Dustin Giannelli

From the eyes and ears of someone who is profoundly deaf, Dustin shares the importance of communication and accessibility in the workplace and beyond. Dustin believes these are the two keys to success in life and well-being.

Life isn't easy. And it's not supposed to be. Having a disability on top of that makes it even more challenging. How we adapt and overcome our every day challenges is what drives us to success. This keynote talks about "Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)", what it means and how to have it.

Dustin's life motto is "Be on offense". It derived from a story of when he attended Michael Jordan's summer basketball camp when he was 11-years-old. Yes, Michael Jordan. At this time, Dustin was 5-6 years new into being deaf. This motto has stuck with him for over 23 years.
