Synopsis

Neither childhood sexual assault, a seemingly debilitating speech impediment, bullying, or bearing witness to drug and alcohol addiction within his family resulted in total defeat for the author of this gripping and frankly transparent literary offering that combines the power of testimony with carefully crafted lessons. Author, speaker, and coach practitioner, Cory George, raises the stakes for the reader to make the life-changing decision to reconcile their past hurts and to recognize and accept the valuable life lessons that will ultimately lead to better life choices. If you are tired of SITTING and continually accepting consequences related to past decisions and stuck in a continuous loop of pain, negative consequences based on bad choices, and wondering how to make sense of it all then Sit or Stand 2.0 offers, from a coach's perspective, a playbook of tried-and-true techniques that will assist you in four critical areas of situation resolution: Acceptance, Forgiveness, Reconciliation, and Retention and Application of Wisdom. In addition, you will come to further understand how pain, adversity, and trials can be transformed into PURPOSE and PASSION.

This highly-relatable and highly-palatable "problem resolution guide" helps to build confidence and effective communication skills by stressing the importance of understanding who you are before you are able to translate your desires to others. In addition, lessons in understanding and creating realistic expectations and understanding the importance of a healthy support system allows the reader the opportunity to fortify themselves from the outside. Finally, George empowers the reader by making clear that we all have the ability to positively affect the life of someone else. You are taught how to give positive value to every adversity that you will overcome. Your current and future relationships will become more meaningful and intentional. Your dreams will be transformed into realistic and attainable goals, and you will be able to balance confidence and courage with humility and grace as you are urged to pay it forward. You are challenged to find the courage to not only break the chains of a hostile past but to also walk into a life whereby more positive chances are taken and, in return, share the lessons of faith, reconciliation, and excellence with someone else.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Neither sexual abuse, low self-esteem, abandonment, nor living within reach of drug addiction has managed to calm the fire that lives within Cory George. Resilient, innovative, progressive, empowering, and creative are a few of words that in part define his multifaceted creative spirit. Pursuing his purpose passionately, his ability to transcend difficult circumstances has allowed him to find his niche as an empowerment coach, prolific motivational speaker and author. His appearances on various traditional and internet radio outlets as well as his multiple appearances on Huff Post Live have garnered George a passionate following. His latest multimedia production, "Cory George presents Whispers in the Night" has been described as "one of the most compassionate, honest, and direct conversations related to childhood sexual assault as suffered by men of color ever witnessed". His life is the testimony from which he teaches and inspires others to create the best version of themselves despite life's continuous challenges. The oldest of seven children and raised both in Houston, Texas and Ville Platte, Louisiana, George has endured trials that most children and young adults will hopefully never have to experience. Having successfully survived years of childhood sexual abuse has made him a champion in the cause; specifically for males who are still struggling to come to terms with their own experiences and providing them the opportunity to begin the healing process. Having been raised by his aunt that became addicted to crack cocaine as well as his father during his teen years gave him an unadulterated view into the power and control inflicted by addiction. In addition, his esteem was was ravaged by a severe speech impediment that left him feeling voiceless and unaccounted for. The only thing he trusted was his pen and paper by which he could create the world in which he felt comfortable. That same trust would develop into his mainstay as he learned to articulate his passion for motivation both verbally and on paper.
