Everybody likes to talk about the struggles of today's business world, and lots of people like to talk about success, but few people know what it's like to find out just how low you can go, or the depths from which you can climb through sheer determination and the knowledge that there’s always a way. That's why Paralympic wheelchair athlete and motivational speaker Kevin Saunders - a man who teetered on the edge of life and went on to find victory in Olympic stadiums - is so popular with business groups. His keynotes aren't just entertaining and inspiring; they're real.
From the depths of injury and depression, to his fantastic career as a Paralympian, wheelchair athlete, actor, author, and motivational speaker, Kevin has abided by one simple rule: Never Give Up! And while you might not be training for Olympic athletic competitions or trying to land a role in a feature film, your problems are just as real - and just as beatable. Everyone has issues; everybody has fear. But no matter what struggle keeps you up at night, the solution is in how you see it. By encouraging everyone to start and keep a journal he helps them understand the power of small every day improvements. Kevin teaches that by encouraging one another to keep track of these improvements and emphasizing how important it is to value the efforts of all their coworkers, they as a whole contribute enormously to the success of the business or corporation’s goals no matter how lofty or challenging they may be.
Paralympic world champion wheelchair athlete Kevin Saunders says: "Pain builds courage! You can't be strong, brave and a winner if only good things happen to you. You have to go through the tough times and obstacles to find out what you’re really capable of."
It’s important to set goals, make a plan, and strategize on how to reach them. To illustrate this Kevin shares his personal story of tragedy to triumph as a wheelchair athlete and how he became the first person with a disability or Paralympian to be appointed to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports. Kevin was appointed by President George Bush and was the only person reappointed to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports by President Bill Clinton. Kevin will teach your team the lessons of success he leaned from working with Presidents and alongside Chairman and now Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Kevin Saunders also shares insights in what he learned while working with Head Coach Bill Snyder and the foundations that were used to create what was later referred as “the greatest turnaround in college football history and maybe all of sports.” Kevin believes nothing translates better to real life and the business or corporate world than sports because you’re given nothing for free and you have to struggle and fight to earn everything you achieve.
Through his highly-acclaimed keynote motivational presentations, Kevin shows audiences how they can come out on top by attacking their challenges head on and then refusing to give in when faced with adversity.
