Hal's Unbelievable Life-After-Death Story:
On
top of the world at age 20 as one of the best salespeople in a
company's 50-year history, Hal's world ended when he was hit head-on by
a drunk driver and found dead at the scene...
Six
minutes later, fate decided it wasn't Hal's time. Six days later he
woke from a coma to face what would be a devastating reality for most: he had broken 13 bones, was diagnosed with permanent brain damage, and was told by doctors that he would never walk again.
Defying
the logic of doctors and the seemingly insurmountable adversity he was
faced with, Hal accepted 100% responsibility for his present choices
and future circumstances. Miraculously, he took his first step just 3
weeks after doctor said he'd never walk. Hal was released from the
hospital and became living proof that all of us are capable of
overcoming any adversity to create extraordinary results when he
returned to selling and finished the year as the #6 sales rep in the
country!
Hal's journey continued as he went on to become a #1
National Champion Sales Manager, one of the youngest ever inducted into
his company's Hall of Fame at just 25, a Top 10 Bestselling Author at
26, now in the Top 1% of Life & Business Coaches in the world and
as one of the top international Keynote, Motivational and Youth
Speakers in the world, Hal inspires thousands of People &
Organizations to Overcome Adversity and Create Miraculous Results.
