	Expertise: Adversity • Inspiration • Motivation • Health & Wellness Fee Range: $5,000 to $10,000 Location: California Do you want an inspirational, mesmerizing keynote speaker who understands the theme of your conference and will bring focus and power to your corporate or health care convention or church event? Kate Adamson delivers! This is not just a “feel good” motivational speaker. Kate’s experience is unique. She inspires audiences from coast to coast to overcome personal and organizational paralysis with simple techniques which combine professional focus and spiritual disciplines.

	Against one-in-a-million odds, she overcame total paralysis from a devastating double brainstem stroke. Today she brings audiences to their feet in enthusiastic appreciation and moves them to action with focus, determination and courage. What challenges do you face? What goals is your organization is trying to reach? What is stopping you? What are you doing about it? Kate inspires corporate, medical, educational and religious leaders to overcome the paralysis that keeps their organizations from advancing to the next level of accomplishment. She proves that we can achieve the impossible by simplifying issues and focusing on what we have, not what we don’t; what we want, not what we don’t; and what we can do, not what we can’t. What would happen if every leader in your organization focused on what they wanted, not what they didn’t? What if every member of your team focused on their abilities rather than their disabilities? Would there be anything you could not accomplish? This versatile speaker’s faith-based yet practical approach moves corporate, medical, civic, religious and educational audiences. She speaks not from theory, but personal experience. Once considered “dead”– her life not worth saving – she now travels the country as the only professional speaker to have recovered from Locked-in Syndrome. Program and Brief Description “One Hand Clapping” Appreciation before Accommodation What will your leadership team accomplish when they focus on employees’ abilities, not their disabilities – on what they can do, not what they can’t? What if they saw assets where others saw liabilities? There are legal requirements involving accommodation, but are there also practical advantages to accommodating the disabled? What challenges do you face? What goal is your organization trying to reach? What stops you? Is that a form of paralysis? What are you doing about it? What caliber of employee will help your organization overcome the paralysis that keeps you from moving to your next level? Could disabled workers help provide some unexpected answers? What qualifies Kate Adamson to speak to this issue? In 1995, against one-in-a-million odds, Kate overcame Locked-in Syndrome from a devastating double brainstem stroke. She was completely and total paralyzed, on life support, unable to move, speak, or even blink her eyes. Today she inspires audiences from coast to coast to overcome personal and organizational paralysis with professional focus and personal discipline. Her simple but profound presentation, “One Hand Clapping”, demonstrates that corporations as well as individuals can achieve the improbable by focusing on what we have, not what we don’t; what we want, not what we don’t; and what we can do, not what we can’t. She encourages employers to respect and appreciate the disabled, not by assuming that every disabled person is a good worker but by recognizing that good employees who overcome disabilities often develop extraordinary approaches to ordinary problems. Kate is not just another “feel good” motivational speaker; her experience and message is as unique as it is powerful. Her versatile yet practical approach to issues involving disabled workers (and disabled organizations) comes not from theory, but from personal experience. Once considered “dead” – her life not worth saving – she traveled the long road back to the land of the living, and now travels the country as the only professional speaker to ever recover from Locked-in Syndrome. She is a deeply inspirational keynote speaker who brings your convention audiences to their feet in enthusiastic appreciation; moving them to action with focus, determination and courage. Give your convention the gift of Kate’s Journey; then give them her book so they will absorb – and apply – her message of tough determination and unstoppable personal focus.
