Stacey can motivate and engage a wide audience and inspire them to reflect on their approach to life and seize the moment, acknowledge their strengths and be their best whatever their circumstances.

David Furniss, DFEEST
Stacey is a truly inspirational speaker. She engaged amazingly with our staff, as she drew on not only her own experiences, but included the challenges unique to our business. It was great to watch a sea of nodding heads, as staff identified with issues and made mental notes of the practical tools Stacey provided to help us build our resilience. I would highly recommend Stacey to inspire other work teams.
Christine Flynn, Spring Gully Foods
Stacey was the guest speaker at the 2013 Athletics SA Presentation Dinner held at Crowne Plaza Adelaide. Stacey was fairly new to South Australian athletics at that stage and few people were actually aware of Stacey’s story. The 130 individuals in the room that night listened intently to an uplifting story of an inspiring individual who has turned a tragic accident in to a positive and motivating message. Stacey is an excellent and engaging speaker who will inspire any audience with her positive message of resilience.
Adam
Bishop, Athletics South Australia

friends and life. She is a blessing to the people she knows and empowers.

best.”

Stacey Copas's Biography
Stacey Copas has not let a devastating accident that left her a quadriplegic and dependent on a wheelchair at 12 years old slow her down. Instead she picked up the pace and has used her life experience and personal philosophies to become Australia’s leading keynote speaker and facilitator on resilience and turning adversity into an asset, delivering keynote speeches, training, consulting and coaching to organisations such as Telstra, South East Water and CSIRO.
Her first book “How To Be Resilient”, which has been endorsed by Brian Tracy, Layne Beachley and Jack Delosa, was published in 2015 and has been featured by Financial Review, ABC radio and The Australian.
More recently Stacey has added athletics to her repertoire after 22 years of inactivity to further stretch her comfort zones, becoming the first women in her classification to compete in Australia, and is training to qualify for the Paralympic Games.
Stacey is an Ambassador for the Layne Beachley Foundation Aim For The Stars and donates 5% of her speaker fees and from the sale of each book to support the foundation.
In her spare time you are likely to find Stacey in the nearest patch of sunshine with a book recharging her solar powers.
