LAW FIRM CONFERENCE PRESENTATION TOPICS

Inclusion and Disability Awareness

The goal of workplace inclusion and disability awareness should not be to hire differently-abled workers to fill a corporate goal, while lowering the bar in terms of what is expected.  It should be to help the differently-abled people achieve and perform at the same standards expected of everyone else.

With Cerebral Palsy, John explains what it has been like to have to hide his disability from the US Navy for an entire career, as well as the tremendous and painful experiences that he had to endure.  As John explains, “Individuals with disabilities are not looking to be judged on different standards – instead, they are looking for an opportunity to succeed.”

Let John speak to your law firm to better learn about how what it is like from the vantage point of someone with a disability.

Life Challenges, Inspiration and Overcoming Bullying

Growing up with cerebral palsy, having to wear “special shoes” for many years for years, and enduring painful therapy taught John not to let any obstacles overcome him.  He did not let bullying and his severe disability limit him in going out for his high school wrestling team, where he achieved a perfect record – losing all 72 matches in which he participated.

In addition to overcoming the ongoing daily painful effects of Cerebral Palsy, John overcame his brother’s suicide and alcoholism.

Let John address your firm on what it takes to successfully move forward and triumph over adversity even when times are hard.
