What is the greatest adversity you have faced? How did you get
through it and what happened afterward?
In this episode of the 10 Factor guest Marcus
Aurelius Anderson takes us through his own personal adversity and
comeback journey. Then we fast forward to today and how
he speaks, writes, inspires and coaches others to overcome
their own Adversities to actualize their personal definition of
success.
Marcus Aurelius Anderson is an
author, Keynote Speaker, TEDx Speaker and executive Mindset
Coach.
While preparing to deploy with the U.S.
Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left
him paralyzed.
After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved
his life, but told him he'd never walk again.
Having no other option, Marcus started doing some
brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be
learned from his injury.
Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a
curse, something miraculous began to happen...
Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires and coaches others to
overcome their own Adversities to actualize their personal
definition of success.
His TEDx talk “The Gift of Adversity” tells of how we can use
our Adversity to make us into better leaders, citizens and human
beings.
