New Book "Overcoming Obstacles and Getting Extraordinary Results" Comes Out December 13!

Zig Ziglar says it best: “It’s not where you start but how you finish that counts.” Every day, I strive to do my best in making this the motto of my personal and professional life. I have been totally blind since infancy, and as a result, I have dealt with everyday obstacles and overcoming the challenges of life we all experience, but in my own way. I often hear from others that “Blake is an overcomer.” I am humbled by that and want to share some of the stories and lessons I learned in overcoming obstacles. I am fortunate to have overcome many of the unique obstacles of my life in fascinating ways, which can stimulate life-changing improvements for all people.

In my new book, Overcoming Obstacles and Getting Extraordinary Results, set for release December 13, 2022, my dad has helped me summarize learning points from each true life story that I believe will help you in your own true life story. My dad has been an educator for 62 years, and with his help we have added a simple self-assessment which will absolutely inspire improvement on several levels. You’ll read life stories, gain important take-aways, take an assessment, and learn how to face your fears, lead with confidence, and much more on your path to getting extraordinary results.

If you are a leader looking to inspire others facing obstacles, I encourage you to read this book. Overcoming Obstacles and Getting Extraordinary Results is more than a book of life-giving, heart-tugging stories. It is a celebration of facing and overcoming obstacles every day with a heart filled with gratitude. Hidden in plain sight are nuggets of wisdom that will inspire leaders to lead with greater compassion and employees to find greater joy on the job. As the Ambassador of Envision Dallas, one of the largest employers of people who are blind and visually impaired in America, I believe my new book will inform and inspire you to become an overcomer for life.
