Nick says his involvement in a serious motorbike accident was the best and the worst thing to happen to him. Left with an horrific string of injuries, and a slow and painful recovery, Nick knew he was lucky to survive. But he says it also gave him a new perspective on where he’d been going wrong in the past and how, given this second chance, he’d be the husband and father he truly wanted to be. Through grit and perseverance, Nick not only recovered; he reinvented himself. He’s evolved from a reluctant worker to a motivated company director and employer – all while managing the disabilities he’s lived with before and after his accident. Be prepared to be inspired.
