Connor Fields delivered one of the most powerful presentations the FIFA World Cup 2026 Safety & Security team has ever experienced. As he shared his journey to Olympic gold—and the near-fatal crash that changed everything—the entire room was completely captivated. His message of resilience, mindset, and the will to rise again landed with extraordinary impact. You could feel the awe at the end… the kind that only follows something truly profound. Connor doesn’t just inspire audiences—he transforms them. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Connor was our closing keynote speaker at our Accounting Summit in Denver, and he completely won the crowd over. Our audience of finance and accounting leaders doesn’t always expect a BMX Olympian to speak directly to their world, but Connor made the connection immediately. His message about preparing for the big moments, and living with the outcomes however they go, landed with people who spend their careers managing high-stakes deadlines and decisions. He was generous, engaging, and the energy in the room was tangible. It was the perfect end to our conference.

Connor taught us in his keynote presentation that grit and determination to reach for and achieve your goal is so very worth it. Our conference was in Colorado Springs and the additional experience with him in tow at the US Olympic & Paralympic Museum was icing on the cake and then some. Hire this guy people. He is so worth it. Very motivational. Congratulations Connor for forging onward and not stopping at the “Now what?”.

We invited Connor to be our keynote speaker for our regional leadership retreat. As part of a large healthcare system, our audience consisted of 300 healthcare leaders. We selected Connor not only for his impressive accomplishments as an Olympic athlete but also for his inspiring patient story.
Connor’s keynote was a tremendous success, leaving our leadership teams to ponder questions, ‘What do you do after you succeed?’, ‘What do you do after you fail?’, and ‘What do you do after everything falls apart?’. What truly elevated his keynote from good to great was the time Connor invested in tailoring his presentation to our unique needs. He also joined us for dinner the night before, where he socialized with our team. This amplified his keynote and fostered a personal connection with the audience, making the entire experience much more personal.

Connor was amazing as an inspiring and energizing start on our Employee Conference. We had nearly 200 team members from different countries around Caribbean & Central America completely engaged on his story. It has the perfect balance on discipline, hard work, emotions, and resilience. What a way to connect with our “hunger for growth” and “accountability” topics! Connor was always so open to work with us, adjust some parts of the speech so we could easily connect with the messages on our convention, and happy to answer all the questions that the team eagerly brought!
