Scott received some wonderful praise from a recent financial services client. The back story: after years of booking 'industry insiders' this client was looking for something different. She wanted a speaker who could deliver a much needed shot to the arm to her association members, while still speaking to the challenges they face in their jobs every day, and the issues confronting their industry.

Scott Burrows recently spoke to a financial services company and the CEO was so impressed with what he heard that he booked him to speak to another one of his companies virtually on the spot. What struck such a chord for the CEO? In one word it was willpower. After the presentation he said to Scott: "you willed yourself out of that wheelchair. You willed your nerve endings to fire again. Willpower is the Grit." He went on to observe how very much his top producers needed to be reminded to will themselves up every day, and do all the little things they need do as they pursue new opportunities and grow their businesses.

The word inspirational is bandied around a lot these days - it's something we could all use in these trying times, and it's something many try their best to provide as coaches, trainers, speakers, and entertainers.

There are very few people that can come close to the inspirational life story of Scott Burrows. The early years of his life were marked by achievement in a number of sports - kickboxing, track and field, football - he excelled at them all. Then at just 19 years of age his life took a dramatic turn when he was involved in a horrific car crash.

What would have been a devastating blow to many presented itself as a challenge to Scott - he shifted his focus towards rehabilitation, refusing to be daunted by the grim prognosis presented to him by his doctors. The next 20+ years involved some remarkable achievements for Scott, in many more ways than his physical rehabilitation.
