Robert Pio Hajjar was born to be a Champion and is dedicated to his calling. A gifted, charismatic speaker, he makes a difference in the world by celebrating life in a way that motivates others to realize their dreams. His dream is of an inclusive society that recognizes the diverse talents and abilities of all members and values difference as a resource that enriches the whole. He believes love, encouragement, and opportunity bring out the best in an individual, which in turn builds a stronger society and a better world.

Traveling widely, Pio Hajjar spreads his message of hope and inspiration. He has presented to more than 550,000 people in 100 cities throughout North America. Listening to him, you understand the importance of making the most of your life, regardless of obstacles imposed by the misinformed. He inspired the I Can, You Can Program that is being rolled out in the Thames Valley District School Board and is quick to point out, “The cards that were dealt to me in life are not as important as how I play them. I love my life.” He plays his hand like a true champion, raising his voice against the injustice of exclusion and advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Pio Hajjar's first book, "I Love My Life," is available. More remarkable than his accomplishments is the person he is.
