BIOGRAPHY

Kathy Buckley was born with a hearing loss that went undetected until she was eight. Those around her believed she had learning difficulties and transferred her to a school or mentally and physically impaired children. She was sexually abused, run over by a jeep and stricken with cancer - all before the age of thirty.

But rather than be consumed by grief, Kathy sought out laughter. She not only survived, she has gone on to become a successful comedienne and an award winning author. She is also a world-renowned motivational speaker.

Kathy shows that we create our own negativity. With very funny anecdotes, she explains how our choice of vocabulary makes a real difference, how to choose the positive and how we all grow in confidence once we recognise the importance of our own individual contribution.

Based in California but with a message that resonates with the most cynical British audiences, Kathy's indomitable courage in confronting life's challenges inspires anyone and everyone.
