Tuesday, October 25 – 11:30 a.m., Green Bay campus
(Green Bay) Author and motivational speaker Spencer West will present “Overcoming Obstacles” next week at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. The one-hour presentation will be held Tuesday, October 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Student Center Commons on the Green Bay campus.
Described as inspirational and charismatic, West speaks candidly about the struggles he overcame after losing his legs at the age of five. He speaks about overcoming stereotyping and bullying, about finding meaning and happiness in a material world and how he never lost the hope or courage needed to mount personal obstacles. Infused with humor and humility, his thought-provoking message inspires people to find opportunity in every challenge. West’s story will soon be shared in his upcoming memoir, “Standing Tall: My Journey.” (Source: www.metowe.com)
