My hockey career was over, but I knew that I al- ways had a dream to become a speaker and author about leadership.” Over the past eleven years, Latulippe has realized that dream and now shares his life experiences with others. “What is the number one thing that is stop- ping us fromdoing what we want in life?” he asked the students. “It’s fear, anxiety, stress. We tell ourselves it’s impossible, it’s not going to happen, I’m not good enough.” Latulippe said when he first started think- ing about his speaking andwriting career, he contacted one of his favourite speakers, New York Times best-selling author Patrick Combs.
