Finding Perspective:

Overcoming Obstacles, Setbacks and Failures

A keynote speech written and sharpened through the ordeal of losing everything, going to prison for six years and coming out better for it. After his very public arrest and conviction, while serving his sentence in Prison, Kevin came to see that we all have a fundamental choice on how we see the world.  We can look at each day as a gift or a curse and we can choose to thrive or to suffer.

  • A raw, honest account of his total collapse and the loss of any moral and ethical compass.

  • From suicidal ideations, the massive amounts of narcotic pain medications, to the lies and manipulations that became commonplace in his daily life and to his family.

  • A hard look at the events that led to committing armed bank robberies in January and February of 2016, including high speed vehicle chases and a very public arrest and arraignment in CT Superior CourtA look at spending time in Connecticut’s Super-Max facility and his incarceration after pleading out to multiple felony charges.

  • Some of the life lessons and realizations Kevin made through this saga about who he was as a person, as a husband and father, and as a professional in the Financial Services Industry and how these may apply to our daily lives.

  • Based on the years of research, counseling and consulting with experts, this keynote contains step by step processes for overcoming obstacles, setbacks and even failures in our personal and professional lives.

This presentation can teach us that:

  • Living a great life is possible through perspective and attitude versus environment, socio-economic status and possessions.

  • We are all resilient, and completely capable of learning the skills to move forward through obstacles and failures; big and small; personal and professional.

  • Perspective is our greatest weapon against the on-going turmoil and unrest we encounter along our journey.

  • Perspective can allow us to better understand our fellow humans and to be more patient with our loved ones, coworkers and friends.

  • Perspective can bring inner peace, radical acceptance of what is and the faith to see a bright future even when skies are dark.
