Shy and overweight as a child, Guy travelled a rocky road on his way to becoming National Teacher of the year in 1986. The encouraging and discouraging messages he received about himself as a youth taught him a profound truth: that we hold each other's fragile hopes in our hands ... as everything we say and do has the potential to shape another's dreams.
Through this inspiring story you will some of the people who moulded Guy Doud's dreams for good and bad: the seventh grade gym teacher who shattered his fragile ego with ridicule, the English instructor who rebuilt his self-confidence and convinced him he had worth, and the unforgettable student who inspired Guy and his entire class with his courage to fight cancer.
With wit and humour. Guy Doud delivers a touching presentation that reveals how deeply we affect others, sometimes without even realizing it.
