Learning Objective
  • Identifying and Embrace Adversity: Attendees will learn strategies to recognize adversity when it appears and techniques to embrace it as an integral part of personal and professional growth. This includes understanding the psychological and emotional processes that help turn challenging situations into opportunities for development.
  • Develop Resilience Through Positive Reactions: Attendees will be equipped with tools to modify their reactions to unexpected challenges, focusing on 90% of their responses rather than the 10% of life events that are beyond their control.
  • Value Life Through the Lens of Adversity: Attendees will gain insights into how viewing life’s adversities as beneficial can fundamentally shift their perspective on personal setbacks and challenges. They will learn methods to reframe their experiences to see adversity not as a barrier, but as a stepping stone to greater rewards and personal enlightenment.

    • Session Description
    Most people in life understand adversity but how many of us welcome it? In this keynote, Wesley will take you on a journey of how to overcome obstacles by truly embracing them. He will teach you how to accept things that may seem questionable; and how to find a positive lesson in all things. Our life is shaped by about 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how we react to those happenings. In this incredibly inspirational talk, Wesley will also provide an understanding on how to value your life in a way that adversity becomes something we embrace because the rewards are endless!

    More About Wesley Hamilton

    Wesley Hamilton was born and raised on the east side of Kansas City, Missouri, where it was difficult for a young African American male to find opportunity outside of the streets. By the age of 16, he became too much for his mother to handle and moved out to be on his own. By the age of 22, he became a father to his daughter, Nevaeh. He was a single father, working full-time, and shortly after his 24th birthday, he experienced a traumatic event that left him paralyzed. 

    Wesley's story is one of hope, perseverance, and love for himself and others.
