The Language Barrier that Breaks Fear | Josh Stinton | TEDxColumbiana
My talk will invite audiences to introduce more "why not" into their lives and give practical steps to overcoming obstacles keeping us from where we want to be. Using stories from wild adventures, including mountain unicycling and getting invited to be the Australia Team Captain for the Hide and Seek World Championships, my talk is at the crossroads of humor and —let's go for it! Josh Stinton is an adventurer with a mission to help others redefine what they believe to be possible - and give practical tips on the behaviors needed to reach their goals. A former Management consultant at KPMG, Josh has become a successful keynote speaker whose extreme personal feats (like biking across the Atlantic and other original challenges) have yielded treasures of insight into the mechanics of change, innovation, and unexpected tips to crush your personal limitations. Josh doesn't just motivate—he moves people. His storytelling hits with humor, heart, and precision, inviting audiences to question the assumptions that quietly hold them back. Josh works from a single question: What if we stopped asking “Can we?” and started asking “Why not?"
