Michael Phelps will walk in the pantheon of the Olympic
history as a hero that we will all look up and celebrate every time the conversation
goes at the direction of sports and the Olympics.
But his story is not all about roses, he too, in a recent
documentary, has a demon to conquer and needed the support of friends and
families in order to get back right on track.
In the events
industry, we can all learn and be inspired at what Michael Phelps has
accomplished.
We can learn from his perseverance, dedication and passion
for the craft that he loves. We all agree that where we are right now, in the
events industry, our love is immense.
If Michael Phelps enjoys the cheering and adulation of the
fans, we, at our industry, enjoy the tap on our shoulder, smiles on the faces
of our clients and the many thank you we are showered by our suppliers, staff
and clients.
We all can be Michael Phelps in our own little universe, and
if you think it is impossible, you can always look at Michael Phelps
achievement and great character to stir your dying embers, and get that prized
gold medal in our field – the event management industry.
