Okiki Podcast Episode 70: Overcoming Coming Challenges and Reaching New Heights with Christopher Powell - Black History Month Series

Okiki Podcast: Making Inspirational People Known- Finding Your Purpose and the turning points that Propel You to Success

Christopher Powell is a groundbreaking mathematician, businessman, and motivational speaker… with cerebral palsy. He is the working embodiment of extraordinary determination despite tremendous odds. His humorous, insightful stories of personal triumph over a lifetime of heartbreaking disability show others how they can overcome the challenges by turning negatives into positives.

One of America's top emerging disability awareness speakers, Chris is founder and president of Reaching New Heights, LLC and Math Tutoring Experts, LLC. For over 20 years as Coordinator of the Mathematics Learning Center at Montgomery College(Takoma Park/Silver Spring), he has inspired thousands of students to reach beyond their limits. Chris holds a Bachelors degree in Mathematics from the University of Maryland, where he was also awarded the Dean's Award for Academic Achievement.

The moment he enters the room, Chris breaks down barriers of

seemingly insurmountable despondency, apathy, and even shame.

With disarming honesty and passion, he speaks about celebrating

small victories, encouraging people from all walks of life to find the

gifts within their challenges.

Christopher combines the lessons he’s learned about living with

cerebral palsy with wisdom about being positive and flexible in

business and in life. His keynotes teach audiences how to:

• Develop well thought-out plans.
• Execute plans with determination.
• Develop a high level of resilience.
• Engage life with love and vigor.

Despite the overwhelming obstacles that he has faced learning to

independently stand, bathe, eat, walk, write, speak publicly, earn

degrees and accolades - even run competitively - Christopher Powell

continues to persevere.

Chris is currently finishing a book entitled, "Overcoming Challenges in the Four Phases of Life - Success Strategies from Top Leaders and Entrepreneurs - Volume 1 - African-American Edition" which will be released in January 2022
