After The Impact
The full story: the injury, the identity loss nobody warned me about, and the unexpected road back to myself. Raw, real and ultimately uplifting.
Best for: conferences, community events, book launches
Keynote speaker
A story your audience won't forget.
Kris Picker was told that if she recovered from her traumatic brain injury, she'd be severely brain injured. Her talks are honest, hopeful and practical, about what it really takes to rebuild yourself when life changes in a moment.

The Invisible Injury

Best for: workplaces, HR & WHS, healthcare and rehab teams
Paddle Out
Resilience isn't bouncing back, it's choosing to begin. I learned to surf more than 18 years after my brain injury. Lessons from the ocean on fear, courage and becoming who you are now.
