Jeff Ryan – Founder of Teach Inspire Empower and Author of Sharks in the Water: Overcoming Life’s Challenges
Jeff Ryan is a great example of finding his purpose and overcoming obstacles after facing a near death experience. In 2008, Jeff was working at a construction site, no different than any other day. His company installed luxury swimming pools in Australia. They were pouring concrete on the 7 floor of a building and then he heard a boom and his life was changed forever. His body lay beside the pool battered and covered in shrapnel wounds. His co-workers thought he was dead. It was about 10 minutes before Jeff showed any signs of life. He wasn’t done doing what he wanted to do and needed to do. Jeff spent 10 days in the burn unit and tried to go back to work. After the accident, he lost part of his frontal lobe of the brain. His goal is to help people around the world reach their full potential. Jeff wants to help people to inspire, instruct and empower and help people find their true calling.
