BIOGRAPHY
World Cup winner Kyran made his debut for England against the All Blacks in 1993 sustaining a nasty ankle injury following a stamp from Jamie Joseph. The severity of the injury side-lined Kyran for three months. However, he showed his determination and ability to triumph in the face of adversity by fighting his way back to full fitness and back into the England team.
In 2007 Kyran swapped in boots for skates on the hugely popular ITV show, Dancing on Ice. Winning the show was a new beginning for Kyran as he went on to engage his entrepreneurial skills into setting up and running a successful touring skating show, Kyran’s Ice Party. This experience means that Kyran is an ideal choice to speak on managing change, retraining and goal setting.
