Chris Norton Motivational Speaker

In this video, motivational speaker Chris Norton shares how your life can change in an instant. His changed forever on October 16, 2010. After an accident on the football field, he lost all feeling from his neck down. He was told he would never be able to move again. He had two choices. Was he going to spend the rest of his life feeling sorry for myself? Or was he going to make a stand? He knew one thing – when they tell you that you have a 3% chance of moving anything below your neck again, forget the 97%. Focus on the 3%. His life changed forever; but through his experience, he realized that how his life would change was up to his. He had the power to stand. 

Every person and organization will face adversity, uncertainty, and change. Despite being knocked down, the successful ones find The Power to Stand. They are resilient and learn how to respond and adapt. Chris knows what it’s like to face difficult challenges after suffering a spinal cord injury playing college football. He was given a 3% chance to ever move anything below the neck. He defied those odds by not only standing but walking across his college graduation stage and years later down the aisle of his wedding.
