Quote: “Do what helps you to think straight, then you can start taking action.” Steve Judge How are you when something traumatic happens? Do you sit and wallow in self-pity? Do you spring into action right away? Or do you take some time, figure out how to proceed and move ahead carefully? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to welcome Resilience Expert Steve Judge to share the journey that took him from sitting in a wheelchair to standing on the stage as a keynote speaker and resilience coach. At the age of 28, a devastating car accident left Steve fighting to stay alive and, following life-saving operations, was subsequently told that he may never walk again. However, following a multitude of operations and intensive care from the NHS, he was able to progress forward. Not leaning on his excuses, he set goals, turning his excuses into challenges; he eventually learned to stand and walk again. Steve continued his journey, which took him from wheelchair to world champion in the sport of para-triathlon.
