Dr Gill Hicks Travels from Adelaide, SA

Despite enduring permanent injury, losing both legs in the 2005 London terrorist bombings, she vowed to Do More than Survive and devote her efforts into communicating the wonder and awe of the Human spirit, finding opportunity within adversity and flexibility within Change, creating a posture of Mind that exceeds ideas of Resilience.

Awarded and recognised with doctorates from London Metropolitan, Kingston and the University of South Australia, an MBE and AM, Gill brings her experience from a respected and expansive UK career within Design and the Arts to champion critical thinking, particularly within the areas of violent extremism.

Combining lived experience and design thinking, her unique methodology for navigating and enveloping change is at the core of each presentation.

Exploring the fragility of our existence and highlighting our strength and ability to live and grow within uncertainty is where Gill cuts through and encourages a new way of thinking, of being and flourishing.

‘spell-bound’ and ‘life changing’ are common responses from audiences of 10,000 to small teams, her carefully crafted messaging leaves a lasting impression.
