Biography

Jeremy Poincenot is an extraordinary figure, not just as a renowned keynote speaker but also as a world champion in blind golf. Jeremy’s speaking topics often revolve around turning trauma into triumph, the power of interdependence, and seeing challenges as opportunities for growth.

At the age of 19, Jeremy’s life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare genetic disorder that led to the loss of his central vision. Initially viewing this as a life-limiting setback, Jeremy soon realized that every challenge comes with an opportunity for growth. With determination and the support of his family and friends, he not only adapted to his new reality but also excelled in it.

Jeremy’s prowess in golf, a sport he loved, took on a new dimension as he began to compete as a blind golfer. With his father as his guide, he won the 2010 World Blind Golf Championship, a victory that marked the beginning of an illustrious career in the sport. He has since won three World Championships, nine National Championships, an Australian Blind Open, and an Italian Blind Open. His remarkable achievements in golf led CNN to call him the World’s best blind golfer. In 2011, he was honored as the San Diego Hall of Champions Challenged Athlete of the Year.

As a speaker, Jeremy Poincenot travels the world sharing his story, encouraging audiences to take control of their lives and view obstacles as opportunities. His approach is not just about promoting independence but highlighting the greater power of interdependence. His personal narrative, combined with wit and a strong inspirational message, has resonated with many.

Jeremy’s impact has been recognized widely. He has been featured on ABC’s 20/20, ESPN.com, CNN’s “Great Big Story,” and MTV’s True Life. His ability to connect with people has led him to speak for prestigious companies such as Aflac, Honda, John Hancock, Kaiser Permanente, and Wells Fargo.

Together We Are Limitless

I am not your ordinary motivational speaker. With a powerful personal narrative, a little wit and a strong inspirational message, I provide perspective to audiences and open their eyes to see the power of interdependence.

Although I cannot see my audiences, I can help them see how to effect change and positivity in their own lives. My mission is to help people suspend judgment and focus on the good. My objective is not to dictate how to succeed in life; I speak from experience to convince individuals that independence is good, while interdependence is great.

How will you find the power of interdependence in your life?

“Seeing the Power of Interdependence” Workshop

Jeremy has had the opportunity to speak to many audiences around the world and loves getting to inspire folks by sharing his story and making it relevant to them. While a keynote presentation is a great opportunity to expose the concept of interdependence to many people at one time, Jeremy has been asked if he could go deeper into the concept with smaller groups.

Jeremy is excited to offer a half-day workshop on “Seeing the Power of Interdependence”. In a workshop format, attendees can dive deeper into the concept of interdependence and work through how it applies to them and their lives, personally and professionally.

Key takeaways from the workshop:

  • Learning the importance of, and, feeling comfortable with asking for help

  • Understanding the value of interdependence, personally and professionally

  • Seeing the juxtaposition of asking for help and when we’re asked for our help
