Overcoming The Impossible To Owning The Pain & Struggle Andrew Fleming

Andrew Fleming best Selling Author, International Speaker & Coach was a fit and active sheep farmer with a passion for bare-foot water skiing in summer and snow skiing in winter in another lifetime but Andrew’s life changed in an instant in October 2000 when a quad-bike accident shattered his spine and left him paraplegic. But far from being defeated by the enormous challenges he was immediately and continually faced with, twenty two years on Andrew says he is happier now than he was before the accident, and he’s achieved more than many able-bodied people – including being back on the ski slopes, doing what he loves most. Andrew’s motivational presentations have captivated audiences in New Zealand and overseas.  His message is clear, positive and empowering: if you find the will, you’ll find the way!

Andrew says no matter how challenging a situation seems, there is always the option to change the channel of your thoughts from negative to positive. It's up to you to see the choice, and take it!
