Trisha Meili
Trisha Meili's story is about the capacity of the human body and spirit to heal. It's a story of hope and possibility. It didn't begin that way.
On April 19, 1989, a young woman went for a run in New York's Central Park shortly after 9 p.m. Hours later, two men wandering the park found her near death from a brutal beating and rape. In a coma, with 75 percent blood loss, a fierce blow to the head and severe exposure, doctors at Metropolitan Hospital worried that this young woman might not survive. The story seized the headlines, not only in New York, but around the world as people contemplated what the savagery of the attack said about our society.
Trisha Meili, known to the world as The Central Park Jogger, revealed her amazing story of survival and recovery 14 years later in her best-selling memoir I AM…
Peak Performance The Power of Personal Responsibility
In the darkest days after the attack, Trisha took responsibility for her recovery, realizing that she was an integral part of the healing process. Soon after emerging from the coma when a nurse asked her, "Who's the captain of this ship?" Meili replied, "I am." Taking responsibility in this way led Meili to set, pursue and achieve goals, and touch thousands in the process. Meili demonstrates to her audience that taking personal responsibility is the beginning of peak performance.
Mind/Body The Power of the Present Moment
In the middle of a crisis, it is often difficult to figure out what to do first. When everything had been taken away from Meili, she realized all she could do to improve her future was to work in the present moment. She offers this as critical insight to all of us who face business and personal challenges.
Personal Growth The Power of Possibilities
Meili's transformation from someone in a wheelchair, who couldn't walk to once again being a determined athlete capable of completing a New York City Marathon, was the result of concentrating on her possibilities. Focusing on what she could do, rather than on what she couldn't, motivated her to keep pushing to the edges of what she thought was possible, regardless of the obstacles. As a best selling author and Chairman of a worldwide organization serving those with disabilities, Meili shows the results of continued pushing and growing.
Attitude The Power of Choice
Meili couldn't change what happened the attack but she realized that she could choose how to respond. Beyond her recovery, Meili chose to use this adversity to offer hope and possibility to others. In everyday life, we make choices quite causally, even carelessly. But when people choose consciously and with precision choose as though their life depends on the choice they are making, real power flows. Through her speaking and writing, Meili inspires listeners to experience the power of making conscious choices.
Leadership The Power of Self-Knowledge
Self-knowledge is a critical element in any leadership practice. After the attack, Meili was forced to learn to live in a new body with a new mind, to understand herself in an entirely new way. Becoming more acutely aware of her strengths and weaknesses helped Meili develop confidence, which lead to setting goals and taking action to improve. Meili encourages others to tap into the power of self-knowledge, take control and move forward.
Teamwork The Power of Support
Trisha Meili stresses how outside support was vital to her healing. Family, friends, coworkers, doctors, nurses, and therapists all worked as a team to ensure Meili's survival. Additional support came from strangers as an outpouring of thoughts, prayers, and warm messages provided a critical connection for Trisha, reaffirming that she was not alone in her ordeal. Trisha inspires others about the importance of joining the team, regardless of the goal.
