Life coach and speaker gives motivational talk.
In the first of the webinar series for 2021, on 24 February, Dr Alex Granger asked the more than 340 alumni attendees to consider the Choluteca Bridge in Honduras. It is situated in an extreme weather zone built to withstand the worst of mother nature’s onslaughts. In 1988 it withstood Hurricane Mitch – the second-deadliest Altantic hurricane on record — while other infrastructure was devastated and over 11 000 fatalities were recorded. Dr Granger – considered one of the top leadership coaches and speakers — asked what the point of an unbreakable bridge was, that lead nowhere. Although a great landmark, the bridge offered a metaphor for what happens when one fails to adapt to life’s “changing currents”. He said the COVID-19 pandemic illustrated the need to adjust to change with flexibility in all areas.
