Bill takes college students on the roller coaster ride of their lives by sharing about his personal ups and downs and the challenges and fears he pushed through to be successful.
In this program, students will discover that having fears and challenges are normal. The question they will deal with is how to deal powerfully with these situations.
Bill’s program inspires students to take on their fears. They will discover that friends, teachers, or even strangers can become part of their support system in achieving their goals. Students will realize that they have a voice and their voice matters, that any problem can be an advantage, and that anything is possible through perseverance and courage.

What are people saying about Bill’s programs?
Bill’s story is one that needs to be heard. To truly put you in another person’s shoes is one thing, but to hear Bill speak about the challenges he faced and the feelings he felt throughout his endeavor is revealing. It inspires others to be better people, whether it’s you who needs the encouragement to stand up for yourself or if you can be the champion to help another succeed. It’s with this true passion that Bill Deering inspires others to do more with what they have.
– Humberto Cerrillo, II, Advisor for Campus Programs, Eastern Washington University
Input received on program evaluations overwhelmingly confirmed that your presentation increased awareness about bullying and biases against people with disabilities. I personally found your message to be passionate and heartening. I am also amazed by the way you have overcome the speech difficulties that once created such a barrier for you. Your courage has touched the lives of many.
– Debbie Richards, Co-Chair, Social Justice Committee, West Virginia University
Mr. Deering’s presentation helped to empower these students to share their experiences with him and the rest of their classmates. As the program concluded and students were dismissed many students came to the front of the auditorium; I assumed to speak to Mr. Deering. Actually, students just wanted to shake his hand. In my 20 years of education it is the first time that I have seen students connect this way with a speaker.
