In this session, Jim Platzer transports you to the world he experiences each day. Through his story, Jim conveys a message of self-empowerment that can change how you perceive and react to personal and organizational challenges. This session is sponsored by the TTI Family of Specialists. As the former president of a high-volume distribution facility for a Fortune 200 company, Jim was forced into an early retirement due to retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic degenerative disease that leads to blindness. During a challenging transition, Jim focused on knocking down barriers that blocked his future success. One of those barriers was his mobility. He turned to Leader Dogs for the Blind, who matched him with a dog and trained him to experience the world in an entirely new way.
