General Meeting - Paula Todd - A Quiet Courage
Description
Topic: A Quiet Courage
What makes some people extraordinarily successful?
When Paula Todd first sought out interview subjects for her new biography program, she hoped to profile successful people from all walks of life and document the secrets of their achievement. She was startled to discover that the key to triumph was often tragedy.
Based on Paula Todd's widely viewed television show Person 2 Person on TVO, and her book , A Quiet Courage, Paula Todd shows us that it is often ordinary people who have something extraordinary to teach us. She will share compelling stories of how some people are able to survive the unimaginable - and thrive afterwards.
