NEW EXCLUSIVE SPEAKER

An Olympics Story, with a Twist
Sami Jo Small's Gold Medal day didn't turn out as planned: why she's a great speaker because of it

A goalie with the Canadian Women's Hockey Team, Sami Jo Small was told, a night before the Olympic Gold medal game, that she would not be starting. Rather than be consumed with anger, she chose a positive route and, today, shares a practical and upbeat message of selflessness and a team-above-me mentality that has won raves with audiences across Canada. She talks movingly of adjusting to whatever life throws at you, at any time. "In life, you don't always get to choose the role you play. But you do get to choose how you play it."
