When Things Get Hard, Keep Going

At Pithy Wordsmithery, we love all of our clients, but we have a special spot in our heart for this one.

Let me paint a picture for you. You’re an athlete, you’ve married your college sweetheart, you’re building the house of your dreams, and creating the life of your dreams. Then one day, you get into a horrible accident, fall on your head, break your neck, and find yourself paralyzed. The picture I just painted is the life of motivational speaker and author, Rick Werry.

Rick has been on an incredibly difficult journey, and now he’s sharing his story to help inspire other people who are going through hard times. Life isn’t always easy, but Rick shows how to persevere.

Rick enjoys speaking with all kinds of audiences, but he especially loves talking with young people. If you know of any speaking opportunities that might be a good fit for Rick, let us know! We truly believe in the impact he’s making in the world and we can’t wait to see where the journey takes him.
