Session Description: Every person is a being of infinite power and potential, but this power can only be harnessed by going within and becoming the master of one’s mind, thoughts, and beliefs. The journey begins within our minds, for as Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or can’t, you are correct.” What we think, we become. This workshop will help you understand and improve the three most important habits for being a Do More Good® Leader: being mindful, present, and trusting your intuition. You will learn the powers and abilities of the most powerful supercomputer in the world that rests on your shoulders. It is a million times more powerful than a MacBook Pro. Although it is our greatest asset, it is also a significant liability, for within the mind exists our fears, the sources of suffering, and a host of labels and paradigms that limit our potential and understanding of ourselves. After understanding the essence of our brain, thoughts, filters, and trauma, you will learn and practice simple techniques to help improve focus and productivity, reduce anxiety, and expand creativity. Join us, and together, we will go beyond fear and doubt, discover the source of inspiration, and shatter the illusions that limit the possibilities.
