O'LEARY Live Inspired
BIO:
John
O’Leary, lived through worse than most can imagine.
At the age of nine, a fire exploded and burned 100%
of his body. Given a one-percent chance to live, he
fought extraordinary odds.
John
spent five months in the hospital, underwent dozens
of surgeries, lost all of his fingers to amputation
and had to relearn to walk, write, and feed himself.
He endured, persevered, and survived – largely
because others emerged, served and inspired. He now
lives to share the life-giving lessons from his story
in the hope that he can Spark! the extraordinary possibility
of your story.
John

into the flames to save him. Who worked tirelessly
to restore him. Who pushed him to write though he
no longer had fingers. Who held him close when the
days were dark and the nights were scary. John share
these lessons as an invitation for you to choose to
wake up to the fullness of your life, to embrace the
amazing gift of each moment, and to celebrate the
joy of your inspired life!

Sparks

faith and love. Sparks that remind you that one person,
one action, one word, does indeed make a difference.
Sparks that liberate you from excuses, destructive
cynicism, limiting beliefs, broken relationships,
and lousy results. And sparks that, when united, ignite
us together toward an extraordinary future!
What
John knows for certain is this: You can’t always
choose the path you walk in life, but you can always
choose the manner in which you walk.

SPEECH
TOPICS:
Sales
& Business
Today’s business environment has more challenges
than ever: budget cuts, declining employee engagement,
and the pressure to increase financial goals. John empowers
audiences to shift perspective, increase individual
and team accountability, and embrace a culture of abundance
rather than scarcity. His keynotes have dramatically
affected the personal and professional lives of business
men & women – and the bottom line.
Healthcare
As a former trauma patient and hospital chaplain, John
is a popular speaker choice for hospital systems, healthcare
associations, and medical/EMS conferences. He understands
that the healthcare profession demands individuals who
are dedicated to serving patients and families, often
with limited resources and exhaustive schedules. John
will reignite participants’ passion for their
healthcare careers.
Insurance
& Finance
John and his family have experienced the incredible
impact proper financial and insurance planning can have.
John’s father, Denny, has been living with Parkinson’s
disease for the past three decades. It is Denny’s
disability insurance policy that has sustained his family’s
standard of living. Additionally, their family has also
rebuilt after two separate house fires. John is a favorite
for client appreciation events, regional / national
meetings and recognition events.
Education John
has shared his message at administration conferences,
student assemblies, and professional development / in-service
workshops. John inspires audiences to fully realize
the possibility of how one can serve, love and impact
more profoundly. John’s message celebrates individual
uniqueness, the power of everyday heroes, and the need
for character and integrity. John’s message may
be the most important gift your students, faculty, and
staff receive this year!
Safety As
John O’Leary so intimately knows, one poor decision
can dramatically affect the rest of your life –
and also your family, organization, and community. Leading
with a vision of eliminating all employee accidents,
John challenges audiences in manufacturing, construction
and utilities to improve their safety through personal
accountability – one employee, one decision at
a time. While many safety programs focus on what NOT
to do, John focuses on what TO DO to cultivate a safe
work place, lead and thrive in life.
Faith Today’s
world can seem so dark. All too often we are reminded
of the pain and disappointment in our everyday lives.
Faith doesn’t guarantee the avoidance of adversity,
but it does share the truth that a loving God suffers
with us in our pain, celebrates with us in our joy,
and invites us into an eternal relationship with Him.
John
illustrates the incredible power of love, gratitude,
forgiveness, purpose, courage and resilience. This program
will empower you to shine your light of faith for all
to see!
Associations John
has reinvigorated association members in all industries
– he will share the intangible values of connecting
with like-minded professionals, being part of something
more and the truth that the best is yet to come.
Direct
Sales & Marketing John
will reignite your consultants’ passion for selling
and your vision for what is possible.
