Fiona Demark

Fiona Demark is an adventure seeking, boundary leaping, no regrets kind of girl, who uses her 30-ish years of experience in human communication, care and kindness to help others. Fiona is all about stepping outside the square and challenging herself, as well as the people around her, to think differently.

Fiona enjoys sharing her story of how she has achieved life’s successes so far. It hasn’t always been an easy journey, and at times, her disability has negatively impacted upon some of the opportunities presented to her.

Despite being legally blind, Fiona never says “No.” to a challenge or opportunity, never letting her disability prevent her from achieving the things she sets her mind to.

As a qualified social worker, resilience coach and keynote speaker, Fiona has a fantastic toolbox of resources that she loves to share with others to help guide them through challenges and adversity.

Fiona will share her own story of resilience and overcoming adversity. You will leave the presentation feeling empowered, inspired and more aware of what tools and resources you already have to overcome the obstacles life may present. Expect some humour, moments of truth, emotional epiphanies and self-reflection.
