"Living life without my eyesight, every day that I wake up I'm tapping into a certain level of trust in myself. I have to trust that I'm going in the right direction. I have to trust that as I put one foot in front of the other, I am in fact getting to where I need to go." - Lex Gillette

Lex Gillette is a globally recognized Paralympian who competes primarily in the long jump. He's a fivetime Paralympic medalist and four-time world champion.

As a keynote speaker, Lex's message is There is no need for sight when you have a vision®

I loved having Lex back on the podcast to talk about his new book No Need for Sight When You have a Vision: What Blindness can teach us about risk and leadership

In this episode we talk about what happened right after our long conversation - ahem - the pandemic. He had been training for the 2020 paralympics, that were delayed. We talk about how he took that delay and the mindset tricks he used to manage the disappointment.

You'll also hear:

• The importance of trust. How he trusts himself and how he trusts others.
• The role vulnerability plays in trust.
• How risk helped him know what he was capable of
• And much more!
