Ignite your Life! Discovering five keys to unlock passion, potential and impact

Journey with John O’Leary as he powerfully reveals how our greatest challenges can be transformed into the foundation for outstanding growth. Through emotional story-telling and great humor, John empowers you to carefully consider five critical life questions:

Who am I? Where am I going? Who is going with me? How do I get there? What can I do?

Within these questions are the keys to how you relate with others, where you have growth opportunities, and what your absolute advantages are. What might happen if you embraced your scars, mistakes, and missteps – and utilized the lessons learned to propel you forward? What if you imagine that anything was possible in your life – and actually believe in achieving those dreams? What impact could you have if you worked in perfect symphony with your team – and created an impact far greater than any single individual? How significant would your life be if you discovered passion and meaning in your life – and tapped into the resulting increase in energy, persistence and creativity?

By utilizing lessons learned from surviving childhood burns on 100% of his body, John O’Leary guides audiences around the world on an emotional, humorous, uplifting and results-oriented ride. John inspires you to look deeply within yourself, discover who you are, the talents you possess, the challenges you’ve endured, and your ability to grow through adversity. Through this program, you will be ignited with a life full of possibility you had not yet even imagined.

John illustrates the power of the human spirit through his personal story. As a nine-year-old boy, he was given less than one percent chance of survival. He endured months in the hospital, years in therapy, dozens of surgeries, and lost all of his fingers to amputation. Despite the odds, he overcame those challenges to become a college graduate; business owner; hospital chaplain; the Ambassador for Big Brothers, Big Sisters; the first inductee into the Energizer “Keep Going” Hall of Fame; an international speaker; and a husband and father. John has shared his message with over 450 organizations in 37 states and 4 countries.
