Redefine Possible: Lessons for Tackling Mountains in Your Personal and Professional World

Spencer invites audiences to experience the transformation that can occur when we “redefine possible.” With his trademark humor and humility, Spencer spins a spellbinding story of the challenges he faced after losing his legs from the pelvis down at age five and the journey of discovery that ultimately enabled him to summit Mount Kilimanjaro using his hands and wheelchair.

Spencer applies the insights gleaned from a lifetime of overcoming obstacles to help leaders and employees identify their own roadblocks and push past them. His inspiring message and tangible life lessons motivate business audiences to believe they can tackle any goal, whether personal or professional.

Spencer will cover:

  • Key lessons he has learned throughout his life and how they can be applied both personally & professionally
  • The importance of obstacles and how they are an integral part of our growth as individuals and as employees
  • The importance of asking for help and why it is such an important skill for all leaders to practice and demonstrate
  • How we all have the capacity to create value both at home, in our communities, and the workplace
