Bill Irwin, with his Seeing Eye dog Orient, is the only blind person to have completed the 2,168 mile Appalachian Trail. His historic hike began in Georgia and ended almost nine months later in north central Maine. This amazing odyssey was the single most publicized human endeavor that year, and an inspiring example of overcoming the odds for all!
Bill continues to inspire millions of persons each year as a much sought after motivational speaker. His unique message of perseverance and the will to survive tantalizes very diverse audiences throughout the world as he inspires his listeners to achieve their impossible dreams! His home spun, self deprecating humor and life experiences, (over thirty years in corporate America, recovery from alcoholism, the Appalachian Trail experiences and encounters as a family counselor) allow him to make life-changing observations which translate into eventual life changing decisions in the lives of every person in his audiences! Punctuated by his humorous stories, Bill?s presentations steal the hearts of everyone in each audience!
Mr. Irwin spends many hours in research and performs interviews with key people within your company at all different levels in order to get a varied perspective of the company, how each person perceives it and how it works and then he incorporates all the information together with any corporate culture that they are willing to share and then relate his points to that information. Each presentation is customized for the group he is addressing. You tell us what you want the outcome of his presentation to be and that is exactly what you will get.
