ABOUT
Crystal
Flaman
Social Entrepreneur, International Speaker and ultra-distance Athlete
Social Entrepreneur, international keynote speaker and athlete, Crystal Flaman’s personal mission in life is to make a difference in the world and inspire others to do the same. She’s raised over 1.4 million dollars for various charities including the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the Canadian Diabetes Association, and Room To Read through her work and athletic endeavours.
Crystal has spoken for TEDx, the YPO and has received the Peter Legge Philanthropist of the Year Award by her peers in the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, an organization she has belonged to for 20 years. She is also the creator of the 10 Million Acts Of Kindness Movement. Crystal Flaman is the founder of Inspiring Success Services Inc. and DIVA Retreats.
Crystal is an 14 x Ironman finisher, a two-time 273km ultra-marathon finisher, and has cycled across Canada on the first tandem bike to cross the country with her twin sister. She has completed the second hardest footrace in the world – a 273km multi-day, self-supported, running race through the Utah desert, scaling mountains, carrying all of her food, clothing and supplies that she would need throughout the race. Through this one adventure, Crystal raised almost $20,000 to help children be able to attend school with Room To Read. She has done this race twice!
Crystal’s ultimate purpose in life is to help people reach their potential. She strives to lead by example and inspire others to discover their own unique gifts and talents and share them with the world. She believes that as we move from success towards significance in our own lives, listening to our intuition, we may experience true joy, happiness, and fulfilment. She also believes that health is of utmost importance. It’s time to put our health first in life, so that we may be able to live that long, healthy, and happy life we dream of and hope for.

Personal Passions and Interests
When Crystal isn't consulting with clients and organizations, she can usually be found training for another Ironman race or ultra-running race, reading, delving into her passion for health, travelling the world or covered in dirt in the garden.
Crystal is grateful to walk alongside her husband, Ian, in this adventure called life and spend time with their family, grandchildren, friends, loved ones and two giant 15 year old Maine Coon cats.
In quieter moments, Crystal can be found writing on the front porch of Ian and Crystal's 110 year old heritage home. She is currently writing a book about her experience with Lyme Disease and how she stumbled on a cure. Or, she and Ian will be in the kitchen - cooking, baking and creating a delicious mess! :)
