Keynotes

Keynote by Nick Prefontaine: Taking the first step, no matter how small, will allow the next step to become possible

In this keynote Nick shares his story of getting in a snowboarding accident when he was at ski club with his friends. Nick went off a jump, landed on his head and was in a coma for 3 weeks. Nick dosen 't really remember a month. While he was resting in a coma in the Intensive Care Unit the doctors shared with his parents that he probably wasn't going to be able to walk, talk or eat on his own ever again.

Once coming out of the coma Nick kept getting up every day and taking his next step. Unknowingly Nick utilized a system, the S.T.E.P. system to not only make a full recovery but run out of the hospital.

STEP stands for:
Support
Trust
Energy
Persistence

Each one of these has bullets and action items contained within that will help anyone to get through to the other side of their trauma and thrive with the rest of their lives. In this keynote Nick gets to teach the STEP system and give ways that the audience can apply it to their lives. He also shares a lot of funny stories from when he was in the hospital.

Bryan Thomas Pugh Executive Director, Brain Injury Association of Maryland

I met Nick about ten years ago and marveled at his determination to overcome challenges with his voice as the result of a snowboarding accident in 2003. We invited him to speak during our Dysphonia International Symposium on April 29, 2023 in the Detroit area. Nick is an excellent speaker who delivered an inspiring, motivating and entertaining speech. He told his personal story about surviving a snowboarding accident and how he had to learn to walk, talk and eat on his own all over again. He talked about using the S.T.E.P. system to instill the power of belief, support of family and the human spirit to conquer a traumatic situation. Nick is an engaging motivational speaker.

Charlie Reavis President, Dysphonia International

Nicks tells his story in both an informative and engaging way that keeps you on your toes. He speaks with such passion and encouragement that it gives listeners hope and motivation to keep going. His use of voices, facial expressions, and unexpecting sounds draw your attention and keep you wondering what is to come next.
