 If You Can’t Stand Up, Stand Out! 

When motivational speaker Mike Schlappi takes the floor, a dazzling smile greets you. Then you notice the wheelchair. If ever a man was defined by what he can do instead of what he cannot do, it’s Gold Medalist and Author Mike Schlappi. At the age of 14, Mike was an outstanding athlete when a gunshot to the chest at point-blank range challenged his dreams. He would never walk again. After months of rigorous physical therapy, he began playing basketball from his wheelchair and went on to become a standout athlete. 

Mike Schlappi’s thought-provoking keynote presentation challenges individuals of all ages and walks of life, that you can take response-ability and be empowered despite difficult circumstances. His engaging presentations have entertained and inspired audiences worldwide. From the classroom to the board room, from small gatherings to large corporate events, Mike challenges “If You Can’t Stand Up, Stand Out!”
