We all face challenges and obstacles in pursuit of our personal and business dreams. For most of us, those are day to day frustrations to which we often attribute far more weight than we should. For others, like Victoria Arlen, those obstacles include two rare neurological conditions that nearly took her life and left her in a vegetative state, and locked within her own body completely unable to communicate with the outside world for nearly four years. Written off as a lost cause by doctors, Victoria’s family refused to give up on her. As she slowly began to recover, she spent ten years in a wheelchair during which she became a Paralympic Gold & Silver medal winning swimmer and one of the youngest on-air hosts ever hired by ESPN. Determined to walk again, she did, and then some. In March of 2016, she took her first steps in over a decade and later that year she debuted on ABC’s hit show, Dancing With The Stars. In 2018, she went on to release her memoir book, and 30-for-30 film, of the same title “Locked In.” This not-to-be-missed session, in which this astonishing millennial shares her remarkable story, weaves in the themes of gratitude, creativity, relentless hard work and her personal mantra of ‘Face It – Embrace It – Defy It – Conquer It’. It’s an emotional rollercoaster of powerful storytelling that will take you from tears to cheers and redefine what it means to be inspired.
