  • Whether you're twenty-five or sixty-five, figuring out what you're going to do next in life is a challenge. With great humour, Norman Bacal traces the river of his own journey through success to crashing failure and then to amazing rebirth. As a lawyer, firm builder, motivational speaker and bestselling author, Norman uses his own personal experiences to share advice on how to rebound after failure and set yourself up for success. Norman Bacal built and led an iconic Canadian law firm, was among the pioneers of the financing of the Canadian film and television industry, and had the privilege of working with major Hollywood studios during his thirty-five year legal career.
    In 2016 he stepped away from practice to begin a second career as a motivational speaker, and consultant. He is a Globe and Mail and Amazon bestselling author of four books on leadership, career development and murder-mysteries. An eclectic combination.
    His proudest ongoing achievement, however, is mentoring students, developing professionals, and aspiring leaders across the country in an effort to pay forward the lessons that so enriched his own life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Summary:
    1. Your career journey is a river so you need to adapt and change direction/ success is not a ladder
    2. Steer the boat/ take charge
    3. Single minded determination is the key
    4. Failures are your lessons/ out of every 4 of your decisions, 1 will fail
    5. Don’t be afraid of asking for help

    Yesterday, I was walking and a thought popped into my head. It was of a t-shirt my mother gave me when I was a kid. It had fish on it and one was swimming the wrong direction with the caption saying, "Go against the flow". I wondered if that was right and then today I get this in my recommendations. If you swim upstream, you will get to the source, exhausted and there's not much there but some cold water. If you go with the flow and find your niche, you will eventually spill into the ocean and there is untold amounts of resource, paths, species who can assist you... everything is there. So, find your own path and don't make it harder than it needs to be is what I got from this.

    Very inspiring! Failure is not the adversary. Two years ago I started an online business and made so few sales that made me cry. That fear of failing again stopped me from doing what I loved. But I've recently learnt that admitting you are wrong and learning from your mistakes is the best thing you can do. Failure is not scary. Not trying again is.

      @@poppymoore4949 Considering how things are going all around the world, i'd say that it's a little more than simply fear of failures. I'm actually considering doing something drastic to myself, because if things keep going in the direction that they are going now, it's better to be, on the other side of life, if you understand what i mean, even if this means giving up. I have no trust in other human beings anymore. I live in fear, constantly. But i do not wish to ask for help, because no one would help the way i wanted them to. Sorry if i sound so desperate but it is how i'm feeling right now.

    What can I say.... tears are coming down my eyes..an awe-inspiring speech. No one has a perfect life, even if we think so by perceiving others people's lives through the lens of social media. I thought for once that I had an ideal life, too, until cancer came, and it demolished my castle made of sand. I lost my business and, with that myself. After finishing my treatments and having the ability to be alive and thankful, instead, I felt depressed, miserable and lost. Not sure how I would find a light in this dark tunnel I started to read and journal. Later I thought maybe I should go back to University and study what I always wanted to study, English Literature. Even though I was discouraged by many for throwing my hard-earning money back into studying for a "worthless" degree along with the fact that English is my second language, deep inside of this "worthless" action of mine it brought a spark of light! I am in my 4th year and about to graduate, even though my path is uncertain there is this positive feeling that something worth will come out of my "worthless" action even at the age of 31. That is half of my story and I want to thank Norman Bacal for his inspirational speech!

    I'm glad that I clicked on this auto-suggestion.
    This video was so relatable.
    I worked for about two years then quit because I was not feeling as if any purpose i.e. money or passion or learning got fulfilled and also on most of my days there i have this feeling where I felt empty, blank, dull, worthless.
    I have no single interest that I can think of building up my career. I have many interest but I don't think of making career out of it either. Quite confusing.
    Being purpose-less and confused requires extra effort to keep my mental health in check. You have to withstand people around you asking what do you do and social media is full of people shining in their careers, hustling, and you find yourself right where you started.
    Last year, i discovered that I have anxiety. And recently, i have realised that what I am suffering from in my life is not taking charge... Charge of my life, my decisions... even the smallest ones...
    I don't fear failing at anything... Coz I never really felt the ownership to do anything and how I can one fear failing at something when he/ she never felt that they ever had the power to do it.
    This video is really worthy at point like this when I am looking for a job but still confused whether the i should change my career or continue with the same one.
    Deep inside I know somewhere that to continue doing the same thing means I am choosing the safe and conventional path even when I know I won't enjoy or be exceptional in that and also, with that career shift comes the fear of going wrong, failing, not succeeding even when I don't know who I could be.
    I hope everyone who is reading this finds their voice and relize the power that they are gifted with.

    One thing I've noticed successful people (of what the majority think of as success) saying that failure is an opportunity or there are no mistakes just a chance to learn or I didn't give up because succeeding was just around the corner. Well, once you get where you want to be it's easy to look back and say these sort of things. When you're in the midst of what you perceive as failure and you don't have the inner resources to look beyond that moment, what then ? This is where having connections or a connection with someone one who believes in you comes in. Even if they don't have a personal connection but they can see that you are about to give up on yourself and they don't want to see that happen. Maybe they've been in a similar situation or can relate because of some esoteric reason. Connections and I don't mean the word in a networking kind of way, is the link to someone who in that moment is the impetus to not give up, to keep going. The connection may also be the one to say to you maybe it's not working because it's not for you. Even if that's not true, it may start you thinking about you wanted this in the first place and the fire is revived. Maybe it is true and you start to think about other things you wanted in life and go after them. I think that we all like to think that we've made our way all by ourselves but it's rarely true.

I wish you the very best and I hope we both surprise ourselves soon with what we can achieve as we grow more confident and self doubt doesn’t weigh in us so one day we can say that we feel proud of the women we are becoming and really mean it🙏

    You did such a good job, you maybe didnt realize, how important and significant your competence / skills were, so you handed the leadership over to someone, who who over estimated or underestimated you in relation to the person who was supposed to substitute you doing that job.

    What an outstanding talk, it touched me deeply. I launched my boat, a business, 4 years ago and feel im at that stage you were when your boss told you something wasnt quite right but couldnt say what. Im the boss and critic of myself. I hope i can make the changes fast, as you did. Thank you.
