"Never Underestimate the Power of the Human Spirit."
This blog post was inspired by the Olympics in Brazil. The Olympics are sell into its second week with over 11,000 athletes participating. Each one of those athletes has a story of how they got to the Olympics. Many of the stories are compelling and inspiring. All of them are unique. It is amazing to learn about some of the obstacles that have been overcome in order to achieve their goal of participating in the Olympics.
As I watched various events the past few days it struck me that everyone of those athletes are clear on their 'why'. They are crystal clear on why they do what they do. Understanding the why is so important to many of the things we do in our lives. This is certainly true of public speaking and presenting. If you are clear on why you want to be a better speaker and presenter then we can work on the how. Some may feel very strongly that they have a message that the world needs to hear. For others it could be about personal growth and development.
Once you know your why you can tap into the tremendous potential of the human spirit to make your goals happen.
Do you know your why?
