No arms, No legs, No worries
Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together…no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life? Meet Nick… Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs.

Listen to this compelling speaker as he shares the major keys in fulfilling our biggest dreams: persistence and choosing to embrace failure as a learning experience, rather than allowing guilt and fear of failure to paralyze us. Through his amazing ability to connect with people from all walks of life and his incredible sense of humor that captivates children, teens and adults alike, Nick is a truly inspirational motivational speaker.

Fuel Your Life
What we get out of our lives is directly reflective of what we put in – from the foods we eat, the way we move, the quality and quantity of our sleep and the thoughts we think. If the food we are eating gives us enough time to finish school, find our soul mate, travel around the world and have half a dozen children before we reach the expiry date, that food is no longer alive. We are living. Ideally, we are full of life, vitality and energy, and so we need our food to do the same for us. This is not about calorie counts or fat grams. This is about getting the most from the foods we eat which begins with the best, easiest and most delicious choices. Our food is our fuel. What’s fueling you?

Join Meghan Telpner for an inspiring, entertaining, humorous and engaging lecture where she will clearly illustrate how food choices impact all choices, how to get the most from the foods we eat and how making the right choices now builds a solid foundation for a future of health. There is no better time to Fuel Your Life!

Lean Thinking Put Into Action
