Welcome Speech
Hello, my name is Bisi Osundeko You are welcome to the virtual book launch event for my first independently published book titled befriending Adversity: how I leveraged the power of adversity in my life and business Welcome to my online guests and those who will be watching this on a replay. Please tell me what town or city or country that you are watching from. It will be nice to appreciate the reach of my virtual book launch. Watching this live is the ultimate experience so please hit the share button ad tell your Facebook or YouTube friends that the befriending adversity book launch is now live. My book ‘Befriending Adversity’ was written in response to the curiosity of the people that I have met so far in my life. I always get the ‘how did you do that’ and the ‘why’ questions all the time. How do you manage to do all that you do? How did you successfully propel your business to its current successful level despite all the obstacles that you have encountered in life so far. So, here’s my answer to all these questions. My book 'befriending adversity' answers all those important question on my unique attitude to adversity. The strategies and principles that have worked for me so far. As regards my writing journey, I’m a self-taught writer and my writing was borne out of the need for self-expression. My heart felt heavy years ago on a particular day and I just felt the need to get some words out there to the wold as regards the challenges that I was facing as a parents to two children with disabilities. I grabbed my laptop and typed almost 20 pages about my special needs parenting journey. Prior to then, I have done a bit of blogging and I also run an onlinenplatform for disability awreness. For me, writing is another form of facilitating important conversations. I write as though I am talking to you, one person. My story was a series of Facebook posts that I posted within the popular female empowerment group, 'female in'. I had to split my story into 3 parts because it was so long. When I posted my story in that group, to me I was simply raising awareness but the tons of positive response to my story was life changing. Thousands of comments and private messages as well. Ladies wrote to me to ask if I had ever considered putting my story into a book. It was a surprise for me because my understanding then was that I needed some sort of literature degree to be an author. I didn’t realise that the authenticity of my true life story was simply enough. Every other skill can be developed and although it has taken me a couple more years to get here, I’m so pleased to witness this amazing time in the history of my life and I thank you for coming with me on this journey. I started with contributing a chapter of my special needs parenting journey to an amazing book, an antology called 'I fly: stories of overcoming adversity'. 'I fly' literally launched me into the published writing world because it is such an amazing book that I co-authored with 19 other writers from around the world. So at the time I wrote 'I fly', I desired to write another book, this time a complete book that will reflect my business expertise. I also wanted the book to reflect my life experiences. Afterall, you can't really separate these two aspects of my life. After writing, I literally wrote down more than 10 titles before I finaly narrowed it to down to this unique title that I feel perfectly sums up what this book that we are launching today is all about : Befriending Adversity: How I leveraged the power of adversity in my life and business. With this book, I hope that your life will not remain the same because the nuggets are life changing. After each chapter, there are some useful nuggests to help you remember the vital points in each chapter. I really can't wait to hear your amazing feedback. I am confident that your understading of how we should handle adversity will be greatly impacted. You will realise that adversity is not our foe but a friend. Of course, only if you practice the strategies that you learn in my book. So again, welcome to my book launch,
