Brian Wagner
Motivational Speaker at A Radical Vision
Inspirational Speaker - Employee retention, Blindspots, Vision
Embrace diversity. Build high-performance teams by leading people that are different from you. 

When's the last time you had a review and you walked out concentrating on the negative and not the positive? If you could just improve in that one area, I'd be a rock star! 

What if you flipped that and looked at what you could improve in your strong areas? 

I love to help people see things that they should be seeing. This allows them to unlock their full potential and begin to live their life on purpose.

My mission is to help people embrace their own personal blindness to achieve a greater vision. The process takes people from a point of blindness, into sight, and toward a greater vision.   

I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio as the son of a tomato farmer and the youngest of 10 kids. In 1977, at the age of 10, I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a brain malformation. Over the course of the next 33 years I experienced several instances of medical issues resulting from this diagnosis. 

On March 4th of 2011, I woke up blind. 

Only brain surgery and multiple eye surgeries have allowed a portion of my sight to return.

Since then, I have become an author of the semi-autobiography book "Sometimes It DOES Take a Brain Surgeon".

Following surgery, I've realized that I have blind spots that have nothing to do with my vision. My speaking engagements have allowed me to help other people see and eliminate their blind spots, with the help of a letter from my daughter. Participants in my program have also embraced what makes them unique as they have "winked with Wagner". Lastly their vision, preferred future, has come into clear focus. 

I use my experiences to help the audience to improve their sales, leadership, and lives by teaching them how to see what they're missing as a result of their own blindness. 

My unique process takes people from Blindness to Sight to Vision. This can be found in my book, which you can find here. https://www.aradicalvision.com/store/

Creator
A Radical Vision, Mission Statement - it took a crippling disease for us to understand that we had no vision.  Losing our sight allowed us to gain vision.  That was the greatest gift that's ever been given.  We can't hide from our adversity.  Our goal is to help others to recognize their adversity, go blind and gain vision.  This happened to us and now we want to help others have the same focus.
