Speaking And Appearances
The most inspiring individuals and teams cultivate an unwavering belief in themselves, defying the doubts and limitations the world may place on them. Jeremy’s messages inspires students, athletes, and leaders to break free from limiting beliefs, tap into that deep belief, and create an environment where everyone feels empowered to achieve their personal best and contribute to something greater.
People are carrying more than ever—trying to meet expectations, navigate challenges, and push through setbacks that often feel overwhelming. This leaves people feeling stuck and impacts how they see themselves, connect with others, and reach for what’s possible. So, how do we break through these invisible limits, unlock our true potential, and build lives and teams where we feel confident, capable, and connected? Jeremy helps individuals and teams overcome these challenges by sharing his story of resilience, inspiring others to rewrite their narrative, tap into a deeper belief, and create a future where they achieve more than they ever thought possible.
THE GOLD MEDAL MINDSET:
Why Our Greatest Obstacles Are the Stories We Believe About Ourselves
At sixteen years old, Jeremy walked into his first Paralympic competition and was asked a question that stopped him in his tracks:
“What is your disability?”
Until that moment, Jeremy had never thought of himself that way. Growing up with one leg, he simply saw himself as a kid who loved competing and testing what he was capable of.
But that question introduced a label and with it came a choice.
Would that label define what he was capable of?
Or would he decide that for himself?
Jeremy chose to write his own story.
Over the next two decades, he has become a five-time Paralympic gold medalist and world record holder. But along the way, Jeremy realized something surprising. Most people assume his biggest obstacle was his missing leg. In reality, the biggest obstacles we face are often invisible. They are the inner stories we carry about our identity, our worth, and our potential.
Jeremy speaks to students, leaders and organizations about the labels and inner narratives that quietly shape how we see ourselves. He challenges them to separate circumstance from identity and recognize how the stories we believe shape our identity, influence our confidence and expectations, and ultimately define what we believe is possible for our lives.
His mission is to foster individual resilience and help schools and organizations create cultures of belonging and inclusivity.
Audiences will learn how to:
• Recognize the stories and labels shaping their identity by becoming aware of the inner narratives that influence confidence, expectations, and potential.
• Question limiting narratives by separating circumstance from identity and challenging beliefs that quietly define what they think is possible.
• Rewrite their story through personal standards and choices, responding to adversity with resilience and deciding who they will become regardless of circumstance.
