Background

About Elizabeth Wright

Over the years I’ve worn many hats—elite athlete, award-winning journalist, artist, international speaker and emcee—and in each of these worlds, one thread runs through: the power of resilience, reinvention, and creativity. As a Paralympic medalist for Australia, I know what it takes to rise under pressure. As a sports journalist with the ABC, I tell the stories that move us and create change. As a keynote speaker trusted by global brands like Reckitt and EA Games, I bring audiences into the heart of high performance, vulnerability, and what it means to grow through challenge, not around it. Signature Topics: • The Power of Letting Go: Redefining Success and Resilience • Winning Beyond the Finish Line: What Elite Sport Teaches Us About Performance • Building Inclusive Cultures: Practical Steps for Effective Allyship. I blend storytelling, strategy, and heart to help organisations and schools unlock courage, clarity, and connection. I can support you whether you’re navigating change, building inclusive culture, or developing the next generation of leaders. I also hold first-class honours in Fine Art and a Master’s in Philosophy (Fine Art), and my work as a creative informs how I approach leadership, team dynamics, and innovation. Clients include: Reckitt, Metro Trains, NDS, HCF, Twitter, EA Games, Kerry Foods, educational institutions & sports bodies across Australia, the UK, and Europe.
