Anacapa School Welcomes Back Shaun Tomson to Speak to Community
Experience the power of “I Will” to help you achieve your goals.
SANTA BARBARA, May 11, 2017 – Surfing legend, entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Shaun Tomson, returns to Anacapa School’s Breakfast Club, after five years. Shaun is the author of the best seller The Code: The Power of “I Will,” a book inspired by his presentation to Anacapa School in 2012.
Anacapa School’s Breakfast Club is a unique program where guest speakers with various backgrounds, come from all over the world to share details of their professions and life experiences. Each year, Breakfast Club brings in over 50 speakers, exposing the students to a diverse range of ideas and career possibilities.
After Tomson’s first Breakfast Club at Anacapa School, he asked the students to create their own personal code, their vision for their future, beginning each sentence with I will. Anacapa Headmaster, Gordon Sichi had the students complete the assignment and sent them to Shaun as a “thank you.” The responses were what led Tomson to his next book.
“What was sent back to me was poetry of pure power – so powerful in fact that I used what they sent me as the basis for my book: The Code – the Power of “I will” that has inspired hundreds of thousands of other students around the world,” said Shaun Tomson. “The Anacapa students started an enormous positive wave that keeps rolling across the world, building strength each day. I am so grateful for their inspiration.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Shaun Tomson back to Anacapa School to continue his message of empowering people, to create their own personal code, like what happened at our Breakfast Club five years ago,” said Gordon Sichi, Headmaster at Anacapa School. “Dynamic speakers like Shaun help to open up our students’ minds and develop their critical thinking skills.”
Tomson will present to an audience at a larger venue, Alhecama Theatre, 914 Santa Barbara Street on Thursday, May 18 from 8-9:30am. His talk is free and open to the public; RSVP to Anacapa School.
