Born without arms, John Foppe has had to break down and re-engineer every aspect of day-to-day life. He learned that the inability to do something didn't rest on the lack of resources or vision - it's the emotional reaction to meeting an obstacle, even a small one, head on. In the field as part of his master's degree in social work, John Foppe saw this scenario play out over and over. To his surprise, he discovered that some people are not willing to continue their improvement and instead have built systems supporting their perceived limitations.

Born without arms, John Foppe has had to break down and re-engineer every aspect of day-to-day life. He learned that the inability to do something didn’t rest on the lack of resources or vision – it’s the emotional reaction to meeting an obstacle, even a small one, head on.
In the field as part of his master’s degree in social work, John Foppe saw this scenario play out over and over. To his surprise, he discovered that some people are not willing to continue their improvement and instead have built systems supporting their perceived limitations.
As a speaker, John also witnessed this resistant mindset operate in all sorts of companies. He repeatedly heard leaders complain about how difficult it is to motivate their people. John has addressed this challenge by developing a variety of solutions to effectively translate visions into outcomes. Among John Foppe’s answers, he has devised an approach he calls the “Ellipse,” a specific set of practices which mobilize one to navigate problems and maintain the vision – to get results.
His compelling story and methods caught the attention of the legendary Zig Ziglar, who broke his long-standing rule of promoting from within and recruited and mentored John.
In 1995, John Foppe launched a successful training business that has taken him training business that has taken him to over 15 different countries. He is the author of What’s Your Excuse?, which has been translated into six foreign languages.
John Foppe’s insights on how the biggest vision can be derailed by the smallest bit of resistance are now being used to orchestrate the missions of visionaries and change agents around the world.
