Meet Bill Cawley

One August day in 1992, Bill Cawley learned exactly what it's like to have your world change forever.

An afternoon of summer fun with friends quickly became a day of tragedy.

Three seconds after diving off a dock on the New Jersey shore, Cawley became a quadriplegic -- paralyzed from the chest down, with no feeling, movement or function below his chest.

Doctors broke the news to Cawley that he would be dependent on others for the rest of his life, and that it was time to "be more realistic" about his dreams of a successful career and a family.

Cawley refused to follow that advice, of course. Instead, he developed a philosophy -- "Life On Your Terms" -- which he now shares with audiences as a public speaker, and with individuals in one-on-one coaching sessions.

Cawley believes that we all face challenges -- some (like his) visible, and others that are invisible. He has developed some empowering strategies for overcoming those obstacles and achieving success and fulfillment, and his greatest satisfaction comes in sharing the message that you really CAN live "Life On Your Terms."

Bill Cawley is a motivational speaker, life coach, business coach and consultant based in Wilmington, Delaware. Cawley recently established his own consulting firm after serving as an Executive Vice President for Bank of America.

Cawley also supervises the activities of "Family and Friends Curing Paralysis," a non-profit organization which he founded. Cawley has inspired thousands of individuals with his powerful message.

Over the past several years, Cawley has been featured on numerous radio and television broadcasts throughout the U.S. and Canada, and spoken to live audiences throughout the northeastern U.S.

Bill! Congratulations to you on this amazing forum you have created! As you know, I have always admired everything about you as we worked together so many times during our corporate life together for so many years at MBNA. You are truly inspiring, and though I have known many things others - many others - are still and perhaps only now - finding out about you, you continue to amaze me!

Not only what you are doing so very important, it is obvious that your penchant for high standards, great passion, 'from-the-heart'communication and superb organization of what you want to say, are all unto themselves inspiring!

I intend to read regualrly your e mails, the website topics and your blog! As I said in my e mail to you, I intend (when I have something to add) to write on the blog too!

My hats off to you and wish you much success in helping make many achieve success to which we all aspire!

Great work, Bill!
