I’m Britten Schenk

Survivor and Motivational Speaker

Watch in Action

Know Your Worth

Rise Up

Elevate Yourself

Do you relate to any of these statements?

  • Your life seems too challenging.
  • Obstacles left and right are pulling you down.
  • You feel you are not valuable in any life circumstance.
  • You are drowning in school or work

If you feel that any of those relate to you:

Let me tell you something…you are not the only one! Hundreds of thousands of people are feeling the same thing. The problem is that most don’t know how to rise up and transform their stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

After my life-threatening accident in 2012, I went through a 10-year journey of trial and error, learning, researching and adapting. I discovered the R.I.S.E. approach. By learning and implementing those 4 steps, I found not only how to be successful in life, but how to love life despite any challenge.

The R.I.S.E. Approach

With you knowing how to implement each step, you will be able to rise above and beyond anything that might come your way.

Self-Empowerment

Too many people are controlled by the world around them, which ends up controlling their entire life. Instead, they need to elevate their true self and control their life, which can make a positive impact on the world around them. I share the 4 step process on how to be in charge of your destiny and to have a healthy and successful life.

"It was electrifying, inspiring and uplifting! The room was spellbound and riveted on every word he spoke."

Live Life to the Fullest

Life is short! Don’t save up all of your money to enjoy the last few years of your life. Obviously be strategic and wise with your money, but always remember: “Happiness is the destination, but it is also the path” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf). No one knows which day will be your last, and with me sharing my story and my 5 learning lessons, you will be able to know how to live your life to the fullest!

"He engaged every person in the crowd and drew out their own desires to become better. In the end, it checked all the boxes, and then some!"

A Survivor becomes an Inspirational and Motivational Speaker

My life changed forever after I was walking across a street and was hit by a bus. I was not supposed to survive. Not only was I battling pneumonia, a respiratory virus and diabetes insipidus, but I also did not have any blood or oxygen supply to my head for almost 3 days. Although I miraculously survived, I had many more challenges I had to face, and some of which were much more difficult than what I experienced in the first month (to learn more about my story, click “Read My Story” below). With my journey being flipped 180 degrees, I had to learn how to adapt in life, live life to the fullest, and love life despite my challenges.

While I was trying to figure out my life, I was asked to speak at many events about my story and how I overcame so many challenges. Speaking started to become my passion, not only because I had inspired and motivated many people but because it also helped me love my new life and continue to become a better person.
