  • We were absolutely thrilled to have Aaron Baker as the keynote speaker at the Saber Annual Leadership Meeting.  From the moment he took the stage, it was clear that his presence and message would leave a lasting impact on our attendees. With a unique blend of passion, insight, and authenticity, Aaron captivated the audience with a powerful presentation that resonated with our healthcare leaders. His presentation of “Rise Together” was not only thought-provoking but also actionable and gave us a renewed sense of purpose.  Aaron’s ability to share personal stories created a connection with the audience that was both inspiring and empowering.  Our leaders have the distinct privilege of caring for the most vulnerable patients (and their families) and to hear Aaron’s perspective of being a patient provided us a new, fresh perspective.  The feedback from our attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many remarking how Aaron’s message helped them see their leadership potential in a new light. We are deeply grateful for Aaron’s contribution to the success of the Saber Annual Leadership Meeting and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.  Thank you for sharing your expertise and inspiring us to be better leaders!

  • On behalf of the Permobil Foundation, I want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your outstanding keynote speech at our recent Roll the Dice fundraising event. Your powerful words and inspiring story touched our hearts and resonated deeply with everyone present, making the event truly unforgettable. I am not lying when I say, that you gave my favorite speech I have heard in my 8 years at Permobil!  YOU NAILED IT!

    —Ashley​​​​ Davis, Executive Director Permobil Americas

  • We were privileged to have Aaron join us for 15 sessions of our Culture of Caring at Providence St. Joseph Hospital. His story of resilience, hope, gratitude, human connection, and passion for living each day to the fullest inspired our team of over 2,300 caregivers and physicians. We have all been challenged the last few years through the pandemic, but to hear Aaron’s “Rebellious Recovery” ongoing for over 23 years inspired us all to fill our hearts with more gratitude and seek ways to help on another and push ourselves. It was great having him join us before each session and comfortably stay after to meet and talk with as many of our caregivers as possible. On a side note, I had a chance to mountain bike with him, his determination and joy for being outdoors is inspiring and pushes me to put in some extra hill work as well!

    —Jeremy Zoch, CEO

  • We were fortunate to have Aaron share his story and a generous dose of inspiration at our recent leadership gathering. Everyone was entranced with his story and deeply moved by the compelling wisdom he shared. Our team was excited to chat with him afterwards and appreciated how open and kind Aaron was. There was great symbolism in his personal stories that could be metaphorically applied to our leadership and business development journey. Aaron’s will to overcome and put mind over matter when facing the most difficult challenges one could possibly face left us feeling inspired and motivated to get to work in both our personal and professional lives. We’ll be living by this mantra for a while: “You don’t have to. You get to.”

    —Stefan Kozak, CEO

  • “Aaron is one of those people who lights up the room as soon as they enter. He’s been through incredible challenges, yet exudes pure positivity and drive. We’ve worked together for years, sharing the stage at fundraising events, corporate meetings, you name it…his partnership and story-telling have been invaluable.”

    —Andrew Wagner, CEO of Wings for Life USA

  • "Aaron Baker was the kickoff we needed for our BLaST IU 17 2023 Paraprofessional Conference. His message was inspirational, relatable, and enjoyable. Aaron was easy to work with. He not only took the time to customize the presentation to our audience but also allowed time for question and answer at the end. This made him feel even more accessible and down to earth. We highly recommend Aaron for your next speaking event."

    —Dana Vermilya, Training and Consulting

  • “We were fortunate enough to have Aaron come onsite to our company to speak to our employees. Our company's core values are beauty, freedom and being frictionless. These values not only extend to our products, but also to our people and how we interact in our professional and personal lives. Aaron is a natural ambassador to these values and having him speak about his experiences and beliefs was not only touching, but inspiring as well. Aaron does not just speak about his experiences, but he teaches principles and life skills by story-telling. He is motivational and energetic. The take away from this experience was far beyond my expectations and I am still hearing positive feedback from our employees a week later. So grateful for that experience and so grateful that Aaron has chosen to help others along in their own personal and professional journeys.”

    —Candice Law, HR Coordinator

  • “I’ve worked with Aaron in a few capacities: as a spokesperson, advocate and consultant. He brings incredible energy, enthusiasm and positivity on an awe-inspiringly consistent basis. He is professional, responsive and approaches his work with a can-do attitude.”
