This episode I'm interviewing my new friend all the way from South Africa! This is the first of many episodes with Nick, he has an incredible story and is doing so many amazing things in the disability world!
Nick's Bio:
A teacher by profession and passion which led him into public speaking, corporate training and disability advocacy. He is part of the PSASA (Professional Speakers’ Association of South Africa), runs two companies - Straight A Tutors and Smergos and launched his speaker brand – The Rebel Ninja.
He believes that challenging life experiences push you as a person; forcing you to either grow to meet the challenges or shy away into their shadows. His greatest strength, and what sets him apart from many others, is his physical disability as a result of a car accident when he was 6 months old. He is a very determined and positive person, perceiving the seemingly impossible as challenges to be overcome. Instead of his disability becoming a weakness it has become an empowering tool.
As an award-winning international speaker and coach, he has presented a variety of workshops and the like, to an array of audiences, including schools, universities and companies. Most relate to disability advocacy, awareness and inclusion; the power of the mind, Growth Mindset and overcoming challenges.
He’s the guy you call when you want to break down barriers and build bridges or maybe if you want to dance some salsa. I give you Nick Smit, The Rebel Ninja
