Dr. Paul Wichansky, Keynote Speaker on Growth and Leadership

Never let your attitude become a disability.

As a leading motivational speaker, I host presentations that inspire confidence, personal growth, and opportunity.   Combining storytelling with visual arts results in a dynamic, emotionally powerful keynote that shows how a positive mindset can, in the face of tremendous adversity, build confidence and create opportunities to dream, achieve, and succeed.

Since age 10, I have shared my story with over one million youth, parents, and educators nationwide as well as professionals in the advocacy, educational, financial, pharmaceutical, and public service sectors.

Let's create a customized memorable program for your company or organization that helps your audience navigate challenges, increase productivity, and harness untapped potential. 


Working hard to transform obstacles into opportunities for self-improvement, I show to others, by example, how they can also do the same -- and succeed.

I host programs, seminars, and keynotes for companies and organizations searching for innovative strategies to transform obstacles into opportunities for self-improvement.  My objective is to ignite motivation in your management, colleagues, and clients that can maximize growth and employee productivity.


A master storyteller who shares the positive perspectives and realities of growing up with cerebral palsy and a hearing loss, my anecdotes and insights help instill the hope and inspiration that motivates others to realize their own goals and dreams.  I began my speaking career at age ten, sharing my personal experiences with humor.  Over 40 years later, I have inspired more than one million youth, parents, educators and other professionals nationwide and have even spoken at the United Nations.  My TED Talk, “Taking the ‘Dis’ Out of Disability,” has generously been viewed by 3,300+ people.

Yes, that's me at age 50 on the home page of this website!  My students keep me young and my optimism keeps me young at heart.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am honored to write this note in support of Dr. Paul Wichansky. I’ll try to keep the fruit of so many good thoughts and experiences in the following short expression. My endorsement comes from three perspectives: being a content professional, witnessing Dr. Paul’s life-changing impact on his audiences, and being a dear friend.

Since 2003, I have seen Dr. Paul grow as a “motivational” speaker in refining his talents and presentations.  His life experiences continue to champion permanent and meaningful results.  Being a network television and special events professional for 52 years (resumé attached), I have worked closely, one-on-one, with many influential household names including five U.S. presidents, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Warren Buffett, all whom I have had on programs that I produced and directed for PBS and others.  I’ve witnessed their influence from a very close berth, as I have Dr. Paul’s.  I note in particular, Tony Robbins who is a master at motivating and mentoring, even if one disagrees with his approach. I was Tony’s executive producer for many years and I can tell you first-hand that Tony has changed thousands of lives for the better. Dr. Paul does the same as Tony, albeit on a smaller scale, with less flash and fashion.

His physical challenges give him an almost unfair advantage over them but, what sets Dr. Paul apart is his always warm personality, dead-honest presentation and his very unique, unfailing ability to lock down an audience in the first minute, not to mention that his presentations are unforgettable and always enjoyable.

Dr. Paul’s talents equal, and in some respects, excel those above.  Why?  In the many events that Dr. Paul has held at which I’ve attended, I’ve seen and heard many people (through college undergraduate age and adults) instantly breakthrough their self-imposed or culturally imposed limits and immediately break through. The instantaneous change in younger kids and the older adults continue to knock me out. There are dozens of written and recorded testimonies to support this.  Again, Dr. Paul’s personality and honesty move mountains.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Paul for any motivational speaking assignments and I welcome anyone calling or sending me an email to answer any questions.

He is unforgettable. He is one-of-a-kind. His approach works.

Sincerely,

Mark Ganguzza, Executive Producer/Founder
