How to harness the power of words to remain positive in the face of adversity

My Interview with Kevin Hall, Episode #19, Hope, Strength & Courage Podcast

“Passion says okay, yeah, we’re going to suffer for what we love here.  We love this child. We love what we’re going through.  It doesn’t help to say why, anyway, right?   It doesn’t help to say well, how could this happen?  Good things – bad things happen to good people all the time. And so you need to come back and say what matters most? Let me have passion.” ~ Kevin Hall

Summary:

Today’s episode features my interview with highly sought-after business consultant, speaker and coach Kevin Hall.

Kevin is one of my mentors and he generously wrote the foreword to my book Two Mothers One Prayer: Facing your child’s cancer with Hope, Strength & Courage. In this episode Kevin shares with us words that strengthen us as we support our families.

What impressed me most about my interview with Kevin, is his brilliant story telling and wisdom that he shares throughout the interview. I could listen to Kevin for hours. In fact, I have listened to him for hours as he has mentored me from a number of years. I am grateful that he talked about Passion and our willingness to suffer for what we love and just like Dr Setton, in our previous episode, he talks about Victor Frankl and most importantly Genshai – never treat another person in a manner that would make them feel small.

I hope you will enjoy Kevin’s stories and wisdom in this interview as much as I did.

Best Advice from Kevin Hall:

  • We were fortunate that when people came in to visit our daughter…they came to affirm her, to encourage her.  To encourage is to add to somebody ‘s heart, so when you breathe life into her, you add to her heart when you come in.  I think that went a long ways for her to being able to recover.
  • … people say do you ever get a negative thought? Of course, I do.  We all do, nobody’s immune from that, but that’s why we need to reprogram our minds.  And we do it with words.  It’s very intentional.
