“Connor Fields’ life story and achievements are a true inspiration for those seeking motivation to those challenges that we all face every day, both personally and professionally. I had the pleasure of hearing Connor speak an event in a smaller group about a year prior. After hearing him speak, I found myself recalling his story when I was in situations where I needed to self-motivate and be reminded of what comes from hard work and dedication – even when life throws obstacles your way. I wanted to share that opportunity with others, so I organized a group of several companies in our professional industry that expressed interest in hearing his story for themselves. The reaction of that group afterwards was so amazing to see. From those interested in how he coped with battling depression to those who wanted to find creative ways to inspire motivation in their employees – everyone left with their own version of inspiration that came from hearing him speak. Many mentioned that they would want to hear him speak again. Connor is an exceptional individual with amazing accomplishments and a life story with unbelievable ups and downs. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for that kind of inspiration to seek Connor out.”
Vincent Tatum, President at Grand Canyon Development Partners
“I have never seen every single member of our team so captivated, intrigued, and hanging on the edge of their seats. During his talk, people were laughing, in tears, motivated, and educated - there is nothing more you can ask for! Connor is a champion on the largest stage in sports, and he made every single person feel like they know now what it takes to be a champion in their own lives, and in our business! I can’t recommend Connor enough to anyone who is considering having him come speak to their team, regardless of industry or size of team.”
