Lee Shelby | Motivational Speaker Lee Shelby is a bi-lateral below elbow amputee. Lee lost both hands just above the wrist in an electrical accident that occurred on August 12, 1991, while working for Memphis Light, Gas & Water. Lee currently wears body powered prosthetics which now take the place of both hands. Lee is a husband, a father of three children, and a grandfather. Lee’s story about his accident on that dreadful day, the lack of personal safety that resulted in the accident, the struggles that he has had to overcome, and his willingness to fight the challenges of his disability make his presentation inspirational to any workforce.
“As a safety professional, I know that you can have all the safety procedures in place and still have accidents. Employees need to understand WHY they are important. Seeing their response to Lee’s presentation showed me that ‘making it personal’ with personal stories like his will have an impact. I will strive to do more to make it personal.” Safety Engineer BP Oil
