I recently went to speak at a local Highschool, ODSS. It has been a while since I've stepped inside one. Big change, yet still the same. I was asked to help in a mentorship program by a coaching service, The Entrepeneur's Source, that helps individuals explore self-employment options. I actually did not go in to speak of my company but of my past sports experience in gymnastics. I was on the Canadian National Womens Gymnatics team about 18yrs ago, and gave the kids the insight, (hopefully), on what it takes to be an athlete or a coach, or anything they really desire in life. I find it interesting when asked to do things like this because you find that it reminds you where you have been and where you are now, and what you have done to get this point in life, and it gives you your own sense of empowerment when trying to empower others.
As a friend quoted"Fail Often, Fail Fast, Fail Cheap". Jim's CEO Blog-Time Leadership. I like this because if you don't fail, it means you have nothing to learn from, just learn fast or it will cost you!
