WCR Speaker - Paul Pilkinton

Today was our Womens Council of Realtors Business Resource meeting and luncheon. They always have such wonderful speakers. I wish all of my kids could have been there today, luckily Scott went, so he got to enjoy the feast both word and food with me.

Paul Pilkinton is the Weber State University Head Track Coach. He is a world class marathon runner and is the coach of Lindsey Anderson who is the olympic athlete from Morgan (she went to Morgan high with my daughter Kimberlee and was my youngest daughter Danielle's track coach at Morgan 2 years ago).

Paul talked about having a well thought out plan and goals. Also plan for if things change, worst case scenario, how you will handle situations if things change. Paul puts a statement on his mirror and repeats it aloud several times a day. His athletes all use this method also. The subconcious doesn't know truth from untruth, so he trains his subconcious to know that he is the best at whatever his goal is.

Paul was a paid athlete for many years along with having endorsements from several large athletic shoe companies. He held the worlds record in distance several times. He was a fantastic motivational speaker and very enjoyable to listen to.
