A Toronto area screenwriter named Patricia Ellison attended one of my motivational personal growth talks recently and bought my book The Life Champion In You after the talk. I received a nice message from her this week and I thought that I would share it. Here’s what she wrote.
“I just finished reading your book! Thank you for it. The most important message I learned from it is your statement, ‘I will not let circumstances rule my life.’ It’s my new motto. I had a bad circumstance in my life last year, and it utterly consumed everything I did. I felt so stuck. But not anymore. I’m making my goals, as per your model, and will make my dreams come true. I admire your drive in the face of adversity! You’re are a fantastic role model Clint. Thank you.”

It’s always a great feeling when I know that my book has made a difference in somebody’s personal growth and life.
Just how motivated was Canada to win both the men’s and women’s Winter Olympics hockey gold medal? Here’s the back of the Canadian five dollar note I just pulled out of my wallet. Notice that we actually have kids playing hockey on our currency. That should answer the question! Ice Jerseys report that their different country team hockey jerseys are selling well.
As a self improvement author, I consider it important to always make time for my audience after talks. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, I always stay after presentations to chat with whoever wants to stick around for more interaction and conversation. Here is a shot from a recent motivational talk.
The Toronto Networking Meetings Group on LinkedIn will be hosting my ‘Life Champion In You’ motivational presentation on March 16 evening at 7 pm. This event will be at the North York Civic Ctr at 5100 Yonge St.
This presentation is based on my book of the same title which covers in part my own journey from personal tragedy to Karate World Champion and the universal lessons you can learn for your own life. This is the same talk about achieving success and overcoming life challenges that I do on a professional basis but for this evening, you can come hear it live for FREE.
If you are in the greater GTA area, I would like to invite you and your colleagues to this event. It will also be a great opportunity to network with other LinkedIn professionals as well.
The Toronto Networking Meetings Group does request that you RSVP EITHER through their LinkedIn Event or MeetUp Event systems (but not both). They will not admit anybody who did not RSVP.
You will also find more details about this event at either link.
The Winter Olympics episode of Clint Cora Motivational WebTV is up now. In this third episode, I talk about two stories from the recent 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics that really inspired me. I hope you don’t mind the goofy introduction but I’m just having some fun.
The two stories I will be referring to will be of Alex Bilodeau and his brother Frederic as well as Joanne Rochette. If you missed the actual performances of Alex or Joanne on TV, here are the links from CTV but I don’t know how much longer these video clips will be active – so see them ASAP or do search online if they pull the clips off.
Although I don’t go to Toastmasters clubs much anymore, I did attend a Mississauga Toastmasters club contest this morning. It was great to see familiar faces participating in the contest in some role as part of their self improvement.
Toastmasters is one of the best ways for self improvement in terms of communications skills. Of course, there are other venues that should be used as well for overall self improvement.
I entered a national TV contest at the urging of a friend and could use some support on this. They are accepting ratings and comments so I could really use some 5 stars plus some nice comments at the following webpage
I am now booking speaking dates for the fall semester for college university campus diversity programs. If you are with a college or university that would like to have a diversity speaker on campus next semester, my program which is called ‘Kick Down Diversity Barriers For Campus & Career Success’ is available. Video footage from past showcases, full description of this college campus diversity program as well as video comments from college students who have heard this program are at my website – just click on the in this post.
Here’s an article about the response of the Russian leaders to the less than stellar performance of the Russian team at the recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Personally, I think they are being too hard on their team. From what I’m reading, it’s all negative and nothing positive which is not the way to show leadership in my opinion. Of course, we might not know the whole story. I just hope the athletes are still congratulated for their efforts. True leadership is about supporting your people positively and helping them with areas of improvement in an encouraging way.
Now that I have launched seminar versions for both my motivational personal development and diversity programs, some might wonder what the difference is between them and my original keynotes.
The keynotes are great for learning and being entertained at the same time while the seminars offer much more discussion and group work activities that are not possible within a keynote presentation. The seminars involve real hands-on training complete with seminar guides participants work through.
