It seems as if there are so many reports that stress, burnout, and isolation have become the hidden adversaries of progress; how do we cut through the noise and transform adversity into our greatest advantage? This question lies at the heart of an epidemic plaguing leaders and teams in today’s high-stakes business environment. Despite efforts to bridge the gap, a profound perception divide persists, underscoring a critical disconnect between executive actions and employee realities.

Enter Amputate to Amplify: Transform Adversity into Advantage, a keynote designed to address this chasm and provide a potent solution. Come on a journey with award-winning keynote speaker John Register, CSP, who embodies resilience, transformation, and triumph. This presentation is a masterclass redefining the narrative of mental preparation and fortitude in the face of burnout, exhaustion, and extreme overwhelm.

Through a compelling three-stage process—The Reckoning, the Revision, and the Renewal—John lays out a roadmap for embracing adversity as a catalyst for acknowledging our prior state, honoring our present situation, and committing to growth through innovation and adaptation. His approach dismantles the barriers of fear and resistance, urging leaders and employees alike to adopt a “new normal mindset” that views change not as a threat but as an invaluable opportunity.

This is more than just a keynote; it’s a call for a performance shift in confronting and navigating adversity. John Register invites you to a journey of transformation where today’s trials are tomorrow’s triumphs.

Join keynote speaker John Register as he shares valuable insights on the Champions Mindset and how it can be applied to business sales success. As a former Olympic trials candidate, four-time track and field all-American and Paralympic athlete, and silver medalist, John has firsthand experience in achieving success under pressure and overcoming obstacles.

In this session, he will draw on lessons from his athletic career to teach attendees how to adopt a champion’s mindset and achieve greater success in their business sales efforts. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a true champion and take your sales game to the next level!”

There is a group of individuals who are always overlooked regarding the diversity, equity, and inclusion conversation. The group I refer to is the disability population. From increased productivity and employee retention to reduced absenteeism and training costs, there are countless reasons why hiring individuals with disabilities is not only the right thing to do but it also makes good business sense.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals with disabilities have an unemployment rate nearly double that of those without disabilities. Additionally, the unemployment rate for individuals with disabilities has remained stubbornly high, even during periods of economic growth. This is great news for the labor market because an underutilized talent pool is ready to work.

Disability employment is the next frontier in the fight for equality for persons with disabilities in the workplace. By creating an inclusive culture, actively recruiting individuals with disabilities, and offering incentives for hiring them, businesses can maximize their profits and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. John’s keynote intersects with a company employee business and affinity resource groups on multiple levels.  His intersections are as a person with a disability, a person of color, and a combat veteran.

What you will learn in this keynote:

• Why businesses need to create an inclusive culture that welcomes and supports individuals with disabilities by providing accommodations, such as assistive technology, and offering training and support for managers and coworkers.
• How businesses should actively recruit individuals with disabilities through partnerships with organizations that serve individuals with disabilities, as well as through targeted recruiting efforts.
• Why businesses should offer incentives for hiring individuals with disabilities? This can include tax credits, grants, and other financial incentives.

This virtual presentation helps people bounce back to life from a misstep. We will walk through the process of what drives our fears, past the false summit of believing we need to rebuild our lives, to the freedom which comes from embracing our new normal by having a resolute mind.

Life can change with one wrong step. While training for an upcoming competition, one misstep over a hurdle cost John his leg. Despite his devastating setback, he hurdled his adversity and began winning again. Within 22 months post-injury, he competed on the United States Paralympic Swim Team in Atlanta, Georgia and anchored both the 4×100 meter medley and freestyle relays.

In this virtual presentation, you will discover steps you can take to stand strong. John shares with you the pathway and the steps to win, again. Whether you are an executive, a middle manager, or front employee, your life can change with one wrong step, but your life can also change with one right step. Go forth and inspire your world.

Is your company struggling right now and trying to come to grips with this new environment? Olympians and Paralympians have a championship mindset that focuses on the end game. How do they manage in times of stress and uncertainty?

We know all athletes will have challenges, but the champions…the ones who stand atop the medal podium are the ones who plan strategically for any ripple of disturbance that may cross their path. If Olympic and Paralympic athletes are training four years from today the way they are training today, they have already lost the gold medal. If your company sales team is trying to compete by playing it safe, then you are in danger of losing your goal as well.

In this virtual presentation, your team will learn how to look for the opportunities in the obstacles faced in business and in life. John will help your team release the spirit of determination, resilience and resolve to win the medals in your personal and professional lives. Your team will extract lessons from the Olympic and Paralympic athlete journey and implement those lessons into your business culture and sales systems to reach the podiums you have set for your company.

John’s virtual learning activities coupled with his power of storytelling releases the champion spirit in your team and position you to be at the top of your industry.
