You may know the Micklem name well from a bridle hanging in your tack room, but William Micklem has made a name for himself in other avenues, too. He’s dedicated his life and career to education — both his own and others’ — and what he’s learned through the years now comes through the mic in a recent talk at an October TEDx Tralee in Ireland.
In his talk, William focuses on a core topic: how do you reach the maximum potential of your life?
Growing up without much money or funding for education, William learned early on how to question the world around him, seeking the right questions to ask as well as the “secrets” to fulfilling one’s potential. What he put together from his research is what he’s dubbed “The GO! Rules”.
Empowerment is another focal point of William’s talk — shouldn’t we empower those who need to make decisions for themselves? This applies not just to life on a broad scale, but to our riding. Empowerment creates better riders, and better horsemen and horsewomen, as a result.
You won’t want to miss William’s set of “GO! Rules” that can apply to all walks to life and put you directly into the driver’s seat of achieving your goals or reaching your potential. One step at a time, and an overarching theme of “I’ll give it a go!”, will serve you well.
