Cam Calkoen - TedX talk

Posted by Christie Parkin on 05/05/2015

2006 & 2009 Service to the Community Winner Cameron Calkoen was recently invited to speak in Queenstown with TedX. He's doing awesome things in this world!

Imagine a world more awesome. Can you be gooder than good and greater than great? Cam helps you to see that barriers exist in life but the main ones that hold you back are the ones that you create yourself. From a life as a professional athlete to now a professional inspirer, Cam takes you to his some of his dark places of doubt, all the way up to the clouds...of awesome.

No one can walk or talk at birth but some people like him are presented with this likelihood for the rest of their lives. He chose to defy the odds and now he has the opportunity to showcase what can be achieved when we see opportunity, clarify purpose and enhance an inspired attitude. He was born wtih cerebral palsy but today the only label he needs is his name.
