Episode #54 - Lost At Sea, Kicked & Punched, But A Motivator: An Interview With Len Tran

Being able to rise from the different challenges in life, whether they are brought on by ourselves or from unknown sources/circumstances, can put a negative type of energy into our body. However, what if we used that energy in a completely positive way to help create systemic value for not only our lives, but for the lives of others? Continuing our month of celebrating Toastmasters making a positive contribution, today's guest, Len Tran, shares his captivating story of escaping communism to create a opportunity for himself and his family. Through his 2nd chance by arriving in the United States of America, Len shares how being a good listener and keeping our thoughts in motion constantly of how we can improve can change everything we think about our lives, even if we do not use our "kicking and punching" powers physically, but use them mentally, to focus and gain clarity through those extremes.Guest BioLen Tran is the founder of Kinetic Mind LLC, a coaching and training company helping individuals increase their productivity results.
