Many people search for their purpose. For Mindy Henderson, purpose found her. She gave her first speech at the age of 4. Mindy was the Texas representative for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Telethon.
I was honored to talk with speaker, author and coach Mindy Henderson about change, determination and life as an entrepreneur. She was recently recognized by Austin Woman Magazine as a Woman to Watch.

• A passion for making the impossible, possible.
Mindy helps people see how to live more productively and positively, to roll with the punches and to work to accomplish all they are capable of. Her mission is to move and inspire people to realize when they take responsibility, stop making excuses and OWN their adversity, they become better, stronger people and their potential is revealed.
