MPI NF February Hybrid Educational Luncheon

Join us In-person or Virtually on February 29th for our Hybrid Educational Event - Hit 'Em Back: Using Passion, Tenacity, and Persistence as Anchors Toward your Fears.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

In Chevelle’s motivational program on how she used and implemented passion, tenacity, and persistence to further her career, she inspires her listeners that they can achieve success even when it seemed like all odds are against them.  In a time of extreme disruption, her story is a shining example that people can overcome obstacles that are put in their way. As participants lean in to her struggles and triumphs, they dig deeper into their understanding of their own inner will that helps them “Hit ‘em back” and persevere in both their personal and professional life. With so much negativity and challenge plaguing the meetings and events industry, participants walk away inspired and prepared to use her three anchors to face and conquer their fears to move forward with optimism.    

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

- Inspire attendees to face fears and adversities through real world examples of implementing strategies for success.
- Share important message and strategies on how to set and achieve goals
- Demonstrate examples of implementing strategies for success

SPEAKER- CHEVELLE HALLBACK:

Chevelle Hallback is very talented and wear lots of hats. She is a professional boxer, an actress, a screenwriter, and a motivational speaker. Chevelle was born in Plant City, a small town in Florida she calls “Itty Bitty Plant City.” Even though she was born in Florida, her father joined the military when she was six years old, so Chevelle has lived and traveled all over the world, graduating from high school in Stuttgart, Germany. 

At the tender age of seven years old, after watching a boxing match on TV of Muhammad Ali, Chevelle dreamed of becoming a professional boxer and felt, with everything in her, that she would be great at it. 18 years later, when female boxing emerged on the scene, she begin to work extremely hard on turning her dreams into a reality. Not only did her dream come true, but she is now a five-time world champion and has fought on three major networks being one of the first females to fight on ESPN.  In 2005, a short documentary, 'Fists of Steel', was made about her journey and was shown on the big screen at the Tribeca New York Film Festival.

After 22 years of being in the sport, Chevelle is now considering hanging up the gloves and taking on a career that comes naturally to her as a motivational and inspirational keynote speaker. Motivating and encouraging others is a passion of hers and something she has been doing all her life. Inspiring future generations, Chevelle has spoken to various schools ranging from elementary to high school as well as different organizations throughout the country.

Still competing at the young age of 49 and still ranked in the top ten in the world in a “young person’s” sport, Chevelle relays the message and is a shining example to both young and old (and especially to women), “Do not let age defy you.”
