How Do Ideas Take Flight?

Walter Fredrick Morrison might have had an answer. He is best known as the inventor of and giving rise to the Frisbee. In 1946 he overcame post-war adversity and created the world’s first flying disc. Fredrick by himself most likely would have failed, but he lifted teams of creative architects and financial planners up to make his ideas soar. As a result, he became very wealthy. Every successful idea has a history and behind its creator. You see, a visionary dwells in the creation of what can be rather than getting sucked into the accepted. To me, this is how truly great ideas are developed. In the following documents, I humbly submit my credentials in consideration of building instead of the accepted norm. In moving forward I ask. Will I be perceived as another person scrambling for a seat? Then I would be providing you a huge disservice. I am confident my presence will create new opportunities, expand possibilities, and solve a current headache. My contribution provides value to a piece of plastic that allows a frisbee to soar!

Walter Fredrick Morrison discovered when we rise by lifting others, miracles unfold. I welcome the opportunity to prove why I am unique and have devoted my life to the service of others. It is my wish that you discover what inspires and drives my passions. We can only rise when we lift others,

IT TAKES A TRIBE

Tara White- Doctor of Physical Therapy Baylor Scott & White

“Intentional and Experienced”

“Stephen regards his students with highest esteem. He answers questions, addresses individual concerns, and is intentional with each and every class. As a licensed Physical Therapist with over 300 hours of personal experience in a variety of yoga mediums, I can attest that Stephen has been the only teacher whom has addressed both the physiological basis for postures, as well as describing proper anatomical alignment.” Brian Fisher- President Human Coalition

“A BIG Picture Perspective”

“Let’s face it, most uber-talented creatives are pretty flaky...but that certainly doesn’t describe the demeanor of Stephen Bison. Stephen stands out because of his amazing creative aptitude combined with an uncommon understanding of the BIG PICTURE. A true marketer, entrepreneur, creative, and all-around great guy to have around. If you need a design professional that is exactly that-- professional--then look no further” Christy Ahsanullah - Faculty SMU Southern Methodist University

“Truly incredible restorative life changing experience”

“It is my great fortune to have found Stephen Bison. He is an inspirer who has given me a great gift through his Yoga teachings. I have been plagued by bursitis in my shoulder and tendonitis around my knee as well as lumbar disc injury. Through Stephen’s guided Yin practice, I have grown to understand my injuries and the movements that I can do to carefully and responsibly reduce my pain, while building flexibility and increasing my range of motion concentrating on fascia and connective tissue. I am just a neophyte, but the difference has been remarkable. The Yin method coupled with Stephan’s patience, caring, personal guidance and knowledge has yielded a truly incredible restorative life changing experience.”

Chris Edmonds - Senior Creative Director Aramark Corporation

“Thinks Outside the Box’”

““Stephen is a highly creative individual with the ability to take the simplest idea and turn it into a powerful concept. As Director of Clinical Marketing, he created innovative promotional material that did in turn bring in great results. It was a pleasure working with Stephen and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an individual that melds strategy into creative."

Kathi Ering - Founder Reef Point Yoga

“A Intuitive Leader’”

” My observation is that successful people have learned to define their own place in the social order. Stephen has managed to do just this. Like controlling the breath, he has learned to transcend this involuntary process and utilize the tribe to create a community of one by focusing on unity through consistent self-examination. It is pure magic observing his creative mind lead a group”

“Leaders lead when they take positions,

and help the tribe connect to itself.”—Seth Godin ad262j@r.postjobfree.com MY JOURNEY
