The NC community will have a chance to learn about the hero mindset and resilience from alumnus and Paralympian Kevin Rempel.
Hosted by the School of Business and Management, the virtual event will take place on March 28 at 9:30 a.m. It is open to all students, employees as well as alumni.
“I will be speaking with the students about how to become a hero in your own movie,” said Rempel. “It all begins with having the right mindset to overcome the adversity you’re facing.”
Rempel has become known for his hero mindset. He reinvented himself as an entrepreneur after a motocross accident left him as an incomplete paraplegic in 2006 and has since devoted his career to making the world a better place for people with disabilities.
The 2013 World Champion and 2014 Sochi Paralympic bronze medalist in sledge hockey, is an author, corporate motivational speaker, and Founder/CEO of The Sledge Hockey Experience. As a speaker, he has been inspiring audiences with his keynote on The Hero Mindset and coaches leaders using The Resilience Toolbox.
“After I came home from the Paralympics, everyone kept calling me a hero, and I didn’t see myself as a hero,” he recalled. “So when I thought about it, if people see me as a hero for all that I have accomplished and wanted to understand my mindset, that is how The Hero Mindset was born.”
The event will be held via Zoom. Those interested in attending may register at this link.
