Hi, I'm Nick Smith, the Rebel Ninja. I'm a professional speaker, facilitator, corporate trainer, and disability advocate. I was involved in a car accident when I was 6 months old, and as a result, I have a disability. But I don't let this hold me back. I say that my disability is both my greatest weakness but also my greatest strength. You see, I do some pretty crazy things like salsa dancing, for example. I've been doing that for 21 years. I'm also part of the PSASA. That's the Professional Speakers Association of South Africa. When I speak, I aim to activate, impact, and move people to become more growth mindset orientated, less risk averse, and more ready. to take control of their lives, thus creating their own reality. I look forward to collaborating with you soon. Bye for now.
