Rebecca Alexander combines rare personal resilience with professional expertise as a psychotherapist, author and disability rights advocate navigating progressive deafness and blindness due to Usher syndrome type III. Her memoir "Not Fade Away: A Memoir of Senses Lost and Found" chronicles her extraordinary journey and is currently being adapted into a major motion picture. As an extreme athlete, she has summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, swum from Alcatraz to shore, and competed in challenging races.
Rebecca helps organizations transform perspectives on adversity by demonstrating how limitations can become catalysts for innovation and growth. Her unique insights on interdependence rather than independence challenge conventional thinking about disability, while her mental health curriculum provides practical frameworks for workplace inclusion and resilience building.
Audiences leave Rebecca's presentations with actionable strategies for embracing vulnerability as a leadership strength, practical approaches to building resilience through humor and community, and renewed perspective on how perceived limitations can become unexpected advantages. Her blend of professional expertise and lived experience creates memorable, perspective-shifting moments.
Book Rebecca to give your audience the rare combination of emotional inspiration and practical tools that drive meaningful organizational change.
