Inspirational Story: The Unbalanced Paddleboarder, Mike Shoreman, “I said YES”:

Austin Tang — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:41:08 +0000

Listen to “Inspirational Story: The Unbalanced Paddleboarder, Mike Shoreman, "I said YES":” on Spreaker.

Mike Shoreman, “The Unbalanced Paddleboarder,” is a fun and personable paddleboarder. On a trip to India, he stands before the Ganges River, and awakens to his passion of inspiring others on the water. He returns home, becomes a professional paddlbeboarding coach, taught stand-up paddleboarding and ran a business. His dream of sharing his gift with students becomes a reality.
One morning, everything changes. A sudden neurological condition called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (a result of having chicken pox as a child) wakes him in excruciating pain. With a collapsed face, extreme vertigo, and an inability to walk properly, Mike is devastated that his budding paddleboarding career has come to an abrupt end. Hopelessness and loss enfold him as he is left to grieve his old life.
Instead, Mike channeled his pain into purpose. He used positive thinking to reverse falling down. He got back up and stepped bravely into a life that looks nothing like the one he had originally planned. He wrote Diaries of The Unbalanced Paddleboarder: Crash and RISE: From Victim to Thriving Survivor to highlight what it truly means to crash and rise again by transcending mental and physical limitations in order to share his light with the world. His story reminds us that it is always darkest just before the dawn.
In August 2020, he entered Speaker Slam, the largest North American Inspirational Speaking Competition. He gave his first speech ever that evening to 300 people hoping to uplift a few people in the room. Titled “I said yes,” Mike won the competition.
Today, Mike still coaches paddleboarding while being a sought-after motivational speaker.
Mike Shoreman would welcome the opportunity to speak with Good News Broadcast about how to survive, thrive and say YES.

The International Star Diamond Award

The Academy receives a large number of possible recipients for the award from respectable sources around the world. The selection is then refined by the Board of Trustees. The final evaluation is a visit by an anonymous inspector to review the destination and its services.

The award itself has multiple formats:

– For hotels and resorts, a set of gold-plated plaques including the logo and engraved signatures of the three board members;

– For restaurants, a set of plaques, both gold and silver-plated, with the logo and signatures;

– For chefs, a plaque with recognition engravings and a medal;

– A framed letter from the Academy recognizing the destination’s winning of the award;

– Lapel pins and cuff links in a jewelry box.

An additional format of a plate has been used for chefs.
