Greg Moran

Greg Moran is a highly regarded corporate and motivational speaker who clearly and passionately demonstrates that having a major disability does not preclude you from living a happy, productive and fulfilling life.

Greg broke his neck playing rugby in 1983 at the age of 15, becoming a C3/4 quadriplegic with little movement or sensation below his shoulders. He spent five months in hospital before moving to a rehabilitation facility where he lived for three years and learned skills to help him adjust to life as a quadriplegic. He knew that he had to adjust to his new circumstances and become as independent as he could.

Everything Greg has achieved since, and his achievements have been considerable, has been with great persistence, positivity and confidence.

Greg’s devastating injury started him on a path of self-discovery and personal development that continues to this day. Greg shares his journey with great humour and humility, never failing to make a life-changing impact on his audience.
