Taking Your Kryptonite and Transforming It into Your Superpower
June Scharf |
TEDxAkron
• April 2018
When life presents seemingly insurmountable challenges, how do you push back and overcome them? June offers a road map using her own experiences as guideposts. She had a stroke when she was 10 years old, paralyzing her dominant right side and forcing her to become left handed and navigate life with a tremor. She shares the life challenges she has experienced and delivers examples of how to handle a new normal. The setbacks served as springboards for adaptation, though they also presented pain and frustration.
With a persistent tremor, what is still possible? She demonstrates how boundaries can be stretched by entering a bodybuilding competition, performing stand-up comedy and...revealing her truth in a TEDx Talk. But if she could be cured, would she get in line for that treatment? The answer lies in her talk.
