Choose life!

Chris Moon is a motivational speaker. He talks about his own experience of facing challenging situations, that many people would have struggled to cope with. This includes being blown up whilst supervising mine-clearance in Mozambique, barely surviving and ending up minus an arm and a leg. He became the world’s first amputee ultra-distance runner; he’s experienced being in dark places and finding a way out of them. A key principle that Chris speaks about is that we should all challenge the concept of limitations we face through life. In this episode, we discuss: his background in farming and the army, which helped shape his approach to resilience, the importance of connecting with others and avoiding isolation, how humour provides such a vital role as a coping mechanism, the benefits of making people feel valued and listened to through our communication. Listen in to hear Chris’s thoughts on communication, cows and coffee! Links from the show: www.chrismoon.co.uk
