Born without arms, John Foppe has had to break down and re-think every aspect of day-to-day life. He learned that the inability to do something didn't rest on the lack of resources or vision. Instead, it has more to do with one's subconscious perception to meeting a challenge head on.
As a child, he had difficulty doing the simple things most of us take for granted, and he led a life marked by dependency. At 10 years old, John couldn't put his own pants on. Today, he travels the world as an author and owner of a successful international training company.
In the field as part of his master's degree in social work, John saw this scenario play out repeatedly. To his surprise, he discovered that many people subconsciously substitute personal improvement with systems to support their perceived limitations. As an advisor and speaker, John also witnessed this resistant mindset operate in all sort of companies. He repeatedly heard leaders complain about how difficult is to motivate their people.
Since 1995, John's work has taken him to 15 different countries, pro-football organizations like the Miami Dolphins, and Fortune 500 clients including Boeing, GE, and State Farm. Moreover, he has worked with international companies that include Fortis, ST Microelectronics, and UniCredit.
In Hyderabad, John will recount his transformation from victim to victor. And these are a few things you will learn:
- I can do anything
- I must stop feeling sorry for myself
- I must change my attitude
- I must overcome obstacles
- If it is to be, it is upto me
- I was born to win
- If John can do it without arms, then I can do it
