Jon Le Galloudec: Corporate & Conference Speaker
Book Jon Le Galloudec, injured British Army veteran, as a corporate keynote or conference speaker. Talks on resilience, leadership, pressure, mental health and wellbeing at work.
In 2007, while serving with the British Army in Iraq, Jon "Frenchie" Le Galloudec was shot through the spine and left partially paralysed. Doctors said he was unlikely to walk again. He went on to compete at the Invictus Games 2014, play for GB Para Ice Hockey in 2015 and the Cardiff Huskies in 2016, climb Kilimanjaro in 2009, trek to Everest Base Camp in 2011 and write his memoir, After the Bullet (2025).
For corporate audiences, Jon turns that journey into a talk about resilience, leadership under pressure and looking after your mental health. He speaks without notes, from the heart, with honesty and plenty of humour.
His talks suit conferences, away days, staff wellbeing events, leadership programmes and awards evenings.
