How you become the best you can be | Boris Grundl | TEDxHHL

The phrase "become the best that you can be" accompanies Boris Grundl since his accident in 1990 and until today this principle is guiding him in all walks of life. The fundamental idea he is sharing: concentrate on what's there – and make the best of it. Boris Grundl is a management trainer, entrepreneur, author, and owner of the Grundl Leadership Academy. His academy follows the credo of “Developing people –with system”. Boris Grundl has perfected the skill of leading himself and others at the highest level and is a popular guest lecturer at several universities for leadership topics. However, at the beginning of his life Boris Grundl had other plans. He studied sports and psychology in Cologne and just enjoyed his life. One day, while jumping off a cliff in Mexico, he got 90% paralyzed. What a shock for a young sports man. But he didn’t give up. He got back on track and became a successful wheelchair athlete even starting at the Paralympics. From this tough experience Boris Grundl learned a lot, which can be transferred to leadership. In his talk he refers to his learnings of “How you become the best you can be”. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
