What to expect

People of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances have adversity in their past, present, or future. The question becomes will they allow it to box them in, hold them back, keep them stuck or will they use it as fuel for purpose, to inspire the impact they can have in people's lives and in this world, that may also lead to success in life, career, and business.

Organizations are stressed, going through leadership change, culture shifts, expense reduction, and future uncertainty.

Lance's talk promises to shake and wake people up. To get them to feel, think, and act differently as a result of his talk.

There will be laughs, tears shed, and action taken to run through the back door to live differently by reconnecting to purpose.

Many of described Lance's talk as the best they have ever heard!

About

Born into difficult circumstances, Lance lost his mom to suicide before his first birthday. He grew up paycheck to paycheck, and by 17 years old, was living on his own his senior of high school.

Despite it all, he became a first-generation college graduate with a degree in Business & Finance, earning the Certified Financial Planner™ designation.

He spent over 22 years in financial services in consulting, sales, and leadership roles—before a life-changing car accident in his early 30's took a man’s life and radically reoriented Lance’s path toward purpose.

Today, he is a top keynote speaker, performance coach, and best-selling author of Adversity Fuels Purpose—dedicated to helping others transform adversity into purpose, impact, success, and fulfillment.

In his free time, Lance enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, volunteering in his community, playing basketball, and lifting weights at the gym.
