FEARLESS

Krishna’s accident helped him realize the importance of blood donation. The need for blood is constant and donors are essential to maintain a healthy and reliable supply.

Conquering Adversity

We all face adversity. Overcoming barriers seems easy for some, harder for others. Krishna who has persistently, gracefully, and triumphantly overcome adversity after losing his leg, will help each individual audience member face their own challenges as well, through discipline and a deep belief in their own power to succeed. Krishna helps audiences learn to focus on what they want in life by continuing to learn and grow.

Mastering Change -The Only Constant

Change—that unavoidable constant. Usually, change comes in small, continuous, and at times insidious adjustments to our reality It may be new information, a new job, or a new client. Sometimes, as it did for Krishna Thompson, change arrives all at once, with unspeakable force—his life forever altered. Learn from a man whose body and perspective changed irrevocably in one frightening moment. Become forever inspired by his determination to regain his life and build a future. Krishna’s story teaches us all to expect change and accept only greatness!

Possibilities, Not Limitations

We all have something that limits us. As a living example himself, Krishna shows us how to focus on what we can accomplish, and encourages the physically challenged and the able-bodied to achieve their goals—no matter how wonderfully large or seemingly small. As Krishna’s highly personal and passionately told story illustrates, a positive attitude makes anything possible; you must believe in yourself!
