The two-time gold medallist archer will talk to GCMA members about her journey, the barriers she had to overcome, and how she did it Don’t miss our webinar with Danielle Brown MBE, the two-time Paralympic gold medallist archer. Danielle’s story is all about breaking barriers. After becoming disabled as a teenager, Danielle realised that even in adversity we have a choice. Choose to let the things outside your control defeat you, or choose to control your response to it. Taking up archery on her 15th birthday, Danielle made the Great Britain team three years later, jumping straight in as World No.1. She hung onto that position for her entire career. Danielle is a five-time World champion and two-time Paralympic gold medallist, winning gold in Beijing 2008 and retaining her title on home soil in London 2012. She also became the first disabled person to represent England as an able-bodied competitor at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where she won gold. She was in the top 10 ranked able-bodied archers in the world and No.1 in the UK. Danielle has a lot of experience talking to both large and small audiences, challenging the way you think and demonstrating how to harness the powers of vision and self-belief to achieve excellence. Weaving relevant examples from her sporting career brings this toolkit to life – it's not just a theory learned from a book, but has been lived and delivered big impact results. She specialises in speaking about diversity and inclusion, performance, and health and wellbeing. Webinar date: Wednesday, March 24th, 2pm-3pm. 40-minute presentation, followed by a 20-minute Q&A.
