  Persevere Past Your Paralysis

  Jun 2009 - Present - Gallatin, Tennessee

  I work with people to overcome adversities and persevere past their own paralysis. Here the term "paralysis" is not necessarily meaning unable to move the body or parts of the body, but used for whatever is holding someone from accomplishing their goals.Recommendations:Dr. Perdue delivers with humility, humor and gratitude awe-struck people want to hear more from the man. James' wit engages audiences as they hear his inspirational story. He strips away excuses for anyone not achieving goals. He is truly an advocate for "wheelchair people" whose legs are handicapped not their brains! ---Jane G. Marshall, DTM Tennessee Storytelling Association BoardDr. Perdue's message, his wisdom, and his gut honesty about life has helped future teacher be more aware of the needs of the populations that they will be serving. His approach to a very sensitive subject puts his audience at ease while at the same time opening up the communication between the audience and himself. The best part is his story is it is still unfolding. I can't wait to look back in ten years to see where he is then. ---Dr. Andrew Bruce Battles Historian Researcher James, thank you for the inspiring speech you gave to the Young at Heart.
