CONFERENCE KEYNOTE: Doing the Impossible
[view session info]
|
|
James Bradley draws upon his vast research into the Pacific War and addresses the mindset it takes to achieve success - both in combat and in life. Bradley cites examples of challenges that experts deemed "impossible" and dramatically illustrates how ordinary people did the impossible by thinking outside the box. He explores not only how victory was achieved, but also what that victory cost, in terms of human life and suffering. Bradley's thrilling presentation will challenge you to understand and remember the example that earlier generations have set, and to move beyond the "impossibilities" in your own life.
Flags of Our Fathers was made into a critically-acclaimed film produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Clint Eastwood. The book is the true story of the six men, including Bradley's father, who raised the flag in 1945 on Iwo Jima, an image made iconic in the most reproduced photograph in history. A runaway success, Flags of Our Fathers exemplifies the power of doing the impossible and the achievement of incredible goals.
