OVERCOMING ADVERSITY…THE POSITIVE WAY.
Left profoundly deaf and without speech through a childhood illness, Carl’s world was turned upside down.
Faced with constant obstacles in his way due to his disability, Carl’s achievements are made the more remarkable through the acceptance of his disability and his sheer determination, resilience and perseverance to succeed. Never giving up on his hopes and dreams, paved the way for a multitude of successes.
From a child actor to a world pool champion and onto conquering the North Pole – the first deaf person to do so, Carl deems absolutely nothing beyond his reach.
Deafness – invisible and the most complex of disabilities, trapped Carl in a world of silence. Deprived of the opportunity of learning speech through sound, Carl overcame this barrier through placing his hand on his parent’s throats to feel the vibrations.
Focusing on relatable aspects of his experience, Carl’s speeches never fail to inspire, striking at the core system of belief – that we can..!

Why you should book Carl Morris to speak?
INSPIRE YOUR AUDIENCE…
Unique in its opening style, Carl gives the audience a brief, but powerful experiential insight into what it’s like to be deaf. Designed to connect emotionally, a journey is undertaken in order to create perspective and from that, realise the full power of our inner strengths and capabilities.
At one stage, it looked an impossible dream…
Life took a devastating turn at the age of three when meningitis left Carl in a coma, profoundly deaf and robbed of the ability to speak. What hope did he ever have of an ordinary life..?
Perseverance, determination and resilience…
Constantly knocked back by society and denied the opportunity to grow, Carl had to find ways to overcome the obstacles that stood in his way. Along with the support of the National Deaf Children’s Society and the backing of his parents, Carl’s confidence grew.
Whilst never giving up hope, Carl’s growing determination to succeed enabled him to overcome his invisible disability to achieve numerous accomplishments including becoming the first deaf person to trek to the North Pole, a World Pool Champion, an actor and an inspirational speaker.
THE POWER OF AN ‘INSIGNIFICANT’ MOMENT…
Using personal anecdotes and quotes, Carl shows how seemingly insignificant moments in life have the power to change the course of a person’s life – or a company’s direction. Carl’s speech is designed to ensure the audience leaves with a more positive mindset than when they entered.
What would Carl speak about..?
Deafness is a complicated disability that brings with it unseen barriers. Disabilities often not the biggest issue – it is the mind that comprehends the issue and determines how it is dealt with, something we all do in everyday life regardless of the size or type of problem.
A renewed belief that we can all overcome issues, accept the value of ourselves – both to ourselves and to others, to ensure that we continue heading in an upwards trajectory.
So whether you want your pupils to be inspired through perserverence and hard work – or your employees to realise their value to the company – that regardless the size of the cog, it plays an invaluable role.
When Carl speaks, others do what he cannot do – listen.
