Olympics | #CPChatNow

This past week in #CPChatNow was grooving as always. Members discussed their favorite Olympic and Paralympic sports and who helped them become an advocate. This is #CPChatNow co-host, Devin Axtman, taking you along for the ride on this week’s recap. All aboard!

First, members discussed their favorite Olympic and Paralympic sports. Hannah rightly pointed out that the Paralympics are coming up. The Paralympics are the Olympics for disabled athletes.

i ask what member's favorite olympic sports are. hannah tweets gymnastics and swimming and points out the paralympic sports of swimming and wheelchair curling.

Next, members discussed who helped them become an advocate. Veronica talked about her husband helping her be herself.

Many people talked about how actions their parents took sparked their advocacy skills. Zach also discussed how he became an advocate at college.

This brings us to our Extend-The-Conversation Question: What skills do you think are necessary to be a good advocate?

Thanks for reading and please join us each Wednesday at 8 Eastern on X!

Summer proved an unofficial theme during the August 10th, 2016 #CPChatNow Twitter chat. Co-host Zachary Fenell back as promised to supply the recap. A question from my co-host Blake Henry led to the summertime discussion.

Those I interviewed include my younger brother Nick and my father Bill. If interested, check the videos out. After you finish reading the recap obviously!

With that shameless plug finished, let me resume focus. Regular Hannah Pike reminded us accomplishment manifests itself in many ways.

Never overlook simple perseverance through tough times. Thriving often first requires surviving. Whether a grand accomplishment or persevering, let the #CPChatNow community know your summer 2016 accomplishments. Answer today’s extend-the-conversation question.

Moving on, talk about the Olympics kept the unofficial summer theme going.

Amidst the Olympics chatter an admiration for gymnasts’ elegant movements arose.

Sadly I predict with future summer Olympics officials will continue contending with lying. On a positive note, I can additionally see my co-host and I enjoying an outdoor adventure together in a future summer. A prospect we discussed August 10th. Discussion that led to insightful dialogue about using mobility devices.
