When we held the Engage Today event, we expected that many of the top rated speakers would be the “big names” that were there.

I thought that people would rate Richard Branson, The Dalai Lama or some of the other globally recognized icons that presented as their favorite talks of the event.

But that’s not what happened.

In fact, the top rated speakers were people that you’ve likely never heard of .. and this just goes to show the power of great story telling, and of being truly authentic.

What it reminded me is that to be the Trusted Authority, you don’t need to be the household brand, or be known by millions of people.

You have to connect on a deep, emotional level with your audience.  You need to show them you care.  And you need to give them something to believe in. You need to add value.

I don’t think there was a better example of this than the talk that Sean Stephenson gave.

Sean is known as the “3 Foot Giant“, because he’s literally 3 feel tall.  Confined to a wheelchair and having endured more physical pain in his life than anyone can even imagine, you wouldn’t expect Sean to emerge as one of the top presenters at the event.

But he did, and you’re about to see why.

I hope that you truly enjoy this incredible 10 minute video showing Sean’s ability to tell a story, to show he cares, and to inspire you to take action and make a difference.
