Unable to speak to “Best Speaker  CBC Magazine  CCA Awards ”

The story Katherine Miracle never wanted to tell

Someone’s past can be a shadow to their success. Katherine Miracle tried to hide her illness in junior high but as her eyelid began to droop, her speech became slurred and at moments she could not speak or even breathe well she could not hide anymore. 

Why hide an illness? In junior high if you see double and you slur words you are accused of taking drugs and for Katherine the gossip and rumors hurt her and her family.  Katherine’s parents Betty and Gene Robinson never accused their daughter; instead they took her to every doctor until the diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis (MG) was found. 

Katherine had surgery and took medicine until 1988 when she met her Miracle, her husband Craig Miracle. As an adult Katherine remembers what is was like to be considered the sick kid and to not want people to ask about the scar on her chest.  Katherine wrote a book called “Discovering Your Dawn’ to help college students and she finally shared part of her story but never spoke about it. 

On Wednesday, February 23^rd, Katherine was awarded Best Speaker by CBC Magazine.  A great honor for a person who at one time could barely speak and who was not expected to have the quality of life to be a  Corporate Motivational Speaker who travels the United States.

Thanks to all who voted for me and for those who attended I did plan to share this when I accepted but my parents are ill and I wanted them to be there when I shared this. For those of you who work with me please remember I am MG free I do not have double vision anymore so if I offer to drive do not be afraid !!! 

It is god’s blessing that we can laugh together about this because MG can be fatal and I am blessed with health because my parents made the decision for me to have the surgery.  I hope to speak at MG conference one day so people can see the surgery works and that they can become anything they dream of becoming. I am proof !!!

From Katherine’s second book  “The the One” The ultimate guide to leadership and motivation.  As a  Business Motivational Speaker Katherine helps audiences unlock their potential and  Increasing your Passion and Productivity in businesses and non profits

To be the One means to be the one person your company cannot live without, your family cannot live with out  but most important to be the one person you have always wanted to be

What you need to know

Your truth Revealed

“How to know yourself, believe in yourself and love yourself”

The first half of my life I tried to be exceptional for others, the second half of my life I will strive to be exceptional for me”

Only when you forgive can your truth be revealed. The obstacles, the hidden messages and the blessings are lessons that lead you to truth. Most people ignore them or crush under them. Can you say “it was my greatest gift” even if something was taken from you or your lost it.

Or do you crush under the weight of the loss. After forgiveness comes realization, connection and truth. Can you withstand the pressure of your truth. If you forgive and become accountable you can learn about yourself and slowly begin to believe about yourself and ultimately love yourself.

 Once I made peace with my past, I began to see the wonder and amazement of nature, people and love. I made peace, practiced positivity and did not judge but instead learned that love really never ends it just stays in your heart.

What is missing from your life?

What is it?  Did you lose it or did you ever have it?

Where do you find it?

Love = find it in yourself,  not through others

Happiness is not determined by your current circumstances it is determined by how you handle your current circumstances…jodie sweetin

I thought I was strong and to be the one, that is the one person I wanted to be, I needed to be perfect, happy, available and the smartest.  I was so wrong, I spent too much time looking at what I thought I was good at instead of listening to others. COSE saw my talent as a  Keynote Speaker and  Motivational Speaker  when I did not think I could do anything but seminars….. I would promote others but not myself.

I always wanted to see the reason why things happened, I wanted a conculsion instead of seeing the journey and learning from each moment.

My personal trainer  said I had the map but it was the wrong map for my weight loss. I told him my doctor told me no running but I kept running because I needed it.  My trainer said, “What are you running from?”  I realized it was myself , I need to run from my problems and not face them. It was easier to run get endorphins then face my truth.  My truth that I was not who I wanted to be and my self esteem was low because I lost faith in myself.  I was helping everyone but me.  My clients, audience members, family, friends and students got the best of me and I got nothing. Everyone said they needed me and I was their sunshine but I was not sharing my expectations of what I needed.  I was everyones Tylenol.

To be the one means to be someones rock and someones champion while getting the oxygen you need to be strong for others. 

The peace and discovery in my life began during the writing of my first book discovering your Dawn. As I spoke to more audiences, helped more students and clients it became clear that once you have forgiven you must learn to know yourself, believe in yourself and love yourself to truly become who you want to be.

During a time of intense pain and struggle I began writing this book because I was fighting for my happiness and learning how to believe in myself so I made a challenge, to be the one. The one God needed me to be and the one who I wanted to be. I needed to be accountable for the issues in my life like my weight and hiding my feelings of pain.  I did everything my first book suggested like asking for help, striving for self respect and achieving balance.  I did not make the mistakes I made during the first tragedy of my life.  I needed to kick myself in the butt on some issues and cut off some hurtful relationships in an effort to protect myself and my family.

 When I shared my expectations of my husband, my friends my family and my students they changed and expected more from themselves. 

Today I challenge you to Respect Yourself, Ask for Help and Strive for Balance only then can you…Be The One  

Do you know the truth in your life? The shadow you carry that prevents you from unlocking your potential?

Katherine Miracle, author, entrepreneur and college professor, works with students, clients and audience members who have skill and talent but often hold themselves back from success due to the shadows they carry.  Katherine is available for interviews based on her recently published book, “Discovering Your Dawn.”   A book signing at Holiday Inn Rockside will be held at 1pm on December 2nd.  There will be opportunity to purchase a copy of the book at this event.

Based on a true story, Miracle’s personal narrative reflects upon a tragedy the happened  while she attended The University of Akron. “Discovering Your Dawn” unveils the mistakes Miracle made during an unparalleled tragedy and reflects upon her own suffering in an effort to help others prevent personal crisis.  Katherine speaks on college campuses on “The truth about Leadership and Love, this motivational and inspirational seminar that Katherine describes as her “purpose,” tells of the loss of close friends, tumultuous relationships, and how such jarring tales impacted her educational experience. Miracle relives the harsh reality of her past presented in “Discovering Your Dawn” in hopes no one else can succumb to a similar tragic fate.

William Denihan, CEO of Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Cuyahoga County, had this to say about Miracle’s story- “Your story is a compelling story of true love and your special strength. You have a gift that not only shares your hope, but also draws from those of us who only dream of making our goal to help others.”

The book signing is sponsored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.  “We have been blessed to belong to The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) because Katherine was trained by AFP to become a fundraising leader. Katherine built deep friendships with fellow AFP members and they learned to depend on each other.  During good and bad times, Katherine has the support of her AFP members and was pleased to be asked to speak Thursday, December 2, 2010 as the Keynote for the AFP Annual meeting. AFP also requested a book signing.  The book signing will be held at Holiday Inn Rockside at 1pm  The greatest blessing is to be recognized by the experts in my field and to have my book showcased”  Miracle Resources and Katherine Miracle

Being the one in your business relationships

     To be the one means to be the one person that your clients/customers say “you have to call her/him they will help”  Miracle Resources heard clients say that phrase over and over and we decided to strive for it to be said by all of our customers.  If your mission is to bring value to clients, your purpose is to serve them by sharing your resources, expertise and by building a relationship of trust. 

     A wise woman named Linda Bloom asked me, “Katherine are your clients your best friends”   I quickly replied, “No, we have a professional relationships” Linda then shared the secret to keeping business relationships.  The secret is to build a trust that displays how you can help and to build a bond that is so strong it will never break.  I needed to hear this because my relationships consisted of visiting clients with my staff and I was very formal, always showing perfection. 

     My mistake was that I trying so hard that clients did not get to know me.  As I became accountable, I looked at my public speaking, I was formal and people would often write to me that they learned so much but knew I was very busy and they did not want to bug me after my speech.  How sad, I tried so hard to be perfect that I was unapproachable and did not truly build relationships. 

     As a  Corporate Motivational Speaker and  Marketing Keynote Speaker, I knew I had to open up, tell my truth and treat clients as I treat my friends and family.  I started telling stories about the crazy mistakes I make and I used my mistakes to help others.  Miracle Resources started to have coffee or lunch with every client, no agenda “just come to the table and we will listen”.   As we listened, we saw so many people hurting and carrying shadows that held them back from success.  When I started teaching college and saw students who struggled just as much as clients and audience members at my speeches I tried to find a book that would help but could not find one.  In an effort to help others, I exposed my mistakes, pain and tragedy in my first book   “Discovering Your Dawn”.

     The book has been a wake up call and help people in three countries. Miracle Resources has been amazed at how supportive clients were of the book.  Miracle Resources relationships grew deep and during the tough economy our clients stayed and although the economy made it tough to get new clients we could survive with the clients we had.  It became clear in 2010 that many of our competitors would close and what may surprise you is we did not race to get their clients. Our networking and relationship building led to our competitors sending their clients to Miracle Resources. 

     A note from Miracle Resources:

We have been blessed to belong to The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Katherine was trained by AFP to become a fundraising leader. Katherine built deep friendships with fellow AFP members and they learned to depend on each other.  During good and bad times, Katherine has the support of her AFP members and is honored to be asked to speak Thursday, December 2, 2010 as the Keynote for the AFP Annual meeting. AFP also requested a book signing.  The book signing will be held at Holiday Inn Rockside at 1pm  “The greatest blessing is to be recognized by the experts in my field and to have my book showcased” Katherine Miracle

Everyday you see people who struggle, just move through the day in survivor’s mode and react to situations rather than respond and learn from every opportunity.  In the workplace, this results in decreased revenue and productivity.  In our personal lives if we never see that we carry a shadow (our real problem) that shadow will destroy all hope for success.

As a  Corporate Motivational Speaker I meet people who tell me that they are unhappy, depressed and cannot move forward. These people ask me what is wrong and what is missing.  I share that for me I knew something was not right but I buried it until my MBA professor asked us to tell our shadow and that if we did not address it we would never be successful. As each person shared their story (some were CEO’s, VP’s and all were fighting back tears) each person opened up and was honest. Yours truly, Katherine Miracle the same person clients call the one. That is the one who provides them expert marketing strategy and helps them with leadership issues, got very quiet in the class and her wake up call was that the instructor never called on me. Why, because she could see in my face the pain that I needed to overcome and I was not ready to share.  So I wrote a book about my shadow and now I help people address solve their real problems through motivation and marketing.  I wish I could tell you it was easy and that involved no risk but my Wake Up Call was painful, embarrassing and involved me becoming accountable.If I wanted to accomplish my goal of helping others I had to help myself. 

 Increasing your Passion and Productivity and performing  Exceptional Teamwork can only be achieved by waking up and solving the real problem. 

So many times Miracle Resources meets with a company about marketing and the real problem deals with the shadows of the leaders and employees. Step one is realizing the problem and as an inspirational speaker I work to find options that create a strategy.

Step two is finding the motivation to accomplish the goal. As a Motivational Speaker it is my job to find several motivations that will create a mindset for success.

My wake up call on weight loss has led me to lossing 39lbs and I followed the advice of my book “Discovering Your Dawn”  I needed to respect my self and motivate myself to do the work. I asked for help by finding the best personal trainer in Stu Harter and I have maintained balance by ensuring I have time to work out!  My mindset has been to live my life in a new way where food is fuel not an escape or comfort.  If I am every going to hit this goal I have to focus on it as a dominate thought.  Weight loss has been the one goal I have not met but the rest I have accomplished so why has this one been so tough? Because I did not ask for help in the past and my shadow made me feel I was not good enough.  Are you good enough?  If you do not know yourself, believe in yourself and love yourself you can never meet your goals. 

If you want success and happiness, you have to fight for it! Miracle Resources and Katherine Miracle want to help you unlock your potential.

Dear Readers,

     As you read Discovering Your Dawn you realized that Labor Day is always my most dreaded day of the year. As this anniversary of Dawn and Wendy’s death approached I decided that I would try to change my attitude and not think about the tragedy of that fateful Labor Day weekend but instead focus on the love and memories that have stayed with me.

Since I published Discovering Your Dawn I was not sure how Miracle Resources clients would perceive this work and would they want me to focus on their marketing needs only. Our surprise as a staff has been that our clients now open up about what is holding them back and what shadows they are overcoming as a result of reading the book.  As a  Business Motivational Speaker I have audience members write to me on Labor Day to check on me.  I am so blessed because this year I received a special card from a Vietnam Veteran named Jimmy, Marlene the Executive Director of VMCAD Foundation and Margery, the most intelligent operation executive I know.  The card gave the words of God and soften the intensity of this weekend.

My sorority sister Sherri sent me a note that helped me realize that our love for Dawn and Wendy never died and that although we were forced to grow up quickly our bond as sisters deepened through this tragedy.

My husband joined me for the very first time at Dawns graveside today. Our prayer was that Dawn would be happy with my life and feel the love we have for her always. As I speak on college campuses as a  University Guest Speaker I meet students who struggle and our story helps them see the light at the end of the tunnel.

As we start this week lets agree that we need to see our blessings not focus on our losses. Miracle Resources staff hopes to see you September 14th at 7pm at Legacy Village, Joseph Beth Booksellers for our networking event and book signing.

Wishing you all the very best,

Katherine
