Audience reviews:
I cannot explain enough how much Nicolas and the story he shared inspired, moved and touched everyone in the room. It was a privilege to listen to it live and share those moments with him. I received so much warm feedback from many people who were excited to meet him in person and needed to hear his story to help them see how unique they are. What he shared during his keynote about questioning his belonging, finding himself, embracing his authenticity, and seeing himself as unique, resonated deeply with all of us. - Siteimprove

Born with Cerebral Palsy, which affects the movement of his leg muscles, Nicolas was initially a wheelchair user. He endured years of gruelling, painful training so that by the age of 17 he could walk completely unaided. A huge achievement in itself, but this was just the first part of his unwavering determination to become a professional racing driver.
Nicolas was told as a child that he would never walk due to his cerebral palsy and would spend his life reliant on a wheelchair. Not one to be told he cannot do things, with determination and gruelling training, he not only walked unaided, but he started to realise his dream: to be a racing driver.
In a notoriously competitive and tough sport, Nicolas has established himself as a potential future champion, an achievement in any context, but even more so for someone who was told as a child that he would never walk. As well as racing, Nicolas is focused on sharing his inspirational story and his belief that your ambition is limited only by your attitude.
