Hein Wagner

”He has been blind since birth… Despite this Hein Wagner has many accomplishments to his name.
He has completed the Absa Cape Epic, ran the Antarctica Marathon, the Two Oceans and New York
Marathons, completed full Ironman, completed the Cape to Rio Yacht Race, holds the World Blind
Land Speed Record at 322.52 km/h, and received a golden key from the university of Stellenbosch
for his ongoing efforts towards social upliftment.
Hein Wagner is living proof that despite the challenges that come our way, anything is possible. He
does not allow his blindness to stand in the way of his dreams and people often refer to him as the
blind man with exceptional vision.”
I’ve been working as a full-time international keynote motivational speaker the world over for the
last 18 years and my audiences vary from small executive leadership groups of 10 – 40 people all
the way up to 15 000 people at global kick-off events for top international brands. My success as a
speaker comes down to my authenticity and my story telling approach based on my own
experiences. My purpose in life is to inspire people to turn huge obstacles in to major opportunities
as that is exactly what I did with my blindness.
