mountaineer offers a motivational story with longevity and international reach.
INSPIRATION
Hari seizes the opportunity to blaze new trails for people with disabilities and break down boundaries. He has set numerous records for people with disabilities on mountains all over the world; has kayaked around the Isle of Wight; completed multiple skydives; paraglided; bungee jumped; and competed internationally as a para-skier and golfer.
Through his endeavours, Hari’s continual aim is to inspire and positively change perceptions with regards to disability globally. Hari believes having a disability doesn’t have to be life limiting, it is all about adaptation.
Hari has given motivational speeches for organisations around the UK, Europe, USA and Asia on Resilience, Teamwork, Adaptation, Mindset, Overcoming Adversity, Innovation, Disability and Inclusivity.
As an extraordinary pioneer, pushing both physical, psychological and perceptual boundaries of human ability, his story resonates with global audiences (12-15% of the world’s population have some kind of disability).
NO LEGS NO LIMITS TOUR
Hari shared his inspiring journey on a 18 day tour across the UK. He relayed stories about his early years in Nepal growing up in civil war, and his life as a Gurkha in the British army before losing his legs in 2010. His honest tales around battling depression and discrimination, highlighted the mental battle he faced and how changing his mindset enable him to stand atop the world’s highest peak in May 2023.
As an extraordinary pioneer, pushing both physical, psychological and perceptual boundaries of human ability and spirit, Hari’s story is one of resilience, innovation and adaptation. He demonstrates the mental agility required to remove limits and shows how mindset is everything in conquering dreams.
"Hari Budha Magar is a powerful force of nature. His story is a testament to the power of positive thinking and his actions demonstrate his convictions of his own beliefs, that 'Anything is Possible'. Having had the privilege of working with Hari on his UK theatre tour, we’ve seen, first-hand, a fraction of his determination – touring is exhausting, even for some of the toughest people on the planet, people who’ve endured some of the harshest environments on Earth, and Hari took it in his stride and applied his energy to delivering his emotional rollercoaster of a story to audiences across the country, night after night, and he did it with his infectious smile intact throughout.
"Hari is a genuine pleasure to work with; inspiring, positive and committed." Dion Clements, Speakers from the Edge
