5x Paralympic Medallist and 4x World Champion in the long jump
Best-selling author of "No Need for Sight When You Have a Vision"
Has presented to clients including Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft

Robbed of his sight during childhood, Lex Gillette was determined not to fall victim to a world of darkness. Now, Lex is a five-time Paralympic medallist, four-time world champion, and the only totally blind athlete to shatter the 22-foot barrier in the long jump. As an ADN Hall of Fame inductee, Lex’s athletic talents have been featured on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today Sports, and People Magazine, to name just a few. Off the field, Lex's vision extends far beyond the track. He dedicates himself to empowering minds on the essential values of resilience, perseverance, and the power of a dream. As a global inspirational speaker, Lex does more than share his story. He ignites a flame in others, challenging them to see more than what is in front of their eyes. Prepare to see differently because there is no need for sight when you have a vision.

Topics, sessions and talks

Remove The Blindfold

Lex explores the idea of blindfolds, how they appear in our lives and amongst our teams, and what we can do to remove them to see the world with more clarity and truth.

Connection Is The New Currency

We will explore the 13-year relationship between Lex and his guide, Wesley Williams, and how a real and authentic connection has helped propel Lex to dominance on the global stage. You will leave this session with a firm understanding of the power skills needed to build and maintain real connections and how that connection helps drive teams to dominance in the arena of life that matters most to them.

No Need For Sight When You Have A Vision

Lex explores the importance of vision, how it plays a critical role in our ability to break down barriers and accomplish our biggest goals, and how the presence of a vision establishes a framework for endless potential and achievement.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
