Martin Latulippe
Living The ZEROLIMIT Attitude
(French) Martin decided to pursue his dream of becoming a professional speaker and author in the fields of inspirational leadership and human potential after a brush with death while captain of the Canadian university men’s hockey team at the 2001 Universiade in Zakopane, Poland. After his throat was slashed by a skate, he escaped with his life by just a few millimetres. To this day, Martin is one of the only professional speakers in Canada to have had the gumption – or been crazy enough – to enter the industry right out of university, without a penny to his name, and with no credibility or experience, to quickly establish himself as one of the most sought-after experts of his generation. |
