Conference Speaker:
Bobby Smith, Ph.D.
Visions of Courage, Inc.
A world renowned international speaker who has spoken to over one million people, Bobby Smith's training seminar is a motivational tool that will make you laugh and cry while teaching you how to overcome adversity after traumatic events.
After being shot and blinded in the line of duty, Bobby Smith worked hard to receive his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology so he could share his hard earned lessons with everyone, in all walks of life. Whether they are troopers fresh out of training or veteran cops who have heard it all or an EMT who has seen too much, Bobby's stories and life lessons will change their lives. Learning to balance an emotional and time consuming career with a happy family life is incredibly difficult at the best of times. With Bobby at your side, he can show you the light in the darkness, and give you the tools to overcome the fears and traumas that consume so much of our lives.
