SUMMARY:Utah Business Travel Association Monthly Meeting - GTP Credit Approved
DESCRIPTION:35.00 non members\n11-1pm\nLocation: Crystal Inn Downtown SLC \nChad Hymas\nMotivational speaker \nChad inspires\, motivates\, and moves audiences\, creating an experience that touches hearts for a lifetime. He is one of the youngest ever to receive the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) and to be inducted into the prestigious National Speaker Hall of Fame. \nIn 2001\, at the age of 27\, Chad’s life changed in an instant when a 2\,000-pound bale of hay shattered his neck\, leaving him a quadriplegic. But Chad’s dreams were not paralyzed that day—he became an example of what is possible. \nChad is a best selling author\, president of his own communications company\, and recognized world-class wheelchair athlete. In 2003\, Chad set the world record by wheeling his chair from Slat Lake City to Las Vegas (513 miles). \nChad’s speaking career in the areas of leadership\, team building\, customer service\, and mastering change had brought him multiple honors. He served as president of the National Speakers Utah Chapter and is a member of the elite Speakers Round-table (one of twenty of the world’s top speakers). \n \nLeaving a Legacy Topics \nWho Needs Legs When You Have Wings?\nMotivating presentations must be accompanied by solutions that change and inspire lives. Today more than ever\, people are looking not simply for entertainment\, but for direction and solid answers. Chad Hymas has spent the last seventeen years developing solutions that transformed his life. His stories are moving\, his courage unprecedented\, and his insights profound. His accomplishments provide a powerful litmus test to the validity of these dynamic principles! \n· Conquer the emotional paralysis that robs vision and momentum \n· Turn obstacles into incredible opportunities \n· Harness the power of change and rise above to progress \n· Tap into unseen personal power and inner strength to accomplish seemingly impossible dreams
