Cam Calkoen - That Awesome Guy
Embrace your Awesome and exceed expectations
You know when you have an idea and you think, ‘I can do that.’ I inspire people to chase it, to dream even bigger and achieve more.
Inspirational Speaker
Small words inspire big actions!
Rather than seeing my unique speech as an impediment, I embraced it as an accent. Inspired by the greatest speakers of history and today, I’ve taken my message all around the world.
Social Entrepreneur
Learn from our experiences to move, connect and inspire others!
Instead of worrying about what people may think about me, I decided to give them things to think about, through mentoring, coaching and inspiring others.
Charitable Fundraiser
Living for a purpose bigger than self!
Instead of worrying about what I didn’t have, I was inspired to see what I could offer others. Building capital and relationships that then made a world of difference for many.
Athletic Gold Medalist
The reasons for saying YES are often way more awesome than the perceptions for saying no!
Rather than worrying about the way I walk, I chose to be inspired by the world’s greatest athletes. I became a full-time athlete, winning medals worldwide for sprinting, before summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Cam Calkoen’s life has been his version of “normal” since birth. Born with cerebral palsy, Cam was determined to take life in whatever direction he chose.
He chose to leave his comfort zone, and do two things doctors said he would never be able to do: running and speaking. Through embracing his awesomeness, Cam didn’t just do them, he smashed them! Now he delivers a powerful and unique message to audiences worldwide.
“Cam’s unique message inspires people to believe things are possible way beyond their thinking”.
