How has your business changed in the past 12 months?
Mr. Hingson has seen a rise in speaking engagements as the pandemic has lessened. We also have helped some AT products come to market.
Describe a Failure in your Career
The first company I formed while productive was not profitable. I learned a lot about how better to manage people and work better as a team. After four years I sold the company, not at a profit, and went back into the workforce. This occurred between 1985 and June 1989.
What about your company makes you the most proud
Today I speak world wide and am recognized as I was when invited to submit this application by John Visser. Also, some innovative assistive products were brought to the blindness market through our efforts.
How do you motivate people to give their best?
I lead by example and use my WTC survival story as my guide to encourage others.
