Perspective

My dad was a pastor and cheated on my mom.
She committed suicide.
He died of cancer.

We all face challenges. What we do with them determines who we become.

The story of your life is being written every day whether you know it or not. The question is, who’s in control of it? There’s a good chance your story has been written without you having much say in the matter! However, what’s happened in the past doesn’t have to define the future. You can determine how the rest of your story reads!

Life rarely gives us what we hope for; however, I believe we have two choices. The first is to let circumstances define us, the second is to do exactly the opposite. I believe you can take control of your life no matter what your “everyday” looks like.

In this perspective shifting motivational talk, Chris breaks down the popular concept from his recent book, Step, called the “Proverbial Mile.” He describes how the mile stands between:

A person and their dreams...

A business and its objectives...

An organization and its mission...

Chris shatters the illusion the mile projects in our heads by practical advice on how to look at the mile in a different way. Audiences walk away from this talk ready to take immediate action in their lives, businesses, and organizations.
