About Me
I’m Jon Slifka,
TRAILBLAZER . LEADER . ADVOCATE .
Throughout my entire life, I have broken barriers.
Growing up in West Hartford, Connecticut, at every turn I was the first person with a disability to take the path I followed. The first one to be mainstreamed through the public school system. The first one in the state to play in the Little League. The first Connecticut student in a wheelchair to play on a high school tennis team.
I didn’t always realize I was traversing new ground, I just felt I was headed in the right direction.
WHAT IS INSPIRE UNIVERSITY?
Inspire University or, “Inspire U”, is a 360° approach to the concepts of inspiration, motivation, and learning. As eternal students in life, I believe that we all should look for opportunities to inspire and motivate others while constantly seeking knowledge and growth.
Inspire University Provides Keynotes and Community Talks.
Along with your company, corporation, organization, or classroom, it is my sincere hope that we can all inspire, motivate and learn together.
“Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.”
– Augustine Og Mandino
