Synopsis

If you lost your sight, how would you tap into your vision?

Lex Gillette was seven when his eyesight challenges became increasingly severe. By the time he was eight, he was living in complete darkness. He never would have imagined that this perceived limitation would spark a deeper vision, enabling him to accomplish feats he never thought possible.

A world record–holder in long jump and five-time Paralympic Games silver medalist, Lex has shown the world that vision—the kind that provides direction and inspires innovative thinking—unlocks the achiever and leader within. In No Need for Sight When You Have a Vision, Lex reveals the steps he’s taken to see beyond reality, face challenges, and surpass expectations, including his own. From the C-suite to the classroom, you’ll learn how to embrace your individual journey, eliminate negative thinking, and strategize for the present and future with goals only you can truly see. The path forward is filled with opportunities for growth. This book is your chance to develop a new perspective, maximize potential, and turn the impossible into temporary barriers that you can, and will, overcome.
