Who Needs Legs, When You Have Wings?

Chad Hymas

General Session 11:30 – 3:00 p.m.
Deep Dive Session 3:30 – 5:00 p.m.

If there is one thing that is constant in our personal and professional lives, it is CHANGE! In an era of unprecedented change and constant challenges, Chad Hymas shares his compelling message that achieving the unachievable, reaching the unreachable, and soaring higher than you ever thought possible.

On April 3, 2001, Chad’s life changed instantaneously when a falling one-ton bale of hay broke his neck leaving him a quadriplegic. Doctors and others said that he would never walk again and that for the rest of his life he would be confined to an electric wheelchair.

Chad’s dreams were NOT paralyzed that day, as he will tell you! He is the President of his own communications company. Chad is a world-class wheelchair athlete playing basketball, full contact quad rugby, and he races marathons. In July of 2003, Chad set a new world record by wheeling a personal marathon of over 500 miles from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas.

His message is inspiring! His experiences are amazing! So get ready to SOAR as Chad will tell you “Who Needs Legs, When You Have Wings?”!!!

Join NSA Colorado members for lunch and an engaging session, which includes the Working Matters panel So You Think You Can Speak . . . What Do You Really Need To Be A Professional Speaker? You walk into an NSA meeting and get inundated with advice.  You have to have a book, an assistant, an agent, a hat, a funny walk, a signature story.  In this session, we’ll challenge our assumptions and find out, from those who have done it, what it really takes to be a successful speaker.  In this panel discussion our remarkable speakers will talk about what you really need and what you don’t. We’ll debunk the myths and reinforce the truths.

Register Now for February 10, 2012

At the meeting, we’ll also have a trade show for our 2011-12 sponsors.  Come learn how their products and services can help you grow your speaking business!
