Niek van den Adel (Keynote speaker @Niek van den Adel)

Aged 28, Niek van den Adel takes a nosedive while riding his motorcycle. It causes paraplegia, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Plus, something extra: he has a syrinx, a cavity within the spinal cord that continuously threatens the body parts that do still work. According to Niek, paraplegia and a syrinx are the perfect combinations for only the most demanding guys. But as long as you can live with it, you’d better do so, he says. And in that case, you’d better do it well. Five years later, he is married to his occupational therapist, has become the dad of twins, has a house being built, delivers speeches to thousands of people as a coach and motivator, teaches senior-level executives about inclusivity and writes blogs and books. His motto: happiness is not in your legs. Happiness is a choice.
