Biography

About Miles Hilton-Barber

Blind Adventurer Miles Hilton-Barber has spoken at over 1,500 corporate events in 74 countries to date.

Hilton-Barber’s personal “lockdown” experience was going totally blind in his early 20’s. His quality of life, fulfilment and success was radically transformed at the age of 50, not through sight restoration, but through changing his attitude to his blindness. “Quality of life, and our ability to be happy, fulfilled and successful is not dependant on our circumstances, but on our response to them” he says!

Since the age of 50 Miles Hilton-Barber has set numerous world records undertaking extreme events across all seven continents of our world in the fields of mountaineering, desert and polar ultra-marathons, power-boat racing, scuba-diving, motor-racing and long distance, aerobatic and supersonic flying amongst other achievements.

Miles Hilton-Barber outlines a simple yet radical set of Lockdown Life Lessons that will enable companies, individuals and organisations to become more successful today, despite facing unprecedented change, based on his personal philosophy that ‘The only limits in your life are those you accept yourself!’
