Life Lessons on the Slopes: Bernard "Chalky" White's Journey of Transformation
In the latest episode of the podcast, we are joined by the remarkable Bernard Chalky White, an internationally renowned ski instructor and motivational speaker. Bernard's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as he shares the two pivotal questions that transformed his life and can do the same for you.
Growing up in an abusive environment in London, Bernard faced tremendous challenges. He decided to take control of his life at a young age, leading him to a career in law enforcement. However, the call of the mountains and his dreams of becoming a ski instructor were too strong to ignore. It was during this time of reflection that Bernard encountered the two questions that would change everything: "What if I don't go and try to fulfill my dreams?" and "What if I do?"
These questions propelled him into a life filled with adventure and fulfillment. After resigning from his police job, Bernard embarked on a journey that took him to the slopes of Andorra, where he began his transformation into a ski instructor. He faced numerous obstacles along the way, including multiple failures in his certification exams. Yet, it was the power of those two questions that kept him going, allowing him to reframe his negative thoughts into positive actions.
Bernard's story is not just about skiing; it's about resilience, determination, and the importance of asking the right questions. He emphasizes that anyone, especially young people and sales professionals, can benefit from this mindset. By exploring the repercussions of inaction versus the potential rewards of pursuing one's dreams, individuals can shift their emotional state and take meaningful action towards their goals.
In his memoir, "Keep Chewing the Granite," Bernard dives deeper into his life experiences and the lessons learned along the way. The title itself is a nod to Winston Churchill's famous phrase about perseverance. Bernard's journey is a testament to the idea that success is not just about talent but also about persistence and the willingness to confront one's fears.
