Hit a nerve
Scott’s ability to relate to and engage a diverse group of persons was in evidence, as he tackled tough issues and inspired and motivated those in attendance. Calls for his return started as soon as he departed. It is amazing the profound effect that Scott’s openness, humor, and easy way about him have on people. In today’s world, where a speech such as this could easily be dismissed as just another speech, Scott “hit a nerve” with people, earned their respect and has become a role model for many – not bad for a little over an hour!
Moving and powerful
Scott’s presentation was moving and powerful. He has an eloquent and captivating way of telling his miraculous story with a combination of humor, faith and gratitude. His words are inspirational to everyone who has the pleasure of hearing him speak. One of my students told me it was his favorite assembly he’d ever been to at St. Bernadette!
Absolute honesty
Scott Fedor presented a powerful talk to our middle school students during our Positive Direction program. He shared his story with absolute honesty, describing the hardships and disappointments that have occurred since his accident, but doing so in a way that left the students feeling uplifted. He used terrific humor in his talk and above all taught the children the importance of perseverance, strength and faith. I am certain that his talk will have a lasting impact on everyone who heard it. Having Scott Fedor as part of our program was truly a gift.
Mesmerized
As Scott was sharing his story at our school, the students were mesmerized listening to him. What a story of resilience and perseverance. There was laughter and even a few tears. Our students were able to take from the presentation motivation to triumph through trials in their life. I highly recommend having Scott share with your students how, ‘inch by inch is a cinch. But yard by yard is very hard’. After hearing him, our students believe they too can accomplish anything they set their minds to do.
Truly inspiring
Scott Fedor has defined for me what it means to be brave, and his vitality in the face of difficulty is truly inspiring. His faith and courage have inspired my music in a big way and have helped me more than I can say.
Deeply moving
Scott honored us at our company meeting with a deeply moving, heartfelt look into his incredible journey of living the exhilarating life of a thrill seeking young professional, through then having that idyllic life all change in a split second, to that of his having to deal with, what can only be termed as these almost unfathomable lows, to then the remarkable accomplishments he’s made to get back to where he is today after enduring so much to get there. He made us all acutely aware of his resolute commitment to climb back up to where his life is today, what is now his new, ‘normal’, and he did so in a riveting manner that showed us all that a life lived in faith is a life worth living.
Relevant on many fronts
Scott’s message is inspiring and relevant on many fronts, especially when it comes to change, determination and the required attitude to achieve goals.
Courageous and inspirational
Words can’t begin to describe the impact Scott made on our audience. He delivered his story with such hope and inspiration and since meeting him it is impossible to get him off our minds. Scott is a courageous and inspirational man and delivers a strong message of hope and faith to an audience of any age. Truly, we feel honored that he shared his experience and journey with our group.
Be very inspired and challenged
His story is dramatic, but what captured the audience was his spirit and tenacity. Those who hear him speak will undoubtedly be very inspired and challenged to look at their lives differently.
The perfect fit
Scott’s speech was the perfect fit for our Honors Program Presentation. He conveyed to students and their guests the importance of education and perseverance. His inspiring personal story showed students that just because your life drastically changes, it is far from over. So many students commented after the event on how grateful they were that they heard his message. Scott has the type of charisma that makes everyone feel comfortable around him.
Determination to overcome
Scott delivers a powerful and inspirational presentation that breaks down misperceptions about people with disabilities. His compelling personal story and determination to overcome life’s obstacles challenges his audience to look beyond physical differences and see the abilities of people with special needs. Audiences will leave with a renewed sense of what it means to live and be motivated to work for justice in their communities.
Moving
Scott spoke at our nursing symposium and the feedback was unanimous – Scott’s story is moving. He is an inspiration to all of us and he makes us look at life differently!
A man of action
Scott Fedor is a man of action even though he is a quadriplegic survivor of an unfortunate accident. His ability to overcome his physical limitations and share his enthusiasm for life is a beautiful example of the depth of his faith in God. By sharing his story he brings to his audience a clear message that challenges need not be stumbling blocks, but rather stepping stones to a greater depth of inner peace and joy. Listening to Scott is truly inspirational.
His words are engaging
As part of the team that cared for Scott during the early days of his injury, having him speak at our medical conference was a special privilege that we as healthcare providers don’t often have the chance to experience. His words are engaging and the personal recount of his incredible life journey, before, during and after his accident, provide a unique and fascinating presentation style. Bringing to light his perspective as a patient with his ability to uphold grace, humility, dignity and even humor, was invaluable to us as caregivers.
Impressive and insightful
I sat in the audience at the ADA25 event and listened to Scott’s keynote speech and just want to say that what an impressive and insightful speech was delivered. There were a lot of speeches, proclamations and comments about the ADA and its impact on lives and lifestyles by a variety of speakers from persons with disabilities to politicians and the like. However, Scott’s comments were straightforward, direct, inspiring and from the heart. I don’t and won’t remember much about what was said by many speakers, but to hear Scott describe in detail that “Attitude is Altitude” and “Inch by Inch Is a Cinch, But Yard by Yard Is Very Hard” will stay with me for a long time.
Inspiring and powerful
Scott Fedor provided our wellness program with an inspiring and powerful presentation that was everything I was hoping for and more. Every employee who was lucky enough to hear Scott’s message was profoundly moved and left with a different perspective on life and adversity. The goal of every speaker should be leaving your audience with wanting more and Scott accomplished that unlike almost anyone I have experienced.
Masterful storytelling
Teaching teenagers about their faith is a difficult job. Through his strong sense of God, masterful storytelling and great use of humor, Scott Fedor taught my students more about God’s love in an hour than I probably will all year!
Real hope and insight
Scott’s talk provides real hope and insight to those dealing with a struggle in their lives.
Awesome
Awesome! Your moving and inspiring words will be the best Christmas gifts that all of us who heard you speak will receive this year.
Wonderful message of hope and healing
Scott has a wonderful message of hope and healing. We could have listened to him share his story all day long. We were totally engaged, moved by his story, faith, and determined spirit. Despite the many hurdles he faces every day, he sees his paralysis as a blessing. Clearly, God has called Scott to share that blessing with others. He helps his audience to see the challenges of life through a new lens, a lens which puts it all into perspective and reminds us that we ‘can do all things through Him who strengthens us’ (Phil 4:13).
