SPEECH TOPICS
Possible Thinking
Alternate Title: Achieve The Impossible
What limits people in your group from attaining their highest potential? How can they push limitations aside? Jessica believes that by combining creativity, persistence, and fearlessness, nothing is impossible. In her presentation, she digs deep into her experiences living armless in a two-handed world. She shows how these three qualities helped her achieve the seemingly impossible. Jessica’s elements stem from answering such questions as:
· Are you letting your fears stand in the way of your opportunities?
· Is it easier to come up with an excuse than a creative solution to a challenge?
· What handicaps are you-and others-creating that you don’t need?
· How soon should you give up when confronted with a difficult challenge
Achieve the Impossible is a keynote that was born out of Jessica’s own adversities. As such, it’s an ideal vehicle for corporations needing to address various polarizing circumstances and achieve whatever now ‘seems’ impossible. The keynote is fun, lively, entertaining, thought-provoking and deliberately challenges your audience. Entertaining stories of trial and success lead the audience to their own thinking and conclusions. Jessica serves as an inspirational force, allowing them to believe that they can achieve the impossible.
