More About John Register:

John Register is a two-time Paralympian, Paralympic Games Silver Medalist, Persian Gulf War

veteran, and TEDx Motivational Speaker. He embraced a “new normal mindset” in becoming an

amputee following a misstep over a hurdle while training for the 1996 Olympic Games, after

participation in two consecutive Olympic trials.

 

An Oak Park, Ill. native, Register discovered how to “amputate his fear of disability” and founded

the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee Military Sport Program in the early 2000s. He

launched a book titled: 10 Stories to Impact Any Leader: Journal Your Way to Leadership Success,

as business leaders return to work with their staff amid stressful circumstances surrounding the

Coronavirus pandemic and the unrest in urban cities.

 

Register teaches business professionals through his “Hurdling Adversity” speeches and podcasts

to “amputate fear and embrace their new normal,” as they discover “stories within themselves.”
