In today's fast-paced, unpredictable world, leaders and teams often feel overwhelmed by constant change. What if the changes you fear could become your greatest source of strength and innovation?
Chris Norton's journey embodies this transformative power. In 2010, a severe spinal cord injury left Chris with a 3% chance of ever moving below the neck. Defying odds, he walked at his college graduation and wedding, inspiring over 400 million people worldwide.
In this powerful keynote, Chris challenges the notion that change is merely to be endured. Drawing from his remarkable path, he reveals how change can be our greatest teacher and opportunity for growth. Chris shares compelling stories and practical strategies that empower audiences to reframe challenges, foster radical responsibility, and build resilient teams unafraid to ask for help.
His story, featured on major networks and in the award-winning documentary '7 Yards', showcases the impact of embracing change. With his wife Emily, Chris has fostered over 23 children and adopted 5, embodying adaptability and positive change.
Audiences will learn to grow Stronger Through Change by transforming perceived threats into competitive advantages. Join Chris to discover how life's biggest disruptions can become your greatest opportunities, leaving inspired and equipped to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
This has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. Chris was an amazing speaker and our staff were inspired. The team has also been wonderful to work with; patient and communicative.
