Darren Harris works with organisations that want to tackle challenges so they unleash rather than limit potential.
Darren Harris is a mindset speaker, coach and trainer who helps leaders and teams build the confidence and skills to turn adversity into advantage. Using his powerful Unblind Your Mind methodology, he shows audiences how to unlock their potential by shifting their perspective on challenge and change.
Diagnosed with cancer of the eyes at just one year old, Darren grew up in Wolverhampton – a city whose motto, “Out of darkness cometh light”, mirrors his personal journey. Losing his sight was a devastating blow, and he faced years of emotional and psychological struggle. But meeting a real-life ‘Daredevil’ at school sparked a life-changing belief: that with the right mindset, almost anything is possible.
Darren’s mission is to inspire others to overcome adversity and achieve their highest potential. His vision? A world where obstacles are seen not as barriers, but as opportunities for growth – personally and professionally.
He lives by values that have powered his journey:
Inspiration – the pure oxygen that breathes life into dreams.
Courage – the heat that pushes you beyond limitations.
Determination – the steady fuel that keeps the inner fire burning.
With a first-class degree in Mathematics, a Master’s in Psychology, and an Honorary Doctorate for Outstanding Public Service, Darren combines intellect and empathy in equal measure. His unique insights into the human mind, drawn from both science and personal experience, help audiences reframe their challenges and build resilience.
On the sports field, Darren has represented Great Britain in two Paralympic sports – judo and football – and is England’s most capped and decorated blind footballer, with 157 appearances and 10 World and European medals. His athletic journey taught him invaluable life lessons about loss, failure and rejection – lessons he now shares to empower others.
He is also the co-author of the Amazon #1 bestseller Transforming Your Life, further amplifying his message of perseverance, mindset, and hope.
Darren’s story is more than inspirational – it’s a practical blueprint for turning setbacks into comebacks. Whether he’s speaking to corporate leaders, educators or students, he leaves audiences feeling energised, empowered, and ready to take action.
Darren covers many psychological principles that can help you overcome adversity in your personal or professional life. Here are just a few:
