Success One Stroke at a Time
Audiences Will Never Forget Her...
Kathleen Wilson is an extraordinary woman. At age 35, while a mother and professional musician, she took on the formidable task of moving from the safety of the pool to the danger of the open ocean as she became a champion long distance swimmer. Despite innumerable barriers to her progress, with great determination and organization, Kathleen achieved her goal of crossing the English channel in 2001. She continues to train and prepare for marathon swims to this day. Her stories are compelling and spellbinding and she is sure to inspire and motivate your audience into a higher level of commitment and perseverance.
"We have speakers here four times a month and Kathleen is truly extraordinary. Her wonderful stage presence, coupled with her mesmerizing storytellinga ability, make her exceptional and powerful. She spoke to a group of people who frequently interrupt, and instead with Kathleen, they were spellbound. Her inspiring message of succeeding later in life deeply impacted the audience. She handled them masterfully and they raved about her." --Beth Lewis, Advantage Coordinator, Roper and St. Francis Hospitals
Keynote Presentations
Steeler Determination: The Mindset of a Winner
Just like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kathleen used "Steeler Determination" to swim the English channel and survive the frigid open ocean. Audiences learn they absolutely can succeed, to become single-minded in their determination and to not quit--no matter what the obstacles.
Splitting Atoms: Unconventional Approaches to Success
Just like the unusual manner in which scientists discovered how to split atoms, Kathleen is an unconventional champion. With two diverse careers, she undertook the challenge of marathon swimming in her 30's, and overcame physical limitations and training completely alone, through her unusual approaches to success. Your audience will learn to think in new ways, and overcome difficulties with unconventional wisdom and thrive.
The Courage of Conviction
Opposition to success can take many forms--professional, political, and personal, and Kathleen encountered them all. It takes tremendous courage and conviction to keep going in spite of the challenges. It also takes a powerful game plan and methodology for success, one stroke at a time.
"Kathleen Wilson is a highly compelling speaker, with an incredible story. Her mixture of backgrounds of being an accomplished symphony harpist and a world class swimmer are fascinating. Unlike some champions who might be arrogant, Kathleen is warm and real, and comes straight from the heart. Her stirring message of setting a goal and determinedly achieving it, no matter what, gave this audience of seasoned business owners fresh ways to think about their lives." --Ken Thomason, President, A Wondeful Wedding
