Don Armstrong Biography
Don Armstrong’s primary motivation to write and speak evolved from his life-changing battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a blood cancer. Since his healing and recovery, Don has found purpose in teaching individuals, corporations, and organizations to finish their race in all areas of life, both personally and professionally, with courage, confidence, and grace.

He will teach them how to keep a positive mindset while overcoming obstacles and improve communication by dealing with negativity.
No one is safe from adversity, but whether it’s a cancer diagnosis or a non-life-threatening event, Don furnishes sound strategies on how to set your organization up to successfully overcome it. Occasionally, we all need a reminder on how to see beyond our obstacles…
