In February of 2012, Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim is proud to announce that she acted as the keynote speaker for the Korean Students' Association Career Conference at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. While she's been asked to speak at many conferences, both large and small, throughout her career, this particular engagement had special resonance for Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim. "I left Korea when I was a young woman, but I still have a deep fondness in my heart for my country and those who have emigrated from Korea," says Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim. "I love speaking to people from my country, and I love the idea that I might be able to inspire young people to do great things in this country, just as I have done. My life is full of many examples of overcoming, and thus I developed the philosophy of “He can do, She can do, Why not me!” I want people to know, that they can have happiness and success in their lives, but that they have to be willing to have courage, and faith, and never give up. I was so honored to be asked to speak in front of this prestigious group." Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim tailors her speeches, based on the needs of the group she will be speaking to. As a result, none of her speeches are quite the same. She works hard to ensure, in fact, that no two speeches are overly similar to one another. "I can never be sure if someone in the audience hasn't seen me in a different venue at a different point in time, so I work hard to ensure that each speech is original," says Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim. "It's easy enough to do, as I always feel as though I have quite a bit to say and a lot of information to share. I never feel as though I don't have experiences or material to draw from." For this speech, Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim focused on the theme of the conference, which was: Colour Your Path. "I wanted these students to understand that they really do have options, no matter how difficult the economy might be," says Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim. "I added in stories of my own career as examples, and I think I was able to inspire some of these students with my words."
