Todd Keirstead - "My scars tell a story"

What if your job required you to be outside every single day? And the more successful you were, the more sun exposure you got.And then one day, it all comes crashing down with three dreaded words: ‘You have cancer.’Not just anywhere—but on the one place that is your identity, your brand, on your face.This is the story of our guest’s journey through 9 facial reconstructive surgeries to rid him of skin cancer. A story that goes beyond the physical scars and into the emotional toll—of having to show your face to the world, and fearing their reaction.With a newfound respect for the power of the sun’s rays, he’s dedicated his life to raising awareness; to helping others learn from his scars. And that’s only part of his journey. Because he also carries a unique tattoo on his forearm, a reminder of another life-defining moment.This is a story of resilience, vulnerability, and the marks—both seen and unseen—that shape who we are.Send us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become. Drawing on years of experience leading, guiding, and mentoring teams, Lesley brings authenticity, curiosity, and heart to the conversation as each interaction is an opportunity to define what truly matters.One question.
