I was recently hired on as the Event Coordinator for the Trinity Western University 3rd Annual Entrepreneurial Forum in which Peter Legge was the guest speaker. Peter is an international best-selling author and speaker as well as the President and CEO of Canada Wide Magazines & Communications. Peter's speech was based on how to make your life a masterpiece, and was well received by an audience of 400 people. I was particularly motivated by Peter's segment regarding his personal Olympic dream. He wants to be the emcee for the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, but there is a glitch, he is not bilingual. This however, was just a technicality, and it didn't stop Peter from trying to reach his Olympic goal. He hired a producer and put together a video with him speaking English and his daughter speaking French. Peter presented the video to one member of the Olympic Committee and has been asked to present it to the rest of the committee. Peter and his daughter may be the first father/daughter team in history to open the Olympic Games. How's that for taking a negative and turning it into a positive? Talk about motivation!!
