Bold! by Greg Kolodziejzyk
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would have done anything to get it? And then, part of the way through your journey to get that thing, in the middle of all the suffering and the hell and everything going wrong, you ask yourself; "What on earth was I thinking?".
Sometimes, this is exactly what it takes to be the best in the world, or, the best in YOUR world. Greg's keynote speech titled "Bold!" is an impactful commentary about the kind attitude that it takes to accomplish a dream. According to Greg, when we are bold, and we bite off more than we can chew, this attitude toward accomplishing our goals leads us to being sufficiently excited and motivated about tackling this challenge and as a result, we end up investing the appropriate amount of energy into it. Anything less and we just don't care enough.
Greg's entertaining adventures, and "what was I thinking?" misadventures are based on his entrepreneurial AND athletic experiences. With the 45 minute Bold! presentation, Greg weaves the following key points into his stories.
- The important role of a strong, motivated VISION in accomplishing a goal
- Learning to view failure as aspect of success
- Dealing with thoughts of quitting
