Connor taught us in his keynote presentation that grit and determination to reach for and achieve your goal is so very worth it. Our conference was in Colorado Springs and the additional experience with him in tow at the US Olympic & Paralympic Museum was icing on the cake and then some. Hire this guy people. He is so worth it. Very motivational. Congratulations Connor for forging onward and not stopping at the “Now what?”.

We invited Connor to be our keynote speaker for our regional leadership retreat. As part of a large healthcare system, our audience consisted of 300 healthcare leaders. We selected Connor not only for his impressive accomplishments as an Olympic athlete but also for his inspiring patient story. Connor’s keynote was a tremendous success, leaving our leadership teams to ponder questions, ‘What do you do after you succeed?’, ‘What do you do after you fail?’, and ‘What do you do after everything falls apart?’. What truly elevated his keynote from good to great was the time Connor invested in tailoring his presentation to our unique needs. He also joined us for dinner the night before, where he socialized with our team. This amplified his keynote and fostered a personal connection with the audience, making the entire experience much more personal.
