http://www.TransformingStigma.Com In this video, Mike Veny details the birth of Transforming Stigma™. This short speech was recorded as part of a panel on overcoming challenges at the 2014 National Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (C-E-O) Conference at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.
First, Mike shares about filing bankruptcy in 2005 and building a career as a drummer after that. Then in 2011, Mike had a mental health breakdown. After reaching out to a friend from the New York State Department of Mental Health for help, she responded with an invitation for him to speak at her conference.
After that first speech, Mike was traveling around the country within a few months, opening up mental health conferences as a keynote speaker. Transforming Stigma™ was born. In the spirit of overcoming challenges, Mike reminds us that sometimes our biggest challenges are our greatest opportunities. Sometimes that thing that you are struggling with can inspire the perfect business idea. The key is being aware and open to it.
Entrepreneurship was always in Mike’s blood, but he never would have thought he’d be marketing the toughest thing of all – his own issues. Although, he never dreamed of being a mental health speaker (who does?), Mike is honored to do this work to help others who are like him. Mike knows what it’s like to feel a lost sense of hope. Mike knows what it’s like to feel pain. Mike knows what it’s like to be scared. This is why he does this work in mental health.
Your greatest challenges can be your greatest opportunities.

Description:
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how you can show empathy to others.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to introduce you to a friend of mine, Vikie Shanks, who learned how to empathize the hard way—by going through challenging situations. She shares with us how the difficult times she’s been through have helped her to connect with others.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie Shanks shares with me some of the personal and difficult experiences that she has been through in life. However, instead of getting stuck in these situations she has used them to help her learn to connect and empathize with others who are going through similar experiences. But it doesn’t stop there. We also discuss how we can show empathy to people even if we haven’t been through the same situation as them.
In this video, Vikie and I talk about the importance of sharing our own personal stories with others and the need for more people to be open and honest. When it comes to transforming the stigma around mental health, part of the problem is that too many people aren’t willing to talk about it. The more we are able to share, the more we are able to help people on both sides of the situation.
We share a few tips that you can use on how to talk to others to help them open up and be honest about their situations.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to connect with and show empathy for others in 2019.

AND I’M ISSUING YOU A ***CHALLENGE***, FRIEND!
1) Film yourself sharing your own raw, unedited story to help spread the message about the importance of being open and honest (on Instagram Stories or YouTube or any other platform you prefer).
2) Send it to me or tag me on social media @mikeveny:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeveny. . .
Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikeveny. . .
Instagram: http://instagram.com/mikeveny. . .
Remember, transforming the stigma around mental health starts with getting it into the conversation. Don’t be afraid to share the unsugar-coated version of your story to help encourage others to do the same. The more people are able to see the reality that no one is living a “picture perfect life,” the more we can learn to empathize with others.

http://www.UnleashYourGroove.com Mike Veny is professional speaker and corporate drumming event facilitator. He hosts groups of people for corporate retreats and events. What starts with reluctance often morphs into a great deal of fun and by proxy, magic happens. It all starts with a drum.
This magic is the unwinding and relaxation that comes with the drum and sharing in the beat.
Drums are the oldest of all musical instruments, and when people play them, there awakens in them a primal sense – one that enhances the positives of people and brings out their best. He has yet to be invited as a guest host and not have left the group feeling better about themselves, their work, and their relationships to one another. It is a labor of love which he enjoys greatly.
The instruments he is using are from the Toca Percussion Master Series – Djembe.
Each drum is carved from plantation-grown mahogany and fitted with a goatskin head. The drum comes packed in a backpack bag with waist belt. The belt distributes more of the weight across the hips, like a hiking backpack, and keeps you from growing fatigued while playing it. This way, drummers can move around as they play, allowing the music to feed their flow.
Mike’s corporate drumming events feature Toca Percussion instruments exclusively, and each is handcrafted and tuned by the same people who harvest the wood for each drum. The Master Series represents the highest quality and design they offer, and the deep, rich tones echo solidly through the entire instrument. These drums, like all wooden instruments, deepen their tones and sounds as the drums are played. These djembe are meant to be played and are not meant to be a decoration or knick-knack in the house.
Mike Veny works with corporations, non-profits, schools and anyone who wants to “Unleash Your Groove” and untap the magic that is corporate drumming on the Toca Percussion Djembe.
