This year WaterAble are thrilled to have Mike Rolls speaking as part of their International Day for People with Disability celebrations.
Mike is someone who doesn’t just talk about resilience, he lives it, challenges it, and teaches it in ways that truly cut through the noise.
A double amputee, proud husband and father, and passionate advocate and mentor for others living with disability, Mike shares his extraordinary story of recovery and reinvention, helping us shift perspectives on our own challenges, reimagine what’s possible, and appreciate the profound power of adaptability, open-mindedness, and the questions we ask ourselves.
We’re looking forward to hearing Mike speak about his simple yet powerful philosophy, ‘Why Me? To What’s Next?’ the foundation of his work in helping individuals and organisations tap into and unlock resilience in both their personal and professional lives.
With a unique blend of dry wit, real-world pragmatism, and no-nonsense wisdom, he’s here to entertain, provoke, and inspire leaving you with practical tools you’ll actually use.
Join WaterAble online on 3 December 2025, from 10:30 am – 11:30 am, to celebrate International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) and continue raising awareness, understanding, and acceptance of the 5.5 million people with disability in Australia.
