You CAN find courage, embrace your value, and defy fear. If you want to feel inspired and motivated to accomplish your dreams, goals, and desires, come hear from Dr. Nancy!
Rebekah Trittipoe is an 8-time author and speaker. Her life exemplifies focus, motivation, endurance, and perseverance. After a three-year stint as a high school teacher and coach, she furthered her studies at The Ohio State College of Medicine, School of Allied Health Professions to gain the proper education setting her up for a 25-year career inside the walls of cardiac surgery operating rooms. She quickly rose to multiple national leadership positions within the American Society of Extracorporeal Technology, culminating in becoming the National Manager of Continuing Medical Education. This role offered many opportunities to provide instruction and a call to excellence from platforms worldwide.
After retiring from the medical field, Rebekah authored 8 books, started a blog, and continues to impact audiences in a variety of venues: schools and universities, athletic departments, coaches, athletes, faith-based groups, and industry. She uses stories from medicine and her 50 year athletic career to inspire and motivate audiences to become better people because better people make better anythings.
