The Gift of Adversity - From Pain to Purpose

Published: July 31, 2018, 7:29 p.m.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson is a Keynote Speaker, TEDx Speaker, Author and Performance Mindset Coach to Executives, CEO’s, coaches and consultants.

While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed.

After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life but told him he'd never walk again.

Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul-searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury. Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen...

Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires and coaches others to overcome their own Adversities to actualize their personal definition of success.

His TEDx talk “The Gift of Adversity” tells of how we can use our Adversity to make us into better leaders, citizens, and human beings.
