What have I become? A motivational speaker?
Posted In: Me October 16th, 2013 divider No Comments »It sure seems that way…
With my humble travels over the past few weeks it has me thinking about what I’ve become. This is quite debatable but for the most part all I do these days is to try to get people to do simple things.
Whether I’m teaching ChiRunning or some professional workshops on social media or online engagement, it’s the same. It’s not rocket science for the most part but most people need some poking and prodding to get started.
Change is not easy and it gets easier with some advice and encouragement. And I’m more than happy to provide just that. I just try to help people build skills so they can build their confidence. Then the rest is easy.
One of the most rewarding things for me is getting word from one of my workshop participants that my preaching has really stuck and has helped them along the way. It’s worth all the gold in the world!
I’ve always wanted to do a bit more public speaking but I also don’t see myself becoming one of those people on stage telling you to awaken the giant within (there’s already Anthony Robbins doing that). But who knows anymore…

I’m just back from a spot on CTV Morning Live about it so for those in Ottawa, don’t forget tonight’s Amazing People Gala Kickoff Party at the CTV Studios downtown. It will be fun and a great cause. What else are you gonna do for fun in this dreary weather?
Here are all the details from the SchoolBOX site.
