The secrets of Self-Motivation

Have fun as you move toward your wonderful life. Say goodbye to the blues because you no longer have time for that. You are now playing a fun game and you are on your way to a wonderful place. It’s your future. You are now on your way to a wonderful life. This seminar teaches you to know what you want, know why you want it, know that you can have it, and know how to get it. This program teaches you how to refine your goals so that they become motivational rocket fuel for your engine. In this training I teach a paradigm shift called “Living Life As A Game”. I teach a special way to score this game that keeps you in the zone of peak performance and motivates you every day to reach a little further toward the life you want to live. This powerful training uses the principles of Psycho-Cybernetics and mental rehearsal to help you move effortlessly into an inspiring future that you can create now.

Relaxed and Powerful
The end of stress and the beginning of resourcefulness.

This is a lighthearted and entertaining talk that will teach people simple methods for reducing stress and becoming a more creative problem solver at the same time. This training will help people to be happier in all areas of life. Did you know that stress is the inevitable result or reaction to a story you are telling yourself about an immanent disaster. This story releases the adrenaline which creates the physiological reaction that we call stress. Change the story and the stress can vanish. Stress is how we motivate ourselves and others but there is a better way. In this talk you will learn how stress is used as a motivator and how to use an inner dialogue process to end stress and become more creative and resourceful.

I work with individuals and groups based on their natural inclinations and I help them to be self-referred, self confident, creative and then powerful enough to launch their innovative ideas. When people work in their true genius they get very efficient and their Time Management is easy without focusing on time management. Thinking in a certain way and being deeply relaxed produces effortless efficiency and a natural cohesion and order.

On the outside this process may begin with techniques and a certain cultivation of "the Golden Hour" a space where no interruptions occur. But the truth is that the entire phenomenon of genius occurs from an inner cultivation of the heart and a left-right brain cohesion, There is an inner dialog process that uses the pure logicof the left brain hemisphere to sort out the conflicting emotions and ideas contained in the right-brain.

Many things get handled without being directly approached such as:
* Attitudes
* Goals and Priorities
* Planning
* Managing
* Procrastination
* Teamwork
* Reducing stress
* Increasing productivity

The attitude and inner dialog that I teach generates original concepts and goes beyond the standard approaches, to see the essence of the problem or opportunity and the big picture also. This approach helps people recognize new directions; develop ways to promote ideas and move toward implementation. This Eastern and Western blending helps people to challenge and analyze old ideas to detect potential problems and move into true genius and innovation. Some of the emotional benefits are…

* Enthusiasm
* Integrity
* Self-Renewal
* Courage
* Wisdom, discrimination and sound judgment
* Performing at peak levels with lots of energy
* Enhanced Calm in Problem Solving
* Collaboration
* Inspiriation

In training people to use these processes we develop powerful listening skills.

It's estimated that people screen out or change the intended purpose of what they hear in over 70% of all communications! The biggest factor contributing to such miscommunication is the preconceptions and perceptions of the listener.

All Listening Approaches are enhanced by "the Socratic Dialog". It helps people in your organization:

* Discover a natural approach to listening.
* Develop their listening strengths.
* Improve their ability to understand people.
* Use listening to enhance communication.
* Overcome barriers and reduce conflict.
* Enhance individual and team performance.

This Socratic Dialog helps individuals understand themselves and their relationship with another people in a social or work setting. That other person may be a coworker, significant other, or parent. It might also be a friend, supervisor, teenage child, spouse or another relative.

Information provided through this dialog offers a framework for understanding and appreciating people. The end result of this approach is more successful relationships in all areas of life. But most importantly it frees up energy and enables a person to trust their intuition and become more self-referred. It enables a person to do a brainstorming process that utilizes intuition and right brain creativity for solutions.
