Motivational Speaker Cardiff - Pervez Hussain

Blind Motivational Speaker Cardiff

My name is Pervez. I am a blind Motivational Speaker Cardiff, author and DJ operating in the UK. I was brought up in inner City Birmingham. Since losing my sight at a young age I have been faced with adversity for most of my life. Despite this, I didn’t let my lack of sight interfere with my vision of advancing within the West Mercia Police service.

Over the years I have been devoted to mentoring people with disabilities and delivering Management Leadership Training along with diversity training by day and by night I am the UK’s first blind DJ to play entirely by memory. My life has been a great adventure with many obstacles along the way. I now use my experience to help others via motivational speaking engagements.

Motivational speaker

A motivational speaker is a person who makes speeches to motivate or inspire an audience. Motivational speaker Cardiff can deliver presentations and speeches on any topic. A motivational speaker is someone with an amazing life story, but it isn’t just my story itself that will motivate the audience, it is the way I tell it and the passion behind it that makes my speeches all the more inspiring.

Pervez Hussain, my Blind Motivational Speaker Cardiff story

I experienced eyesight problems from an early age and despite numerous operations I completely lost my sight at the age of 23. This could have been a huge stumbling block in my advancement as I was considered to be un-academic.
I could not read Braille and I therefore started to use my memory to assist with work and everyday tasks, committing to memory large chunks of information.

I was the first Motivational Speaker in Cardiff in the country to deliver diversity training to staff members wholly using my memory. I was also the first blind Motivational Speaker Cardiff in the UK to deliver management and leadership training by memory to front-line supervisors.

After moving on from delivering diversity training in my existing work environment I then went on to set up my own company delivering this training to outside organisations and agencies. My audience was no longer limited to the number of staff members employed by West Mercia Police. Daunting – not daunted!

I also undertook management leadership training – helping others to help themselves in progressing in their area of work. A pleasing extension to my skills – what can be better than helping others realise their own potential.

For a much more detailed account of my life and the obstacles I have overcome, check out my new autobiography “Chasing the Bean”.

Overcoming adversity

After 23 years of working within the West Mercia Police, my own advancement suddenly stalled. Having never had sick leave I was now faced with the prospect of being seriously ill with kidney failure. At the beginning of 2012 despite struggling to continue with work and other commitments I knew something was wrong and finally sought medical help.

The shocking discovery was that I was suffering from polycystic kidney disease. The other side of that coin turned out to be winning a Quality People Award for outstanding contribution to West Mercia Police. A very proud moment indeed.

Reach for the stars

I believe you too can achieve your full potential – you just need positive mental attitude and never give up at the first hurdle – that’s one thing I learned early on! Life lessons are that you will make mistakes – you just need to move on and learn from them. Don’t dwell on them – look to the future. No one is going to make opportunities for you – you have to make them yourself.

Disabled Motivational Speaker
