Spencer West

Spencer’s life has been marked both by hardships and success. When he was five, he lost both of his legs from the pelvis down and had to enter a world which could have defeated him. Instead, he faced the challenges little by little, learning to find his way in a world set against people with disabilities. His lessons and achievements along the way turned him into an inspiration for business leaders, professionals, educators and young people helping them to redefine possible in their lives and careers.

On the stage, speaker Spencer West genuinely mesmerizes all audiences: from 20,000-seat stadiums to volunteer excursions, his advice is helping millions of people globally to stand up and face their challenges. He has spoken alongside the likes of Justin Trudeau, Al Gore and Natalie Portman and opened for Demi Lovato on her world tour – inspiring thousands of her fans.

In his presentations, Spencer always offers great insights and important life lessons on how to find opportunity in every challenge while inspiring hope for leaders, students, corporations, families and faith-based groups. Moreover, when he is not on the speaking platform, speaker Spencer West is also working tirelessly to facilitate volunteer trips and create lasting change in communities all over the world.
