This speaker series will include a variety of topics to motivate and inspire you to achieve your best self. You will engage with speakers who bring a wide perspective in sharing their stories, life experiences, and expertise to achieve a more positive mindset. Topics are inspirational and educational, balancing practical life tasks, to pursuing creative arts and encourage you to move towards your personal and professional goals, and a feeling of greater self-empowerment.
We are excited to welcome back our next guest speaker, encourage you to move towards your personal and professional goals, and a feeling of greater self-empowerment.
We are excited to welcome our next guest speaker, Lonnie Bedwell.... Blind Military Veteran. Extreme Adventure Athlete. Motivational Speaker. Author.  Lonnie's mission is to motivate and inspire others to embrace life with confidence & courage. Lonnie is dedicated to helping veterans and many others enjoy full lives and while he is an advocate for the blind, blindness does not define either him or his efforts on behalf of others. Lonnie has appeared on The Today Show and Steve Harvey and has been featured in countless publications. He's the author of the award-winning book 226 (the length in miles of the Colorado River stretch through the Grand Canyon) and shares his passion for life and adventure with audiences around the country. Lonnie has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, summited Mt. Everest, and several of North America's highest mountains, rock climbs, and is an avid downhill skier when he has time away from roofing work in his hometown of Duggar, IN.
