Lex Gillette

Lex's story will inspire and motivate any audience. He had the right combination - a great story, powerful take aways, and a wonderful presence that was spirit-filled and captivating.

During his TEDx San Diego talk, Lex brought the entire audience to their feet for a standing ovation! Even better, there wasn't a dry eye in the house! As a speaker coach, I have worked with hundreds of speakers. Lex is among the best in his class. He is masterful at bringing his world-class athlete's energy and training to the stage in his speech.

If you want a speaker who connects deeply with your audience, then look no further than Lex. Having done events for over a decade with some great speakers, my expectations were high, however, Lex delivered well beyond and we still have colleagues quoting some of the positive messages that were delivered. We will definitely be having Lex back in and would highly recommend him for an an engaging conference experience.

I have had the great pleasure to partner with Paralympian Lex Gillette at a few different leadership forums. At each one I have seen with my own eyes how quickly and completely he is able to connect with each member of the audience and inspire them to tap into something within themselves that "sees more" possibilities -- just like Lex does! He speaks from his heart about the story of his journey from being a young boy in North Carolina who faced a stark and dark new reality to becoming a young man with well-developed strengths and vision who could stand tall on the winners platform in 4 Paralympiads. And beyond his story, what Lex helps his audience get a glimpse of is not only his subtle and humble greatness, but also his transformational vision for what is possible for all of us!

I am a consultant, trainer of elite financial advisors and a professional public speaker. Over the past decade I have run over 45 programs for my clients ranging in size from twenty-five to over three hundred. We also hire talent from outside our organization semiannually to speak to our clients. This has given me access to the brightest minds in the public speaking industry, and Lex Gillette is truly unique and talented. His energy and powerful connection with the audience at our recent program was impressive. My clients are a tough audience who see some of the best speakers every year and they were delighted with his talk. Mr. Gillette's speech was authentic, full of relatable stories, and packed a refreshing dose of good humor.. Lex's Paralympic and life experiences provided a highly relevant perspective to our work environments, thus challenging both my colleagues to have our own gold medal performances everyday and laugh at ourselves and the excuses we come up with for not hitting our goals. I highly recommend Lex and would welcome a call to discuss my experience working with him.
