Ignite Your Life! Discovering the Keys to Unlock Passion, Potential and Impact

John O'Leary
Rising Above
John O'Leary is proof of the power of the human spirit. As a nine-year-old boy, John was burned on 100% of his body and given less than one percent to survive. He endured months in the hospital, years in therapy, dozens of surgeries, and lost all his fingers to amputation. Despite the odds, he not only survived - but thrived.

John is a college graduate, business owner, hospital chaplain, international speaker, husband and father. His presentations have been described as “captivating, amazing and life-changing.” With emotional story-telling and great humor, John challenges and empowers every audience to dream again, re-ignite their passion and take positive action.
