Carl Peach

Public Speaker

If you’re looking for a public speaker to inspire your audience with real-life stories, move them emotionally, and create ‘pin drop’ moments, I’m your man.

At 59 Years Old I Lost My Eyesight

Following a routine eye-test, my doctors discovered that I have a hereditary and incurable defect in my optic nerve. As a result, I now live with a permanent visual blizzard and have difficulty navigating the world and performing the simplest of tasks. I’ve faced many challenges throughout my life; blindness is proving to be one of the hardest. I’ve chosen to embrace this latest challenge and keep striding forward regardless.

Public Speaking

The topics I speak about are all related to personal challenges I’ve faced and how I deal with them. They include:

This is my latest challenge, and I’m still learning. My attitude towards it remains positive, upbeat and determined.

For most of my life I was addicted to gambling. In 2017 I made a conscious choice to change my life and I haven’t gambled since.

From poor health and mobility to half-marathon runner and weight training enthusiast, moving forward one step at a time.

Here’s What People Are Saying

“Carl, I earnestly hope you keep doing more n more and never miss an opportunity to gift your work to as many people in as many places as you possibly can.
Your work is slick. You display such high a level of prowess and you made me feel I’d like to up my game to match what you presented. I hope to be so clipped.
I doff my bucket hat to you with respect in gratitude.”

Craig Cassie

“An amazing, inspirational gentleman with a very interesting story to tell. A superb example to
everyone to not take things for granted, particularly our sight. He spoke very humbly about
his journey of losing his sight.”

“A truly inspirational, moving and uplifting talk. I was fascinated by your journey, your strength
(both physical and emotional) and your perseverance in adversity. A true lesson to us all. Thank you so much!”

“I’ve rarely seen such a single-minded and stubborn pursuit of insanely challenging goals. Carl is an absolute beast!”

Harri Broom

“Carl’s ability to keep an unwaveringly positive attitude to life, whilst dealing with and overcoming incredibly difficult circumstances, is inspirational. His ‘performance’ at the recent spoken-word evening at the Cordwainer, was spell-binding.”

Martin Holmes

“Carl is an excellent writer who can craft a tale that will keep an audience mesmerised. His
true story about his gambling addiction is not to be missed. It was profoundly moving, and
his vivid descriptions drew us into the incredible scenarios he found himself in and his
journey to recovery. Carl’s talent for writing is matched by his incredible bravery, positivity
and determination in the face of recent significant eyesight challenges.”
