SHIFTED (@getshifted)
My Dad’s birthday was yesterday (August 29th) and I didn’t get to talk to him until today, Monday, but I’m glad I did, because our conversation is entirely related to SHIFTED. Dad and I were reminiscing about the many times when I have faced defeat and what I have done in the face of adversity. One of those times was, as a matter of fact, having to rewrite my entire doctoral dissertation. FROM SCRATCH.
Quite obviously, I succeeded and I feel very blessed to have the PhD degree. And that’s what’s so fascinating about SHIFTED. When Nathan Tippe told me about the conference, I didn’t actually know that it was a showcase of stories of the good, the bad and the ugly. SHIFTED will showcase how the five presenters (one of them actually who is a good friend of mine, Andrea Baxter) shifted their thinking, confronted adversity and succeeded.
Our world loves to celebrate success, but all too often we focus only on the end result and forget about the challenging journey of choice it takes to get there.
Prepare to get SHIFTED. We’re exposing the gritty truth of achieving success. It’s all about the moments where hard decisions are made and fears are faced head on. These are the moments where we SHIFT into new possibilities and create change that takes us closer to our dreams and aspirations. SHIFTED highlights five people’s success stories – their entire stories, good and bad. They will courageously share their defining moments. Come ready to learn and be inspired. Leave knowing that the challenges you face may actually be the pathways to your own success.
You can follow @getshifted on Twitter and purchase tickets (whose proceeds will go 100% to imagine1day) online. SHIFTED takes place at District 319 (on 319 Main) on September 9th, 2010 at 6:00pm.
I look forward to hearing the stories of these entrepreneurs, CEOs and competitive sports-people. I hope you’ll attend too.
